those new rims look amazing! i didn't know a 9.5" wide rim could get that much lip!

This thread is so ironic cause i was looking at the ruff racing wheels from need 4 speed motors and i was gonna get them till i seen them on one on ebay. i didnt like the way they looked but in this finish they look so good that i want to get em but not for me. I wanna be different but ur cars r beautiful. Then after that someone i know was gonna sell me some 19" and 18" hp evos but he flaked like 3 days ago cause he selling his car. How gay huh. Both ur cars r awesome. Ill post pics when i get my rims soon. I will have them probably on july 31st. havent seen them on an sc yet.... YET.

Nice looking pair of SC's. HP wheels look super nice, as always. And the Ruff wheels fit
the SC well too.

Mikesc4 - I really like the style and look of your rims...but the 8.5 width is for skinnies...I got the 10.5 rims and wish I had 11.5's......
