I like the last pic.

The GS wheels are nice too but just aren't as nice. IS wheels are too narrow. I'm not real crazy about the first two.

The stock wheels you chopped on there are not that big. You chopped them out of scale. The LS ones are 16 inches. lol so they won't look anything like that. You need 19" minimum to get that look.

As for the Wald kit, beware. I have it, and it doesn't fit. I had to cut, reposition, refiberglass and bondo up several areas... Just a warning. I see you are international - maybe it fits the Soarers better but I have no idea. All I know is I had headaches.

Good luck!

Audi wont fit (I believe they are 5X112 or 5X120) while the Lexus is 5X114... The rest of the wheels wont look like that on the car- since they will be 17's and the photoshopped wheels all appear to be bigger than 17's. I would recomend the Wald Wheels originally on the car- or perhaps one of the flat face dish wheels from Amistad. (they are having a great deal on amistad wheels right now in the Vendors Marketplace Forum, and they do have a wheel very similar to the wald wheel.

Give the 18" SC430 wheels a shot, they look good on a black car.

i'm with goldark.

those rims on the sc and wald kit don't look that good...not even the gs wheels. maybe if they had black centers or were chrome it would look good.

In my opinion, none of those choices are good. They're all too small. Need at least 19's for the SC. You can get away with 18's with a generous drop. I say save your money, get something that will enhance the appearance...not take away from it.

I don't know
I wouldn't do 19s unless I had a body kit that / sideskirts
Otherwise it won't look good on a stock bodied SC

While not as nice as a kitted SC, 19's on a stock body still do work.
