Haha. HKSC300, your car looks great. I think your car would look better with black/gunmetal wheels, just because your tags are that color, as well as your headlight housing, and along with that CF hood. What are the details on those wheels/tires?
I've got some new shoes being shipped here right this second. They're gonna be 18x9.5 +45 offset all around, I think its a little different, but I got a good deal on them. If they don't work out I'll just sell them back for cheaper I guess.
What size tires do you think I should go with? 245/40/19 seems to fit the best according to those "tire size calculators" but I'm not sure if they are accurate.
Oh, and also, the wheels I bought are a dark silver, light gunmetal color? If I don't like the color and all else fits good I'm gonna just get them powder coated gold. <-- They are 2 piece so is that still possible?

Edit: Btw, they are Speedline Corse 2210, here's what they look like. Powder coated gold? yay or nay?

i own a 92' sc300, same color as yours and i was thinking of getting black five stars with a huge chrome lip to match my tinted windows, otherwise when i get the car repainted a dark maroon, i might have the auto shop paint my rims the same color as the car?? my emblems are silver though, maybe a black rim with a gold lip to match your emblems

It's actually a 2 piece. I got another SC to replace my totalled one. This time it's a black '94. Same old tan interior though.

Damn roo, your exhaust actually looks like its gonna fire missles outta there or somethin. i like the color scheme.
i've got the silver tags on my current car, and probably gonna keep em with the color of the wheels. Getting tires tomorrow morning so i'll let you all know how it works out. Planning on going 275/35/18, since i think 245/40/18 will stretch. I don't really like the stretched look but I also dont want it to rub on the suspension. Any recommendations? If it rub's at all i'll probably have to run very small spacers.

i totally agree

you can change all of your gold emblems, thats easy

i personally cant stand putting gold even close to the wheels, personal prefrence ofcourse, but i'd listen to Hai if i were you

if you kept the gold emblems, gold/bronze rims with silver lip

black emblems - black or gunemetal rims with silve rlip

silver emblems - silver machined / black / gunmetal with silver lip

my personal choice.

click on my sig pic for gunmetal on red...

i removed all of my gold emblems in favor of gunmetal....

gold, like, the color of real gold went out of fashion in the 90's... gold painted wheels however, came in... you don't mix the two though...
