Thank you GmanSC and Paul! The weather has been really good to us and it’s such a joy to have the top down cruising PCH....

Welcome to the forum Dr Chey. It looks like you did the car justice. It looks nice. Glad that you restored it.

Default wheels and tires

Thank you digitatc, they are 20x9 35 offset wrapped in Ohtsu(Falken) 245/35/20 and 20x10.5 38 offset wrapped in 275/30/20. Personally, I should of went with 285’s in the rear but went with the consensus from everyone that 275’s are the standard for my specs.

Default New SC430 Owner in Texas

Just purchased a 2005 SC430, White Gold Crystal exterior, saddle interior, NAV, Mark Lev, rear spoiler, 65k miles. Wife loves it. Had a Lexus before and looking forward to learning about the SC.

Even came with a real Persian rug to protect the floor mats. Needless to say it was pretty much spotless.

Congrats and welcome to the club. Beautiful SC. I would get rid of that Persian rug ( don’t throw it out, bring into the living room) then get a Weathertech floor mats to protect the originals.

Actually we did just exactly that. The small Persian rug is now in the living room. The funny part was the PO didn't even take the dealer protective plastic off the carpet UNDER the floor mats. Kept it very nice for us.
