Question Is this good for SC400

I have never installed aftermarket wheels on my 93 sc 400. I want to replace my stock 16 inch wheels. Saw this in eBay. Its 20"x 9"all 4 will this fit my car? Any other suggestions for my wheel size and style. My budget is limited to about $750 for the wheels and tires.

yeah don't buy them. with your budget I'd get some GS or supra rims and call it a day
cheap rims are prone to numerous problems

Id say go for it, BLING BLING!, but remember, your going to spend just as much on tires, plus mounting and balancing. And get ready to feel the added weight. Its like running w/ ankle weights.

If you, and everyone else, listened to some of these guys, All of our cars would look the same. That sucks!

Agreed --to some extent.., I don't want anybodys sc looking like mine, however, I would hate to see another sc that has been poorly modified, and, imo 20" chrome cast wheels is a poor modification, especially on a stock bodied sc that is at stock ride height. Those wheels look more suitable on a hummer, not a sc. We can't tell you if they would fit properly without knowing offsets and/or tire sizes, and with a budget of $750, all people can advise you on is a nice set of oem wheels i.e. supra tt or gs, its not because we want all our cars looking the same, its just the best for you. Thanks mark btw, you going to lexfest?

Nah, the bad part about being married is that you also inherit the wife's family. Helping a cousin work on their new house. But I might make the Ding meet at Rising Sun's.

I agree that I wouldn't advise someone to make their car look like yours, but I think your car is a great example of overall look. Everyone will have their own preferences. If you want to rock 20's, do it! Me, it's not my style. I prefer the look of 18's with a nice drop.

Those are freakin H2 or Escalade styled wheels. U should either stay stock or go oem with GS or IS wheels. Stock SC wheels are better than those wheels. Ur Lexus deserves better

It looks nice but I wouldn't do it. 20's are just to heavy and the braking sucks. Tires cost a **** load of money also.
