Smile Wheel Photos please

Dose any one have any photos of AT Italia Inox Chrome 18x8
or Enkei LMI / 5S Chrome 18x8 wheels on a SC430?
I would really like to see these on the car before I buy.

Thanks in advance

those widths will be very weak on a UZZ40 SC. I urge you to go wider...

You can go to tirerack.com to check it out.
I believe they show you how these look like on your car.
I found one pic, but it is a GS.
19"s will look more right and wider is better.

In my opinion, you should probably save up a little more money and get a set of nicer rims for your sc later on.
I am not saying these are bad. Just be patient, don't need to hurry ....

you can get run flats in more than one size. (also- anyone know anything about streching run flats? ) with the SC430- if your not going to go wider / bigger - then just get the TRD center caps and call it quits. But the SC430 begs for a 19 or 20 with a streched 265 on an 11" wide wheel in the rear!!!!!!!!! and a 235 streched on a 9.5 or 10 up front

Those are 19"s on that GS.

If you want to keep your 18" tires and tire sensors, 18" TRD will be a better choice.

Quoted from the ad:
"The TRD wheel is specifically designed for the SC430. The wheel is hub-centric and is counter-weighted to offset the air pressure sensor used in each OE wheel."

Cool

I want to be able to rotate tires so cant stager.
Don't want any bolt heads to clean.
RunCraps? Never again!
Last flat on my Vette cost almost 400 bucks.
I just want a simple 5 spoke chrome wheel
with out spending a ton of money on new tires
when I have almost new tires now.

Leaning toward Enkei : LMI / 5S Wheels

if any one has pics of this wheel on a SC430
Please Email it to me.

Thanks
