I think those look bad *** on like Mercedes CL's and S coupes, and I saw a pic of a set on a 98 SC at the Sprewell Racing site, but Im not sure if you would need adapters and all that to put them on the SC, anyone know or have comments?

German to japanese dosn't tend to go. i already tried this with some phatty racing dynamics for a bmw-british- to my sc400 and it was a lug patter of like 5 on 115 and we need 5 on 114. i was pissed to say the least, i could have gotten an awesome deal

Hmm....yeah, I forgot that one should not cross over like that, as most German rims are made for German cars and not others and I know BMW and MB lug patterns are very rare.

I honestly wouldn't put european rims on a japanese car. it's like getting a bimmer and putting on racing harts...

I agree with Do-Luck. Get wheels that fit and FIT the car.

If you must have German's on your Lexus, then order 60hub blank cuts with the correct offset 35et-45et. Most german companies I have dealt with will do it.

Take the blanks to a local machine shop and they will punch and seat your bolt pattern then notch out the hubs to match perfectly.

In the end, you get what you get. Most peops I know say that people with Carlsson's or AMGs on their Lexus are wannabe Lexus Drivers that are dazed and confused with downgrading wheel habits.

the more you guys talk people out of german wheels on sc cars, the more unique my sc will be...

make your own decisions and not let other people make decisions for you.

Actually I think that Carlsson makes rims with the correct 5 x 114 bolt pattern. If you go to tirerack.com they have a listing for the Lex GS which has the same bolt pattern as SCs. Tirerack just doesn't list rims over 18" for SCs for some reason, but the ones they have for the GS should work but I would check first before I bought them.
