Jealous, what are you talking about? Couldn't think of anything else to say, huh.

Liquid SC,
My wife is a personal trainer and has lots of muscles. Maybe that's where we got the whole muscle car connection....

Will be doing rotors and calipers next. At 30K miles it's about due for some brakes anyway.

Lowering is down the road a bit. Rear sub and speakers going in this weekend. They're shot.

you know although I do agree with the wheels not being a good match, I do not agree with most people here. I'm sure with some lowering it will be quite a good combination. The wheels look quite like the Work VS-KF and nobody is hating that...good work!

I agree, Foose is da man and I really hoped his wheels worked on the SC. I'm glad I actually got to see a set of the Nitrous mounted on an 430. I think they're great looking wheels but for now I'll stick with the Tourmalines I bought to replace the stockers.

my buddies foose look pretty good...very similar if not the same style, but like I said too rich for my blood...

IMO looks better in person...maybe I'm biased, like I said I'm a bling kind of guy so anything chrome and 20" or 22" and expensive is right up my alley!

scdroptop,
Thanks for the look at your buddy's wheels. I think you are right. They do look better in person than in pics. Everyone who has seen them in person likes them on the SC. Strong bling factor here no doubt!

Next question: What color should I paint the calipers & rotor hubs?

I concur with scdroptop. Especially with your red car. Maybe black if you wanted to tame it down a notch. Also I would go with either Lexus or SC430 decal for the calipers. I guess they make them. I had some on my 06 GTI. Really sets them off.

If people post that it's not their cup of tea, it's just an opinion, not jealousy. Most people on this model forum have enough money to buy any wheel they want
