Default My next Mod for my SC is coming

Italian OZ Vela 19 inch

I expect to have them by May. I think it will look great on my SC400. You like?

But, I qualify my answer by saying "only if you can afford the tires that fit 19s"

Default 19" VOLK RACING AV3 WHEELS

Looks simular to the AV3 Volks...

I like them... GL with it, 19s are a little to big for my taste, but to each his own

LOL, that is the main reason I don't like 19s, the pricing of tires are just crazy... 18s are prob the biggest I would ever go, personally...

It's not too bad actually. You can get some good tires on all fours for only $1400 mounted total. Just shop around.

I have 17's on my 325i, which is by far smaller than the SC.... they JUST fit the 325i. the sc would need 18's or 19's to look right IMO.

To me $1400 is ALOT for just tires.... I mean I can get a set of like 18s for about $700 - $800 is that is still alot for just tires

The bad part about 19s is the choice in tires. You pretty much are forced to get Pirellis which wear fast. So to add to the cost, think buying a new set of rears every year.

And yes those rims are sweet. I was looking at those for a while back when I drove the SC400.

looks good Brian...I think those look a lot like the Blitz Technospeeds Z2's...

If I had the extra cash, I'd definately get a set of 19's...The SC is too big to have anything smaller than 18" IMO...
