Get them, no tire stretch, keep them forever.

The tread clearly asked for opinions...why try and bash the guy who was smart enough to not spend more than his car is worn on wheels just because his tastes are different than the op?

Well I don't think they look ghetto by any means. They are more of a luxury rim than a sport rim. Guess he was just trying to defend the fact that those wheels aren't ghetto.

I don't think they look bad, but I think there are better wheels to get

Those are going to look NICE, just don't do the stupid lower the car 1" off the ground with horrible negative camber mod along with it.

I can't do the stance look /massive neg camber thing. I am planning on pushing 500+ whp on my sc na-t. I wanted these wheels because it was 19x11 in the rear so i can fit some 305 tires on them. I am running full size tires with them and a pull on the fenders for them to fit in the rear. I figure since the car is getting a respray i better do all the minor body mods if any now before it gets resprayed.

see, why do we have to always take things personally? I clearly stated that I'm sure they're good wheels. I'm familiar with iForged. IMO the wheels don't flow too well with the body lines of the SC. But I might be wrong. And there is absolutely no need to bash my wheel choice. My 521's have been holding up great and are a fantastic choice for the money. I don't understand just how a $4k set of wheels do anything better then my $700 set. But that is neither here nor there.

Thank You. I bought my XXR's because my plan all along was to save up money to buy a 1 of 120 SC300. And I did. And I'm building it to be NA-T as well. However, I also wanted to keep my SC400 and make it look nice.

I was just giving some constructive criticism. No offense to anyone. Real talk. I'm just not one of those 'yes men'

They aren't new. They are gently used. I couldn't pay that much for wheels. 4k is way to much money if I hit a pot hole and ruin them. It's all good. Just wanted some opinion. Worst case I can just sell them, but I hope they look good. I have seen some guys with rims like it. Teelex and some other so I hope I made a good choice.

Good luck on your na-t build. I'm working on my na-t build right now as well. Need more traction. Lol

Me neither, you just got butt hurt when comparing your xxr's to a set of iForges, cause this is the second time, you quoted me.

Apples to Oranges. Oh well.

Thank you good sir, and I'm following your build thread and using it as inspiration. Respect for doing things the right way with it!

I dont know what you mean by quoting you a second time.... And I have no hurt feelings from comments made by immature individuals who lack class. Once again, there was no reason for personal attacks. I will not be jacking jwin's thread, so I'm dropping it.
