I think a set of 18x9 and 18x10" Rays GTS (silver finish) with a nice drop would look hot

I've decided to go with 19" wheels on my SC; most likely a mesh style.

Where is the best place to find used wheels that fit the SC? I don't see many for sale on this forum.

Will most 19" wheels applications for the Supra be a direct fit on our cars? What other Japanese models share our 60.1mm centerbore that utilize similar widths and offsets?

Thanks.

Update: After looking at the exact color and a few pics posted and linked to, I think polished wheels would look nice, or if you prefer, chrome.

How much are replicas? Are they staggered, say 19x 8.5 and 19 x 10 with correct offset for cars?

Thanks.

Around $1000-1500, give or take, depending on if they're with tires or not, used or new. I'm really set on the LM design, though. The lip is so thick and shiny. The spokes almost form perfect rectangles (if you look at it for too long like me) and the spokes kind of shoot out from the center, kind of like how a sun is drawn; it's not just a circular center and then spokes. I also like the similar BBS RS design. I wish I could just test fit some of these kinds of wheels on my car to see what they would look like. I just don't have access to any or even know where any are locally...yet.

Check out the eBay seller, jdmautohouse here: http://stores.ebay.com/jdmautohouse. The seller has a lot of nice wheels that are 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a lot have good offsets (+38 and above).

I also want to add that I have never seen a pic of an SC with BBS LM wheels, only the many replicas. The closest thing I've seen was BBS RS wheels on an SC. If I ever got BBS wheels, I would want the center caps to be polished or silver, etc., not the default black. One good thing about getting some used wheels (BBS or others) is that I wouldn't have to be so protective of scratches, etc.

Good luck with the 19's....its not enough tire for me to drive on the low quality Ohio roads so i went with 18's and an aggressive suspension. But black sure does look good on Silverspruce...trust me

i dont know if im alone on this, but maybe a gunmetal/charcoal grey wheel will look cool, staggered of course with lips... i would suggest the WORK VS-XX i believe they are, mesh style, but i think those would look sporty more than anything...

Thanks!

I found a pic of an SC with 19" Work VS-XX (not with Silver Spruce, though, sorry):

I've been kind of getting into those CCW Classics lately. I think the lip is even thicker than the BBS LMs.

These look great. I agree the CCWs look very nice on our cars. Have you seen used ones for sale by chance? Thanks.

What do you guys think about the 19" wheels that are on the 2007 Infiniti G37S Coupe? These look a lot like a modern 19" version of the SC400's OEM 16" wheels.

Does anyone make a similar looking wheel for the SC400?
