For those who are interested:
Rotary Forged Flow Forming is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel. Our technological breakthroughs in heat treating allow us to increase dent resistance without having to make the wheel heavier.

That's some great shots, I'm inspired to purchase 20" rims and get some coil overs to slightly lower my stock SC430.
Any pictures of an SC430 without body kit and with 20" rims or even 19" rims without any bodykit?

Look at Icenpinki. 
It all depends on how far you're willing to take it (and how deep your pockets are of course). My offsets are set to the max with no rear modification to the metal. Only plastic. Fronts are rolled. Rears will get trimmed and fronts will get some pull when I burn through these tires for more stretch and spacers. Oh yeah.. and I still rub slightly. Texas dips are a killer.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running -2 degrees camber.

Thanks! You could always go more aggressive on offsets. Look at Icenpinki. It all depends on how far you're willing to take it (and how deep your pockets are of course).

Well I do have my fenders rolled and shaved. Maybe I'll go a bit more aggressive so it'll be super "flush".
