I know where these rims can be had for about $500 a set brand new in the box (19's), so if one does purchase and damage one, replacing it is far from a big deal. Probably around $125 per wheel or so at the most.

OP, if that's in your budget then I'd say get gold....but personally I'd go with some TT wheels and spacers before these SportMax rims. I don't like all those lug holes or this particular shade of gold. What is good about these wheels is the offset (35mm I believe, they should fit pretty flush on the SC) and the fact that they clear BBK. If this is what you want then good luck.

i had these rims on my 240sx they arent of the highest quality but they look great ... you just need to keep them clean or over time the lip will tarnish but a coat of wax helps alot... heres a pic......... i suggest gold on ur car it would look great specially in 19s

also you will need a spacer to make them look good since the offset is 35 all the way around i think ... im not sure its been a while

Yes, you cant beat the price. But I wouldnt get either. If I did, I would opt for the gun metal ones.

lol, I see what you're getting at but I don't view the SC as the "Armani" of cars.

Why the multiple use of the thumbs down?

i like em and i think you should get em in gold.
the gunmetal is slick as well but wont be as eye catching.
i've never been one to dismiss a set of rims because they dont say enkei or 5zigen or whatever on the side. I feel more for the design.
get em, use em, abuse em even, then trade up when your pocket allows.
hell if its cheap enough then why not.

and for those who want chrome rims
DONT DO IT!!! My chrome rims will not freaking hold air for more than a month a a time before i have to go get them resealed blah blah blah. they just plain are teh suck
