Default My new 99 SC400

Hi fellow SC owners,

About a month ago I picked up my seventh, that's right, seventh SC.
I have always had a special love for the styling and smoothness of 92-00 SC's.

Throughout the last several years I have owned the following:
-97 DWP SC400
-95 Black on Black 5 speed SC300 - hence the name UniqSC
-97 DWP SC300 5 speed
-95 Red SC400
-95 Red 5 speed SC300
-94 Silver Spruce SC400

My most recent SC400 is a 1999 with very very low miles. I always wanted a 99-00 SC400 and was finally able to find "The One".

I am planning on doing only mild mods like HID Lights, 1-1.5" drop, Tint, Wheels and things like that.

Below are some pics of my cars with 3 sets of wheels I have. I would appreciate it if you could let me know your thoughts on what will look better on my car.
I personally like the Rays wheels, and I think once I put the little center caps on and lower the car they will look even better.

Thanks!

Stock wheels:


Konig Heatsink 19" Wheels which I already had sitting in my garage:


OEM Infiniti G35 Rays 19" Forged wheels:

I guess you should just go with the G35 rims for now, but I hope you don't just settle with those. I think everyone should just save up for work wheels lol, lately I've just seen really boring wheels that were stock or cheap. Just get brand name wheels or something :3. I wish I saved up for powered by max coilovers, but then again those are really expensive. If you're just keeping the stock body kit and maybe adding lips here and there then get some exhausts. I got 5zigen fireball megas and I love them, hence why I got them.

Rays all the way in my book. Good to see you finally found the SC you have been waiting on...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am planning on doing exhaust too. At this time i don't really think i want to spend all the big money on coilovers, although I know they're nice.
Actually the G35 wheels are made by Rays Engineering/Volk Racing, and are forged. These are not your average cheap OEM wheels. I've always liked those and managed to find a brand new set with band new bridgestone tires for really cheap.

Thanks again for the comments.

Congrats on finding "The One". May she bring you all the joys, and little of the sadness.
