Default Good bye to my 19" EXXE wheels and Hello to my New Wheels-20" Weds Kranze LXZ (POLL)

Thanks to Dan_K, I just bought his 20" Weds Kranze LXZ at great price.

I think I am Wheelolic. I THINK I NEED HELP. Is there a special HELPLINE for this illness

This is 3rd set on SC430 in last 10 months.

Here are some pics of my new wheels

There are NO Spacers on these.

The specs are 20 x 8.5 w/ +37 in the front and 20 x10 w/+35 in the rear.


(UPDATED PICS AS OF 3-5-06 WITH 15MM SPACER IN THE FRONT AND 10MM SPACER IN THE REAR)
New specs with spacers are EQUIVALENT to 20X8.5 (+22) 20X10 (+25)








Here are pics of my previous wheels19" Exxe

Really going to miss these wheels, Especially the BIG LIPS.










Which would you prefer

Your new wheels are by FAR better than the Exxe wheels. Congrats!

I like the EXXE wheels much better. They blend perfectly with your car.

They are both beautiful sets of wheels but I would go with the Weds.

John,

I still think the Exxe looks better only because the chrome finish doesn't work well with the Millenium Silver on the SC430. I do like the small spokes thou it gives your SC more of a sporty nature. When are you getting a body kit for that bad boy. Autocouture full bumper kit looks killer on the SC430. My personal favourite over the Wald kit.

Thanks for all you input.

I like the Exxe wheels also. I think they are a great wheel but I wanted 20's.

If the Exxe wheels were 20's , I would have kept them.

Because SC430 is a big car , I think it needs 20's

Keep the votes comming.

The rear looks fine but front looks little tucked in but its not bad as you think. I am thinking about getting 10mm spacer.

We'll see.

I always thought the correct offset for the sc430 was +30f and +29r

the wheels look a bit off to me, but the style is def. much better w/ the weds.

SC430 can put wide range of offset. The ideal offset is __x 9 with +30 offset and ___x10 with +26 to +29 offset in the rear in my opinion.

Fronts do look tiny bit tucked in but like I said before, its not bad at all. The rear in fine.

20x10 with +35 is less than 1/4 inch compare to 20x10 with +29 offset. Front, like I said before, I am thinking of putting 10mm spacer.

Next time, I am going to run 285-30-20's in the rear.
