Default 19" Gold Luff S5R on my SC300

Hello everyone,
Finally got my new set of wheels.

I have seen SC's on the other luff wheels, m1 or something, but not on these
so I figured I should post for others.

Questions and comments are encouraged,
but yes I do plan on lowering the car soon,
Calipers will be polished or painted (can't decide),
rear could use a small spacer.

wheels are 19" gold luffs S5R 19x7.5 +35 with 245/35/19's all around.
i opted to not run staggered because this setup is still large, light,
and I can run decent width tires still + ease of rotation.

I know people will say 7.5 is too small, but driving it around it does not feel sluggish at all. it feels darn close to stock, which is perfect for me.

mods feel free to move me if i got the wrong forum/merge etc..

pictars:

lol, yeah tell me about it. i'm hoping it will settle a bit more but i'm in the market for some springs right now. one step at a time.
would have gone suspension first, but i couldn't pass up the deal i got.

Not really a fan of gold on red, but all in all

nice upgrade!

dropping it would make a world of a difference

the thought had crossed my mind, but I don't think I can bring myself to do it.
I was thinking about just taking all of them off except the sc300 emblem in the middle.

Looks nice dude. Gold and red are a big for me. But gold emblems would be to much imo; to much gold and red. my .02

The wheels aren't necessarily my style but they look fine. Everyone has different tastes. They do have a lip (+) and the wheels are also bigger than mine

I also say no on gold emblems, even though I have gold emblems and tips and I think it's a unique look, I think chrome emblems just look classy and I, myself, would want to add more silver to my car's color.
