Default PLEASE HELP my new project!

Hello All! My name is Jason, and i'm a 15 year old from Arizona! My dad currently drives an 05 Scion xB, and when I get the car in August, hes getting a new car. I've almost convinced him to get an SC400 (he really likes them), and im looking to get the following effect:





I just have a few questions though. What size and offset are the rims on that car^ (just an estimate is OK). Which aero kit is on that car? Are the Tein Basic coilovers any good for the SC? (On my xB theyre AMAZING, but thats an xB). And my last question is, can someone give me a GENERAL estimate of how much it would cost to get a good paint job done on an SC at a shop using a nice black or grey/silver?

Thanks for any and all help! Very, very appreciated!

I am not sure about the kit and rims. I don't have much experience with suspension, but I would think any coilover setup would help the SC out alot. A good paint job depends on what you get. Anywhere from $2k-$4k, I would think. It depends if you just get the outside painted or if you strip your car down, and paint everything including engine bay, interior, etc.

As for your other questions, you could probably find some answers by using the search button. If not I am sure someone knows it.

Hope you get an SC! Good luck with that!

I'll take a shot on the rim sizes at 18x10 out back with a 28-30mm offset and strecthed tire...up front I'd say a 18x9 and about 36-38mm offset.......really hard to determine from just a picture.......anyway, Welcome to the Club

My next question: I was looking into nice yet cheap rims, and I found these:

HP Evos

Are these rims lo-quality cheap-os, or are they good quality, but only cheap because of the brand? They seem pretty nice, but I dont know....? Any thoughts...?

EDIT: Oh yeah and they say if you Buy It Now, they come with hubcentric rings. What are those?

Hubcentric rings align the wheel properly to the hub...you must have these!
