Default XXR 531s on a 2010...

Not quite yet don't get too exited...

I think i'm all set on those wheels..

They seem like a good choice with great wheels.. I have been wanting a set of CE28ns but the high price and wait put me off until now..

I've always had a thing for the CCW on the Supra's which got me picturing them on the SC.

My SC is not a race car, i believe the CCW Clones (XXRs) would serve the purpose and are available in the size and offset to fit well

19x8.5 15mm Front; 19x10 35mm Rear.

Will cost below $700 shipped.

Your Thoughts, and any photoshop pros here to anticipate what the finished product would look like

They'll look good...here's a quick chop.

Your actual wheels will most likely have more lip in the rear.

I really like them a lot! I'm looking at something similar too, but in black with either a chrome or polished lip. Looks great!

Looks good, but XXR is not quality wheel. Just being devil's advocate here. I would invest in better wheels/tires.

Mine are a similar style and the same size.
Gives you an idea of the larger lip on the rears.

Cheers
Steve

True....I always advise friends to save up and get the real deal.

JZWU & Mr. Mark - Totally agree with you and no you are not the devil's advocate. This is indeed the fact of the matter but these are my reasons of justification:-
1. The SC is no race car and it's usually driven abiding to the traffic rules and regulations.
2. Roads in qatar are absolutely garbage.. I don't think any wheel will take the potholes they are to be faced with.
3. I've been reading good reviews about XXR products, I don't think I will face any issues.

Lastly, all 4 cost less than 1 CE28 and look fabulous as we saw thanks to TUTERZ.

Steve what are the specs on your wheels.. im really worried I mess up on offsets

19 in wheels may cause balancing problems.

The stock 18 in will also help dealing with the bad roads there.

Now you officially are working with the devil against my ambitions haha...

Balancing problems? Would you care to elaborate because this is not the first time i've heard of issues on the SC with oversized tires.

I actually really like the 2010 SC's stock wheels but the Offset is off a school bus not a touring convertible!
