The reason it looks lifted is because i took out a lot of crap out of this car. Too much to mention, but abs/trac/battery reloc/light seats/ and the small stuff like antenna/stock radio/cd changer/fact amp/spare.... etc

the specs are :17x 7.5 with 32 offset with 3/16" spacers up front to clear the caliper bracket. 225 /45/17 tires.


If they weren't concave i would have passed on them.I like concave, even a little

Maybe they used to be gunmetal, I don't know, but I would powder coat them gunmetal. It would make them look better, imo. They are much better than those stock things that sit 5 inches in the wheel well.

They were silver with a polished lip(cleared) but the clear coat was chipping off and coroded the rest of the wheel under clear coat. So i stripped them(aircraft stripper) and hit them with acid to clean the corrosion.

Now they are bare metal.I'm not worrying about it anymore because i can hit them with acid once a month to keep them from corosion.

I wanted to paint them either black ,gunmetal or even bronze , but that would just do the same thing if they got scratched again. The corossion just gets under the paint and you cant stop it.

Powder coat is too expensive though

Does older SC's have different suspension? The OP's one has huge gaps when mine ('99) with stock suspension has much less. What's the deal?

I agree.. Just drop it.. There are so many ways to do it.. Just need to know how much you want to spend and how low you want to go..

Cool looking ride. Like the different looks with no badges and different wheels. Keep up the modifications!
