Mods.... if this is in the wrong place i apologize... but i am looking for pics on the SC specifically



I can't decide on 18's or 19's... so i'm asking for pics on a white SC with 18' rims and another with 19" rims

and yes the color does make a difference... but not necessary... I'll work with what i've got

lastly... if anyone has pics of a white SC with gold rims.....

thanks

White with gold 18s...



Can't tell if these are 19s or 20s, but you get the point...

What is that kit on the first white SC ?
It isn't AC, phenix, vertex, jic, bomex, what is it
The white with the Gold rims IMO looks really good, about the only color that can pull off the gold.

wow... that was quick... which is precisely why i wanted to post this thread here instead of the tire rack forum..

thanks guys...

i guess it really depends on what kind of rims you get if you go 18's.... some look too small and some look just right (ie the works gold rims look good in 18's)

what do you guys think about the gram light pros in gold in 18's? or the SSR professor custom gold? think those would look too small or think i'd have to go 19s?

just remember that when u go 19's, the tires are a lot more expensive and the rims bend easier. It also slows down your car by A LOT. you will notice a big diff from the stock rims. 19's are pimp.. enough said

certain rims look better at certain sizes for example if you look at a volk gtc in 19's, it looks a lot better than the volk gtc in 18's. the lip is deeper and the rim just looks better overal.
