hahahaa, pm me if you want to find out. i got a super hook up on the wheels and superb service as well. i think it's always a good idea to have a true reliable jdm sources. i ordered these wheels and they were at my door step in THREE weeks. and the wheels were pretty much made after i ordered. what else can i ask for. i recommend my hookup to every single one.

oh, and did i say my wife was sooooo happy about that too? she was so surprised and happy when she learned that the wheels were in after only 3 weeks

thanks for the compliment man it's funny coz' in the beginning my wife wanted multispoke but i wanted 5 spokes. but she said 5 spokes are kinda boring and plain, which i agreed. but since we couldn't find anything multispoke in 20s, ended up having these.

sometimes i do actually think my car doesn't stand out as much as mark's and carlo's, since their wheel style are so "unique" and "different". guess i can only rely on that big lip

I normally would agree with your wife because generally I am not a big fan of 5 spoke wheels, especially those with spokes that aren't thick enough, like those on the HRE & iforged 5-spokes, but the spokes on yours look great & compliment the SC430 very well I may possibly need you to hook me up in the future Are those forged wheels BTW ?

hahaa, you are right on andrew, and that's why when i first saw the dts i was like umm... this would look good on the sc430. i am glad it worked out, as long as it's comfortable with the eyes

unfortunately these wheels are cast, not forged, so they are heavier. and believe me, i could feel it compared to what i had on the gs4. but in terms of strength i think they are about the same

and ANY TIME you need my help andrew, let me know!!! i will do what it takes to help you get what you want

Henry,

Absolutely stunning

I believe it's time to get the wife out of her GX470 and into a nice white SC430 or maybe you can just sell me yours

Very Very nice. I should have told my salesman to not drill holes for the front license plate. I now have 4 ugly holes in the bumper. Looking good!!

That is one beautiful SC. The Wald kit just fits on this car. It just belongs and is an understated kit, perfect for the sc. And the wheels are beautiful too. Nice lip in the rear. Congrats Henry
