Default GS400 wheels on my SC...

Swapped out stock wheel/tire set with my buddy who gave me his 17's off his GS....not bad, whatcha guys think? Anyone know the weight of these things off hand? I'd eventually like to go with some 18" HP Evo's or similar.....HRE's maybe.

Thanks Reggie. I actually do some automotive and motorsports photography. I took this shot out at the Bondurant School, right at sunset. Car was super clean, and the track was clear, so I went out for a while and shot.

Some collage pics on my My Space site here.

That looks great!

That's not stock suspension is it? Do those bolt right on..no change on offset? Also, what mufflers do you have?

Thanks

Looks good. I have the same wheels (not chrome though) on my Black Onyx 1995 SC400.
