Default SC430 rims? Will they fit on a SC400?

Few questions.....
1-Will the SC430 rim fit right on the SC400 or do I have to have spacers or hubcentric rings?
2-What is the offset, hub bore, and bolt pattern of the SC400?
3-Have any of you guys seen 430 wheels sold anywhere for a good price? Thanks.

Default SC430 Rims on a SC400

Hey since I have been having so much troubles getting Supra TT rims, I have considered opening up the thought of getting SC430 rims on my car. What are your thoughts on them, here is a picture. The center cap kit should be coming out soon as well, another reason I am considering the rims on my car.

Phoenix88,
Not bad but on a black car I think a brighter finish wheel looks best, like chrome etc. That is a black car isn't it? It doesn't look Jade. There are so many to chose from that I think you do better and I’m not quite sold on the 430 on a 400. Just my opinion!

Ya I am not quite sold on that idea either. That isn't my car btw, and I think it is black. But with the prices that the 18s are at... w/ rubber, the rubber alone is worth as much. And then you will have 18s, that are decent, better than the 16 ten spokes, and you will be able to slap then on nicer 18s later. Thats just an idea I got, save some money since I am still in school. Too many rims to choose from, I will admit SC430 rims aren't that nice on the car, but I also think they aren't ugly on them either.

Maybe someone can photoshop the SC430 rims with the new center cap on an SC3/4? The new cap doesn't look that bad.

I tried to photo shop the centercap ones, but since it is missing the bottom, I am missing the bottom as well on my car. I agree TT rims looks great on the SC, but 18s

IMO I don't really like the sc430 wheels on teh sc400. I say just save up your money, keep your 16" ten spokes on and then just buy a nice set of wheels that you really want.

I think you are right, I think I was just trying to create an artificial want. Anyways thanks for your opinions everyone, I really wish lexus made their 18s a little better.
