Not really feeling them. The huge arching spokes give a fake huge lip...
Lip is actually measured from the face of the wheel directly downwards then out to the edge...
Also, with those spokes will make the wheels look tiny when on the car...I say keep lookin for something else!

I know exactly what you're saying. It makes the spokes look slightly smaller because it curves inward and doesn't extend all the way to the lip/rim at the same level/distance as the middle part/hub. I used to have 17" wheels like this on my old Civic and I always hated that design of the spokes but when the wheels are rolling, it looks normal size and looked good to me. I think a straight, non-curved spoke design looks the best, though, but I guess if you're going to have a big lip, you can't have the spokes covering the lip, etc.

They would look great if you drove a grey G35, but on the SC I dont think they would look all that hot. Somethin about the spoke style that just doesnt flow with the SC's lines in my head...but then again, it could just be my head.

I don't know... I think any rim that looks good on a G35 would look better on a SC... I would go for it..couldn't hurt if you get a deal... they could be winter wheels...
