Default Sc430 wheels with 32mm spacers

I've seen sc400/300 on sc430 wheels before but never seen them pushed out with spacers and tucked. So I tried it out and here's the outcome:





Could be pushed out a little more but looks a lot better then without spacers

Wow I hate those particular wheels but I have to say they look great with the spacers.

I've always liked the sc430 pie plates, they look even better with spacers! Nice.

looks pretty good. Its harder to find but they make a replacement center cap for those wheels that turn them from pie's to 5 spoke wheels. sounds crazy but its a real thing, if you can find a set they make the wheels look 1000x times better. check out this old for sale thread. they have some for sale on ebay for much better prices also.

I have the caps Ali is referring to on my winter setup. They are great. The wheels also look sportier without caps.

I don't care for those wheels but have to admit that they look nice with your setup!

I never knew an alternative center cap existed. I always wondered about those 5 spoke wheels because they look so similar to the dish wheels.

Nice man I like how those wheels look with spacers! Btw, how much camber are you running up in the front and are you using any kits or anything?

Yes, SC's come with an old school motorized whip antenna. That may be from an S2000. Looks great!

I like it! gives it a very futuristic look. it appears a camber adjustment might flush it if you dont mind loosing some of that wheel aggression.ha. but id leave it, it looks good in my book.
