I would sell them to someone with a Mustang and then use the profit to buy something else.

DOn't tell me, you got the wheels for a super low price.
I'm getting so tired of seeing kids putting the wrong wheels on their car because they aren't patient enough to save up for something better. Then they post pics and get upset when people criticze it. At least this guy is kinda cool about it. He didn't get upset when the fellas told him the truth.

The wheels are not horrible just not right for this car. Mustang, Camaro or Challenger yes. Lexus, no.

Not feeling the wheels. Rota's or xxr's would've been better.

I understand what you're saying, but I am not a kid. I pay my own bills and work two jobs. I appreciate you noticing that I didn't get upset when people were saying their opinions about my wheels.. It's my car and if I wanted to put 28" wheels with spinners and paint my car purple I would. I like to hear people opinions because I like having an outside view.. But what really matters is what I think.. Thanks for the rant, it's really good to express your feelings, but don't go around calling people kids when you don't know them thanks.

Thank you, I appreciate a nice chrome wheel especially on a white car like mine. I will get a drop as soon as i save up money for coilovers

Such a beautiful SC.

Changes could be recommended as :
wider tires, especially for the rear, atleast make it appropriate for the speedo to be most accurate.
Chrome is fine, just have less of it. say Chrome Lip but white centre, or black, or gold.. everyone seems to like gold on white these days.

but the below picture shows the oem rim which IMO looks much more appropriate than those things you have on your car.
Ive even seen those same rims in chroms if thats your fancy. but atleast these oem ones are hubcentric and arent throwing out your speedo.
ofcourse its not soo low profile.. but lol if you were concerned with looks you woudlnt be driving on those things you are now.



while your at it.. lose the Antenna car never shoulda came with it.

I like 'em. then again, I like things differently than most.
probably needs a drop, definitely needs bigger (taller) tires (245/40 should do the trick).

place i play with tire sizes:

(stock is 225/55 16x7 +50)
