I'll do some research into Sportmax durability..however

They aren't forged, and I don't plan on paying for that premium either.

All aluminum alloy wheels are susceptible to bends from potholes.

 

please dont consider sportmax, they are cheap knockoff copies :thumbdown:

support good wheel brands with your moola

 

Sorry if I'm coming across as a SportMax hater. SportMax wheels serve a purpose, but I don't think they should be used on a car as heavy as the SC. I think money spent on better good wheels (even if it's a little more) is money spent more wisely.

 

17s dont have the "looks" but they serve a purpose and are much better for lighter, track oriented cars. 18s would be the perfect balance between the two categories.

 

If had to get 17's they would be sunkface 17x10's all around with about +25 offset

just my opinion

 

19s ftw

 

Those look very nice. Did you have to do fender mods?

 

where did you get the ssr professor's from and how much was total???
i would love to buy a set for my sc300

 

about double what your paying for the sportmax's, came with tires too

Just gotta hunt for them. I found them on g35driver and locally too. Took me 3 months to find a nice set.

I had 19's and thought they looked HUGE. But, that is probably more due to my personal tastes than the personal tastes of the masses. At the moment, I am completely satisfied with my Supra TT wheels. I suppose the car looks great -even though they TT wheels are 17"- since the wheels are obviously of an OEM variety.

If you go aftermarket, for style purposes, 18"+ is the way to go for sure. A luxury coupe deserves some stylich wheels. Sportmax wheels may look good, but don't expect any impressive durability or sporty handling from their poor casting methods. But, if you can avoid the pot holes and don't mind just cruising, they are a decent set of wheels for the price.

 

i know a chick that has a 95 sc300 5sp. sandstone baige on tan. slammed on stances and sportmax 502 wheels. 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 +35 all around in hyperblack. the car is ****. the wheels look amazing and surprisingly they are pretty flush. maybe a small spacer in the rear. none up front needed.

hate on those wheels all you want. i like quality brands too but for college kids that want to go out and beat the crap out of their car driftin i would do it on a 4000 set of work wheels. thats almost the price of my car

thats why i bought some 15" SSR reverse mesh wheels to throw on my car when i go drifting. the width is good and if i screw up the wheel its not a big loss since i paid 100 bucks for them

the only reason i hate on 19's is the cost of tires. 17 are dirt cheap and 18's are good price. 19's are through the roof though. i had a chance to buy some SSR D5R's. they were 19x9.5+35 for 350 for 4 wheels. the only reason i didnt buy them is the cost of tires. now that i think about it i should have bought them and resold the siht out of them

 

I found a set of 18x8 front and 18x9 rear +20 all the way around.

Would these fit ok??

Thanks!

 

yes should be fine with a roll

 

Nothing wrong with Sportmax's quality. They manufacture a lot of wheels for Toyota North America.

 

I thought I was the only one that thought 18'z look a bit small on my car..19'z seem about right but are 20'z too big?
