Just took this from from the bedroom door to the pool area.

Bgw,
Being your in Florida I highly recommend Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. I have these on my 2008 SC430. They ride great, have good wet traction and are quiet and Smooooooth. They are also not directional so you can cross them when you rotate.
I had ContinentalExtremeContact DWS(Ultra High Performance All-Season) on my 2007. They are directional so when rotating you must keep them on the same side of the car. They also flat spotted if the car sat for two days or more. It had horrible wheel shaking for up to 5 miles until the tire got warm enough to became round again.
BTW, the Tourmalines are great. I had them on my wife's silver 2007 SC430. I traded that car in on a New Ford pickup. I didn't have time to swap them with my OEM rims on the 2009 SC430.

[QUOTE=tennman117;8936873]Here you go.
Mine would look like tennman's. Although, it hasn't been a real nasty winter here in the true North. Sure beats the heck out of the Northeastern States.
So...heading to Scottsdale in about 4 hours and maybe when I get back Spring will have arrived and the car cover can come off.

Nice. Can you post more pics of your ride from a distance. I want to see how it looks with the spacers far away. The only reason I don't want the oem wheels are because of the nasty gap at the wheel base, but yours look nice

Yes, when it warms up.
Thanks for noticing the 25mm (1") hubcentric spacers I installed on the rear of my SC. So far, this photo is only one I've taken since installation. I'll take some more photos from different angles when it warms up and the snow melts away.
