Default SC430 Wheels all chrome your opinion

Hey everyone,

Before I even start this thread I know everyone is going to be hating because these wheels are a bit to flashy, anyhow I need some feedback on what you guys think.

I have a 2002 white sc430 and i want to put on a set of zenetti heirs 20*8.5 and 20*10 in the back. I kind of like them and a buddy of mine is selling his for cheap.

I am looking for the deep dish plate look but think this may look a bit cheap?

Here are a couple of pics of cars with them on (they look cool!)...should i do it?

thanks

personally, i don't like all chrome. i prefer brushed aluminum with a chrome lip. but it's a matter of personal preference.

They look like they would reduce airflow over your discs and calipers, reducing heat dissipation and thereby decreasing braking performance. I know, the extra weight will reduce the braking performance far more than the extra heat buildup, but it's still something to consider.

If you like them go for it. If you decide later that you don't like them, go for something else. Hey it's your ride. Pics when you do.

agreed.
everyone's aesthetic is different.
your wheels will 'reflect' that point of view.
make your statement!

ok, looks heavy to me.

the use of a multi-spoke wheel design creates some
structural tension, strength and sense of motion, imo.

stainless wheels don't steal the show, complimenting
the car's body forms and glints. chrome shouts.
it all depends on what you're looking for.

The SC looks static with those rims. Seems very bulky and cumbersome.
