Default Help with Wheels

I would like to see my car with 18" Racing Hart C4's (silver finish). Do you know of a white SC3 or SC4 with this set-up? You can see my ride in the SC300/400 Gallery. I posted a thread in the photoshop forum as well. I have been racking my brain with the "what wheels to buy" question. Any suggestions or pictures would be appreciated. Thank you for your help.

The vast majority of CL would tell you to get 19 inch rims. I would just tell you to use your imagination and go from there. I think it would look ok, but like most of the rest of CL, I like 19's.

Here's quikturbo's beautiful car. The wheels are kind-of similar (at least they are mesh style) on a pearl white 97 body style'd SC.

Yeah that's one nice SC..I want to know if those are 18's or 19's as well. Would the ride be harsher if you use 19's on Tein CS?

I want the 18's because I put about 80 miles/ day on my car. However, I agree! 19's would look Sick! Can you tell me what the tread-life is for the average 18 vs. the average 19? Thank you to those that replied.

I would like my car to sit like the Pic of the Black SC that JamesN has posted. That is the look that I am after. Any word about the HP wheels?!?

I got about 6 months out of my 18's for the front... the camber just kills them plus raced on those tires about 5 or 6 times as well. The rears usually only last me one or two races but the longest the rears have lasted me was 3 months. As long as you don't have crazy camber in front and rear and you don't abuse them too badly, they should last you at least 6 months or so...

Depending on where you are, 17s may also be good alternatives if you do a lot of driving.

I personally like the GS400 rims a lot. But, that's just me.
