hre 549r on sc430
umm... anyone still has pics of this? wheels experts they had it on their silver sc430 demo car, but later the project was killed and he sold the wheels. too bad he even pulled all the pics so i can't find them anymore
i know someone here on CL got the wheels and put them on the PB sc430 (i think so) for the wife. but i can't remember the member name anymore and can't get anything through searches
anyone?

it's *ONLY* 2 in the front and 3 in the back (from WE website), honestly that's not too overwhelming for me. i got that on my GS as well. on the SC i would really expect a bit more lip coz' it takes lower offset, should be almost pushing 4" in the back

Rom, CL member jcramair1 bought those wheels for his wifes PB SC430. The car was also lowered with TEIN CS Coilovers.
I did a search but all pics were red X's, if I have any I'll post. As far as the rear lip is concerned, on 3pc forged wheels that have barrels in .5" increments, it is tougher to get the larger lips. I must be honest though, I think that rear lip should be at least 3.5" (actually thats what that looks like to me).
2pc Forged wheel, you will get a 4" lip all day and all night.

thanks for the info guys. jeff, you are on it, i saw your car and i almost wanted to go and start measuring how much lip you got that's serious lip action. and you did a good job so now you don't have to think about bbk
thanks for the into too, derrick from the pics it does look like more lip than 3". i have 3" on my gs and it doesn't look like that

Henry, those are +24 offset front and rear. My new wheels will have the same offset as well but the lip will be tiny little shorter than what Jeff got. 6mm shorter on the front and 5mm shorter on the rear.
