What do you guys think about this rim for a SC4? Maybe I should mention that this is the factory rim for an Aston Martin DB12 :eek: , so most probably it wouldn't fit my SC. Even if it would, I guess a set of rims would cost more than my car 
Does anyone know rims that look almost like this one?

The SuperTourismo style rims like the OZ looks nice but I don't think they would look good on the SC4...
MHT's look nice but MHT rims are very mediocre and for $5100 with tires, you can get better wheels...like these...
You can get the Weds Kranze Shoki in 18" or 19"...here's a picture of it in silver...

Take a look
Try this site for getting rims. It shows them on a car and is really helpful.

While tirerack does sell some decent stuff and they're highly recommended by many to get tires, they just don't carry the nice JDM stuff...they care some good wheels but the majority of them are just so-so to weak...

The reason I posted the site:
www.tirerack.com/index.jsp
was not necessarily for the selection but the functionality that the web site provides. You can pick your car and it will show you a real pic of the car. You can then select your car color and it will also show a real pic of that color as well. Then you can play around with wheels and find a particular design which you fancy. Then you can look for the best wheel that is similar elsewhere. The point being that you can see what it will look like on your car before you buy. I like it =)

Nice site
Nice site ... thanks.
Check out the pic. It shows a 93 SC4 with some Granturismo style wheels. Not exactly the rim I am going to get, but it's the style I am looking for. I personally think it looks sweet. Opinions?

At 20" we are talking about jewelry, I don't know about MHT's other characteristics but they have one of the finest if not the finest chrome finishes in the business.
I belive they chrome the wheels for Lowenhart.
I am sure Manaray will correct me if I am wrong.

To each his own, but that type of wheel to me is more for a luxury four door or something like that. The MHT and wheels with less spokes with thicker spoke diameters seem to fit much more nicely than the "fan" type of wheels shown.
I'm sure Manny will be all over me for this, but check out the Konig Imagine and also the Hartge Classic. The Hartge looks much better on the car than when just looking at it. Check out page 16 & 17 of the SC gallery to see the hartge in 19". Really, really nice black SC with clear pics. Here's my car with the "knock off Konigs" . A little busier rim, but retains that classic shape well.

The Hartge Classic is one of my favorite wheels, but I would NEVER put them on a Lexus...they are a BMW tuner and don't belong on any other car (besides that, to get them to fit on a Japanese car, you'll have to have the wheels drilled as Hartge doesn't make a hole patter than fits Japanese cars...doesn't that tell you something?)
If you want a SIMILIAR wheel, the Weds Kranze Shoki's are the ****...
BTW, the "fan" style wheels are actually RACE wheels...the Germans love 'em...check out the V8STAR and DTM races...here's a sample of a "naked" V8STAR race car...sweet.

Personally, I like wheels with lips. If you like the Turismo style wheels, check out these QUALITY FORGED wheels from Fikse...

Or these (also HIGH QUALITY FORGED) from HRE makes the model 549 below...
