Default Tommy's new shoes

I've had the SC for 6 years now. The entire time I have had the terrible stock 15" chrome 1 million spoke wheels.

They may not be some 19" staggered Work's or Volk's ... but I'm working on a very limited budget.

I picked these up today... $200 for all four. They were unbelievably dirty when I got them. So much so that I could hardly tell the condition of the rims.

They cleaned up nice, I think they will look good, and I finally have rims!

NEW INSTALLED PICS------------------

Very nice! Are you going to take some pics with them on your car?

Are those 17's or 18's?

Heh, I have a full set in a box packaged in my garage and never put them up for sale due to the insane shipping cost of one single box V/S 2 boxes. They've been sitting there for about 2 yrs.

It's a nice looking set of wheels for stockers, but they are pathetically skinny. Especially for the SC. Even on my IS they looked skinny. I like the design though. Always have.

Pretty good deal man. Consider some spacers after you get the tires on.

Thanks guys I am pretty excited about them. I really need to get some tires… I’m really impatient.

I do agree that the rim is not wide enough; however, I really like the look of them, and the price was right.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what kind / size spacers to use?
Also what size tires should I run on these?

*elite good deal on posting that pic... it really gives me a good idea of what I will be looking at (on a white SC though)

I appreciate the comments guys. I will post pictures of them on the car as soon as I get tires.

Chime in Elite.. my friend is running some 5mm on the GS factory rim....when you put them on. Do the 2.75 inch rule and you will have an idea on what size spacer to use.
