hyper black
225/40/18 front

Be careful around potholes on those front tires. A 225 on 9.5"s is likely to leak after a few good bumps. Looks great though

I think 235's would be a good choice. 245's will probably rub.

They look great! I like the nose on your car too!

245's will rub if you turn to too fast or turn too hard. 235's shouldn't rub though.

Car looks great, you just need some kind of center caps.

Damn they great on your SC for sure.

Im not totally against knock offs but you could actually get a set of CR KAIs used for like the same price as the rotas brand new i think.

Heres an example. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pts/2067569948.html I know there smaller and have weak offsets but im just saying.

But i do still envy your car, it looks beautiful. Add a 10mm in the rear and your perfect.
