Red face Best Looking Wheels

Hey fellaz, just wanted to get some opinions on what type of wheels would look good on a 1995 green sc300, somthing with a big lip in the rear and a little lip on front wheels. Right now i have supra tt wheels on it... tire size 275/45/17 front 245/45/17.

pics of wheels would be nice

What kind of look are you hoping to achieve. An executive classy look? a sporty look? an OEM+ look?

Im biased, and I think that a more executive look wheel really works well with the classic SC body.

Once you narrow this down, we can help make some recomendations-

Also- whats your budget?

then yes, you should definitely specify what your "average" wheel pricing is in your definition. Ours are different than yours. Average pricing to me is $3K.. without tires. LOL

There are so many wheels that I like it's hard to narrow it to a few. Here's 4 from Symbolic I like. They're reasonable for 3 piece chrome, about $3800 a set.




Really liking these Savini Forged wheels too. Expensive at $6K set but sweet.

Also... check out www.takumiproject.com for a very good selection used Japanese wheels that have been imported for sale to the US.

a few of their wheels and their price:

Koenig (by SSR- not the cheap brand)


-This wheel is very common in Japan on tuned cars.
18X10.5 et 3 and 18X11.5 et 3

price:$1980 for all 4!!!!!!!!

EXTREME offsets that would require your fenders to be seriously pulled (I have been quoted 600 per fender... which is not bad), but damn these would look INSANE on an SC.



Manaray Stutt


-Very classy wheel that is understated, but has a very nice lip and timeless design.
19X9 et 25 19X10 et 30

price:$1750 for all 4



Work Rezax2


-What can I say about Work wheels that has not been mentioned before, quality finish, cool deisns, very nice lip action... classy-
19X9.5 et 39 19X10.5 et 45

price:$2080


there are three VERY affordable options ranging from mild to wild!
