So if it wasn't for cost you would get 19's then? 19's definately cost more in most cases but this thread seems to be about what looks best on the SC. While 19's may look better, 18's are probably more practical from a price and performance perspective.

14 inch spinners are the bomb....

Just kidding probably 19" rims, I would say 20's but they will rub on bumbs in the SC's, and expecially if you throw a few homies in the back seat...

Well then your rear tires are skinny and you have a wicked inward offset...Numerous SC's rub with 20's and low profile tires but those tires stick close to the rolled fender lips... I have a 2" drop on my modified SC400 with 18's that are as wide as the wheel wells will take and it's a close call...20's would not work on my ride and if I tried you would see sparks and shreaded tires all over the place...

I've noticed that too.

I love the wide-spoke 5-spokes! Those are just about the best looking 5 spokes I've seen. I'm not into really thin-spoke 5/6 spoke wheels. That's just me.

I also think the chrome looks great on that ride, because......it's black. There is just something about onyx and chrome that works.

from me.
