Was that considered an insult?

I can understand the appeal. Nice ride. They are a classic design at a fraction of the price of high end wheels. Please add some big spacers espececially in the front

thanks i thought the same thing. I wanted to replace the chrome 18" wheels that were on the car when i got it. i do agree on the spacers. i asked the place i got them to get me 30 offset all the way around but they said that they could only order the standard offset whatever that is.

i traded the wheels that i had on the car plus 1900 dollars so i couldnt really go wrong here.

these are great for me for now just for the reason that i can use them and not worry about abusing them. after i finish the other mods i want to do i can order something really nice and sell these and probably get most of my money out of them.

yes, you need spacers bad, those offsets aren't for the sc430

Actually they fit pretty well and there is no rubbing. even though its pretty slammed.

They were ordered for this car so they offset is correct. it just doesnt have the VIP "look". but thats ok for me i will get a small spacer and see if it doesnt rub.

Nice wheels! your car is looking good. Its off topic, but whats the ride quality like on your JIC's, and are they silent in their operation? The reason I ask as I am considering buying the same set up. My old JIC's were really harsh and noisy, hopefully yours are not like that!

You know i was very concerned with the stiffness of the front when i first put them on. funny enough when i stiffened the dampening up to about half way they got smoother.

dont get me wrong they are still very stiff.

i actually am in conversation with the guys at JIC to take my car over there and let them make the needed adjustments to make everything perfect.

so far no squeeking though. pretty quiet. i do hear the rear springs on driveways though. but its not annoying.

That's a nice watch and the cell phone is alright too although I couldn't see it because an annoying radiant shine from some circular object with rubber around it.
