Default Work S1C Termists on the SC

Just got them in today, need to be polished a little bit but that will be saved for the weekend when I'm not sick They are used and the tires are waaaaaaaaay to small/VIP for my taste! but as soon as I drop her I think it will look a lot better. What do you all think?

rims look good.

As far as what I think of them on the SC, they look too small.

VIP? VIP what?

They do look nice though.

Are those 18's? They will tuck in if you go lower.

They're 18" and need larger tires to fill a bit more I think, I personally don't like 19"s. As far as VIP goes, the tires are way too small for the wheel and don't protect the rim at all, VIP cars typically put the smallest tires on as possible which in my opinion isn't the brightest idea but oh well The car does need a drop BADLY! will look much better once it is lower

very true, once you drop her it will be a night and day difference. also g'luck finding some thicker tires! car looks real clean, jus be prepared for your wheels to tuck once you lower it, no longer will it be flush.

Sick rims.. One of my favorites. But yes, the tires seem tiny.

what are the specs on the wheels and tires? and no excuses! hehe They should be labels on the wheels and the sizes are written right on the tires

I love that design on the SC but they're sport wheels, not VIP. The tires are short but not that stretched. My guess it it will be a decent fitment when you lower the car. Not aggressive but not super battleship either.

[edit] Team Target Demo Car with the same wheels

Like was said they are no where near VIP. Also, stretching tires is not just a VIP thing.

They look especially small since you are 4x4 action right now. Big drop and big spacers and it will look nice good luck.

I was just using it as an example dude.... I know they're no where near it, just saying that's kinda what they look like. Not going to bother with spacers I don't think but we'll see how it looks after the drop
