Default These Rims on an SC

I saw these, and thought it would be a great match for an SC. Any thoughts? Does anyone have them installed? They are a good size too.

there is an obvious difference between the "L" and the "7"

The 7 has bends at both ends an it is sharper in the turns.

Seriously... I think they would look clean on the SC personally, I wouldn't buy the knock-offs personally but if they look alright and will last, why not?

well if he really wants to know how they'd look on a SC, we need to know what specs are available...you could have the nicest wheel design in the world only available in crappy sizing.....in which case they would look like poop on our cars.

And being knock off wheels, they are heavier (slower acceleration and worse gas mileage) and won't "last." (the paint will come off, we could see discoloration, rust, etc.)

Thanks for the input guys.

I thought that they were fake, but I am somewhat new to the whole factor of Rims etc, I thought that they were all reletively the same.

I always thought that they would look good, what is the problem with the sizing?

Cheers!

Wheels/Rims come in so many different variations....you should never assume they're the same. As far as sizing, we'd need to know what sizes they're available in to see if they will even fit the SC, let alone, look good.
