Looking great, can't wait to see 'em in person!

it's hella good. retail is 900 bucks a wheel? sorry man i didn't even pay attention to that when you are ready larry, find a wheel that you like and i will try to hook you up. heck if i happen to drive down to LA in my gs400, i can even deliver the wheels up here to you, how about that for a service too bad you wont' see the sc430 for a while, my wife is enjoying it and i can't have the car now coz' my parents are here (not enough space, haha). but well maybe you will see something new here anyway

So, you're offering door to door service, huh? Can't beat that! I see lots of rims I like, I'm like a kid in a candy store. Several AC have caught my eye, the Altstadt Exe Style I, some of the Savini's too. I'm not planning on a full body kit but there are several aerodynamic upgrades I intend to make to my car. Just want to be sure it all flows together in a coherant style. Don't want it to end up looking as though it was designed by a committee.
in fact, i was very close from getting the AC lative for my sc430. but there was a sudden change and ended up with these trafficstar
