Default New possible wheels???

What do you guys think?

They are 20" wheels and I have an 02 White/Gold Pearl.

I found on our site that the original 18"s weigh in at about 37lbs. These new 20" wheels weigh in at around 33lbs, so not too bad for going up two sizes. Wish I could see what they look like on the car, but not very good with Photoshop. I also will not be lowering the car anytime soon...hope it doesn't look stupid.

Any comments welcome.

I've always liked chrome rims with the white paint combination. Here's a thread I keep bookmarked, has a lot of different styles to look through: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...k-warning.html

Playtym-

On the white crystal gold IMO chrome or chrome with white accents on the spokes would be the only ones for me!

Here are some cool wheel viewers you can get a look for wheels on the SC:

MY personal fav: http://www.tirepros.com/wheel_visualizer.php

http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse....Visualizer.cfm

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/wtpack.jsp

http://www.imaginewheel.com/index_en.php

I believe www.tires.com and www.ntb.com have them too, but it's been a while.

Hope this helps.

I like chrome and all that, but with the white I just feel like it all kind of blends together and I want something that POPS! The black against the white would really stand out and I think give it a nice aggressive look. We shall see...wheels can be such a gamble...ugh!

If its on a white car, you're better off going an ALL black wheel. Black Lip and Black spokes.

But with a black car you definitely need the chrome lip.

Default PlayTymme...want my wheels?

Hi there,
Vermont? North of Massachusetts?
Anyways, I'm in Central MA. Check out my wheels
The Maya STM (discontinued) 20" in chrome are brand new 20x9.5 F +29 and 20x10.5 R +30....BBK kit friendly. I thought about replacing my Iforged Aero 20" brushed with high polished in the spring 11. I don't think my blue Sc430 would look good with chrome, any thoughts? Take care Ned

Those are decent wheels, but not a fan of chrome on white...think it gets washed out a bit. I really like the way black with a polished lip pops against the white. Out of curiosity, how much are you asking? I live in Central VT, but am down in Rindge NH, (border of MA), quite often.

BTW...sweet, sweet rides! I'm a huge NISSAN fan! I've owned 10 brand new Nissans and never looked back. I'm hoping when I get the SC done...I can make it in some shows and win some trophies...that's what I'm shooting for anyways.

This is probably a good thread to keep open to get people opinions on wheels... Anyways, have any thoughts on these 20s? They're not exactly my cup o' tea. But they're incredibly cheap to not consider, only $325 total .

Those look great! hey, by any chance can you take a image off Google of a white SC and put my wheels at the top of the page on it, so I can see what they might look like? I would really appreciate it. I no good with photoshop.
