the IS rims will probably look pretty good, but I want a wider tire- so it doesnt look like my car is on ice skates! I hate the gap i have with the stock wheels (gap inbetween sidewall of tire and fender... you know the look- like when somebody buys rims with the wrong offset-

Ooooh right, I think the IS3 rims will have that same look to em. I will prolly just buy some H&R spacers and push those badboys out

Go with the Moda R6 rims in 18's...those IS rims look tiny on an SC, I tried some and immediately took them off. The SC had good sized wheel wells and when lowered and on 17's it just doesn't look right, IMO.

Oh, I would love to, but im only gonna have about a $500 budget for both wheels AND tires, so Im pretty much looking at a used set of IS3 rims, or MAYBE some used TT rims or GS rims

You can have them if you want They're screwed though! Dunno if they're rebuildable either.

Actually when I think about it, the drop of the normal struts and Espelirs are just about the same as the Kei-Office were (except for the rear... the rears are lifted by about 1/2" higher than what I had it set at)... no more bouncing, no harshness, no more stomach queeziness over bad roads Just nice and smooth with the perfect drop.

All I need now are better bushes and some nice swaybars and that's it for me
