Peter, the car looks great. That type of style looks great on the Benz- let's face it, they don't have 'pretty' brakes (except the AMG cars).

I sure like the European look of the silver/polished lip. No bling-bling look for guys like us... it's called CLASS!

Keep up the good work,
-Bob

Yeah, the 20x10 for the SC430 gets 3" on the lip. But, the lip is high polish

Peter, won't a 20x10.5 fit on the rear of a SC430 (I think that's what they have on the ACS website). If so, will you get the 4"+ lip that you have on your benz?

Alex, they only have the 3" outer barrel for 20", so no, the max you would get is 81mm for 20".

BTW, the SC430 will take up to an 11.0" wide wheel on the rear- this will require fender mods.

HRE makes a 4" outer lip in the 20" reverse rims... this would require axle stub mods on the SC430, however.

Hey Bob,

How "serious" of a mod is an axle stub mod that you mentioned. I am seriously considering the 20" R series with the 4" lip for my SC430. After modding the fenders, is there still any rubbing on dips or bumps when using an 20x11 rear wheel? I have 20x10's now with no mods and no rubbing.

Peter...hehehe...I think you know what I think about that setup! SICK!!!

Like Bob said, it's CLASS. Silver with a high polished lip IS THE WAY TO GO instead of chrome. CLASS all the way.

You know...gunmetal centers with a high polished lip would look great too...

Bob, how are my 543R's coming along? I have a feeling that someone else is going to get a set of 54xR's before me...that would suck major ***....

The car looks awesome. A lil too much lip in the rear for me, that is is me. Simply wonderful! I always loved the W210, what a car!

Too much lip?! Hahaha...NO WAY! That looks SICK!

Hmmm...4" lip on the SC would look nice...maybe those Deep Racing wheels are really calling my name...

Although I am not a fan of Mercedes, I must admit that this car looks SICK! Very tastefully done!
