I think the JDM Trafficstar DTS are way better than the Maya because the center cap and the engraving of "Trafficstar" on the spoke!!
"Shy?" +30K posts Henry is "shy"? When did this happen? (j/k)
Nice rides fellas...ALL of them. And nice looking wheels Henry. That rear lip is.

yup, 10.5 in the back. for the sc430, 10 is really "nothing"

in fact you can do 11 on the sc430 any day with the right offset and no fender mod. however with 11 i will have to run 295/25 or 305/25, where the sidewall is significantly less than what i have now. not good when the sc430 is actually a daily driver

mark is correct about the trafficstars dts over the maya. the caps are better, and the engraving on the spokes is just unreal. the wheels don't look so plain anymore

that's aspect ratio of the width. 245x0.35 and 285x0.30, that's thesidewall height and you can see they are about the same

Just wanted to put my $.02 in. I had a great time that day guys!!! Mark and Henry are real genuine and down to earth guys. I have learned so much from them about my SC. We need to do it again soon. It's just too bad my wife missed the whole day. Maybe the next time. Until then.....

oh btw, jeff, i forgot to tell. the rear lip is 3.5". that's the max i could do already, so you still have more lip and yeah, our cars really look similar now i was running out of options. mark got the multispoke, my gs already has mesh, and you have 5 spokes. there are only so many 20 reverse out there....
