Default Got new wheels for my SC300

Picked up a set of Lowenhart LD1s from my buddy for $1500. He was gonna put them on his LS400 but unfortunately totalled the car. They are 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear.

Now I'm gonna have to lower the car a bit, and up the boost on the twins to overcome the wheel weight lol...

Nice wheels but you will be hurting when u need new tires as 19" tires can cost 1000+--a good set of brand new 19" tires could run you $1500+ ($350+ a tire!!) I was going to get 19's but opted for 18's due to the tire cost. Whatever u do avoid making enemies A buddy of mine got his tires slashed after just putting his new shows on--boom $1500 and insurance will not cover tires (as far as I know)

When I showed the car to one of my friends, he asked me why I put SUV rims on my car. At first I wasn't sure how the car would look...I'm more of a "performance rim" kind of person...but my friend owed me money and had the rims sitting there...so it worked out.

Looks good. More drop and an Auto Couture kit and you're golden.

$1500?

For the last 3 years I've seen this style of wheel on more cars around SoCal than anything else. But like they say, as long as YOU like it then

I thought $1500 was a good deal, last I checked these rims went for $900+ each. Not to mention the 275/30/19 S03 Pole Positions that came with the rears are probably $300+ each.

****, picture settings were set to low on my phone so the pics are real small. but here are similar rims on the escalade.
only difference might be the bolt pattern i think.
