Question Riverside Trafficstar Wheels on SC........

Hey everyone i'm a new user here but not really and well i wanted to quickly say first how good to me this community has been while i lurk often, you guys rock

So last week i got a good deal on some wheels but haven't bought them yet and they are

Riverside Trafficstar EXE2 / Altstadt EXE
19x9 +26, approx. 13.2kgs, 2.75" lip
19x10 +35, approx. 13.6kgs, 3.25" lip

This is the first time i have an issue deciding on rims and here's for you to see why








Now here is my SC its a 97' 5 speed been just over a year since i've had it and i couldn't be happier with this lady.





Now i have had 3 no no's thrown at me on this set and i think its time for you guys to make me a decision. OK i do think the wheels look complex in a way but i'm in it for the dish that's what got me hooked and i may have jumped on it too soon. Since there aren't many images to go by online i don't know exactly how would they look like on an SC or would these absolutely ruin the car? Would be nice to see a photoshop.

Didn't feel like putting brakes on it but you get the point.

IMO, not a fan of the way it changed the look of the car, i prefer your current wheels.

Everyone has different preferences, if you like it go for it.

Thanks for the input guys i scrapped that idea already the wheels really ruined the fun for me i kept asking myself what was i thinking, really. Next i'm shooting for some Weds just waiting for my guy to reply back with the deal, drop black leather racing seats that i have laying around in to replace the faded/torn stocks touch up the interior some and do a little photoshoot when it gets nice out here in Chicago....

Trafficstar wheels are built with quality but I usually see them on VIP platforms. I think they look decent but I don't know how much you're paying to compare with other designs.

It does and it really does. I think its pretty sweet i found this one rare like that in Illinois i was leaning towards the 97+ body style strictly also this is my first rear wheel drive platform and my 2nd car.

The DTMs seem nicer to me, i like them. The EXEs would probably look fit on an SUV and no more than that because of its complex design, i just don't have any imagination.

So might as well provide an update now that things are coming along smooth i have gotten the new wheels reserved from my seller and it is a set of Weds Kranze LXZ 19". They will be shipped out overseas in a few weeks it will take some time but surely it will be worth the wait.
