what are the cheapest 19-20" wheels you would buy for your sc430 in chrome that are not knock-offs?

what do you guys think about the 19" OZ Antares?
how bout the Neeper Daag?

i dont know. wheels cost so much i dont know if i want to spend 6-7g's on wheels and i really dont like the looks of the stock ones. I also dont want 18's(unless the stock ones look nice). Man, why do wheels cost so much?

my car is black on black. i was looking thru various websites... like
wheelsbotique and superbuytires and the wheels that i like are the autocotures. the superbuytires website also has a few pics of sc's. i noticed most of the nicer rims that are not knockoffs are approx 1000$ each like the lowenharts and brands like those. What other brands should i consider getting? i wouldnt like to save 1 or 2 hundred dollars to buy something cheaper...but if its like 400$ cheaper and is not a knockoff and is brand name then i would consider. help? and is just lowering the car with springs any good? thanks.

p.h.

i will get back to your questions on the wheels a bit later today.

as far as lowering, if budget, get the springs and shocks done at the same time. springs along is fine..but doing them together will give you max performance and save you extra install should you need the shocks later

You can find 19" wheels for $600-$700 in chrome (some brands)...20's aren't much more...hell, Mo at SRT can get you 3-piece Forged HRE's for less than $1000/wheel in 20"...

I wouldn't put Anteras on a SC and I DEFINTTELY wouldn't put anything by Neeper on a SC...I would also recommend 20's for the SC as the wheel wheels are rather large and 20's look "just right"...I would only go with 19's if the streets you drive have bad roads...

Also consider weight...19" or 20" cast wheels will add a lot of weight and will really affect accleration and braking...lighter forged wheels will lessen the effect....

Black on Black...nice choice!

AutoCouture just came out with a new wheel...I'll post it tommorow...looks nice on a SC430! (I have pictures with them on a Black SC430 too)

Here's a pic of my Black on Black with chrome 5 stars - split spoke(O.Z.'s) 17", but I am pissed I didn't do 18".

I don't recall what the Antares look like post a pic if you can.
