Guys, I'm in pretty bad shape in the wheel department. Since I bought the car (1996 SC400) over a year and a half ago all I've really wanted to do was upgrade the rims. See, right now they're some ghetto three spoke chrome rims and the chrome is falling off and well, they suck. So around Christmas I bought some used TT rims. I took them to be refinished and what was supposed to be a 3 week job turned into a 3 month job, and they're stillnot finished. The guy's in the hospital, there have been delay blah blah blah. Also, in the time the rims have been there I've been doubting whether or not it was worth paying all the money for something I'm not totally happy with anyway. He said they would be done today or free so I'm holding him to that and making him finish them, which is allowing me to save a lot.
Anyways, back to business. I need some rims. The 17's are gonna be too small and can be my winter, beater, track rims whatever but I would really like something nice. Did I mention I'm clueless on wheel brands and who makes what style? I would really be interested in 18's or 19's for a reasonable price (I'm still in highschool) and if possible, some sort of lip. I'm open to chrome, polished, gun metal, black, all the options but would like to stay away from too heavy of a mesh style ala BBS. Please guys, any help would be very appreciated. You experts can consider me your little project and try out anything on your minds. Thanks a lot.

I am trying to sell a one month old wheels https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...readid=110086. These fit your car. You have to buy new center rings which should be very cheap and tires because these tires won't fit SC.
You can check it out at tirerack.com to have an idea what they look like on your car. PM me if you're interested.

Thanks for the replies guys. In regards to the Inoxs, I've always liked them and a member (SC400nitrous or something) has them on his black SC. Look good IMO. In regards to the TRD ones, I don't think that style would suit the SC. IS, yes they look great but I dunno about the SC. Keep 'em coming if you can. Anyone have ideas for something dark, maybe gunmetal...?
