Haha...I understand its not everyone's taste but I absolutely love them. Every SC is different and unique and different size rims look better on others but for me this is what I wanted. I still appreciate the comment

Thanks Kira X I was going 20s the whole time. No sense in getting 19s when the tires are more expensive for them anyway and I wanted to either go big or not go at all.

Haha....Matt and I were just talking about that right now when I went to see him. Believe me that will be the last time I ever do that


Car looks awesome Eric. I was glad to help..Have to admit however when I saw your factory inner fender lip I was a little nervous .But as you said it all worked out for the best
Appreciate the kind words John I still can't thank you enough for all your help. Believe me I was very nervous as well when I saw the car lifted up and the rims were going on. I was like, "Man thats not going to clear."

I leave it in the hands of the expert to come through as always. It definitely worked out and I am very pleased with the results

That makes sense. I've always heard that 19" tires were more expensive than 18"s or 20"s.

Thanks jadu I have honestly had like 2 weeks of hell at school but I'm slowly starting to come out of it. By next tuesday I will be ten times happier

I think the fitment is just where I wanted it so I am very pleased. Matt is already telling me to shave the fenders and get it really flush....haha.

Thank you very much for the comment I honestly really liked the IS wheels as a stock look for the car. To me it still is one of the best stock rims out there for 18s. Now this is a whole other story but I'm soooo happy with the way they look on the car

Yea its pretty stupid to me but hey it is what it is. Cost more to have less rubber on your car....go figure

Those rims are so nice.. Makes me want 20's. I wanted 20's bad, but all the styles that I saw I didnt like and looked too bigggg.. But then I saw this.. Looks good man.

Well worth the drive down!

Thanks for the comment I think with 20s the style of the rims is very important. There are many out there that are not so great looking and the ones that do are very expensive. I was fortunate enough to find these thanks to John.

Also I have seen 20s on alot of SC's and my conclusion is they are not so good for a stock 92-96 body, better looking on a 97+ body, and perfect for a kitted SC. Hopefully I will get a front lip sometime in the near future to fix the front a little.
