Talking Help with Rims - please

hey all,

I joined this forum some time back; but never really did much posting - my bad on that. Anyway, I'm entertaining the notion of putting get the Auto Couture - body kit (minus the crazy hood ) for my 97 SC400.

That being said, I like the look of really deep lipped rims, I'm thinking 19x9.5f and 19x10r - any suggestions for rims of that style and size?

If you want deep looking lip, it will depend on your wheels offset. Get a lower offset to get more lip action.

Mongol, would your offsets accomodate a big brake setup?
