Default Wheel size that looks best on SC ...

It also depends on the wheel finish (chrome, silver, black, red, white, yellow, etc) and personal preference ...

I think 18 in the front and 19 in the rear would look pretty good on an SC. I've seen it done on other cars, but not on an SC.

I think 19's look the best, but I voted for 18's simply because they're more practical.

Ohhh no, here we go.....

I think you're gonna have to be more specific than that...
IMO...No matter what it's gotta be staggered.
Let's go from there...let's say that a drop is no brainer, BUT what kind of drop 1" or slammed?
17" and 18" looks great if the car is on coilovers and slammed
19" looks great if it's on coilovers or spring/strut setup.
20" looks great if 1) it's on coilovers and slammed or 2) has a body kit on it.
It just all depends another thing to consider is it a flush wheel or a wheel with a lip? Flush 18" wheels look like 19" wheels, My rear wheel with a the lip looks like 19" wheels but my front (small lip) really looks like 20"s.
Last but not least...has to be nice no matter what size! I vote for any size 17, 18, 19 or 20 as long as it's done right.

Agreed.
I just put some 18's on mine, sadly they're not staggered. It should look good with a drop and a kit on. For now the wheels look too big for the car.

for realz lol.

I think 19's "look" best but 18's are more practical and allow you to drive slightly more agressively, if that's your inclination I know it's mine.

i agree wholeheartedly. i actually wanted 18s on my car as from what i read around, it's the best size in terms of performance (not too large of a diameter so weight isn't on the outside while maintaining a fairly stiff sidewall size) a lot of it i think has to do with the stance of the car. when i was slammed on my stock 16" rims with my bodykit, it didn't look too bad, a lot of ppl actually liked how it was at that point. But now i have 19's (couldn't get 18s, HRE said rivets would hit the endless calipers) and actually raised the stance somewhat, and it still looks good. So imo, it would have to all depend on rim design, kit or not kit, stance. but 19s get my vote cuz i'm biased.
