Default New Wheels

Hi guys,

I need some advice please and motivation to go forward with my sc430. I have been trying to sell it for a while but I think I need to give that up and buy more parts for it. I thought I might be better off in a m3 but I just cant get enough cash for the sc430 to make the trade fair for me. If I could get about $35 grand I would probably take it but I think I may be out of luck.

The only way to renew my love for my sc430 will be to start with new wheels. I have a budget of about $3000 for new wheels and I have always liked iforged.

Does anyone think black with a polished lip would look hard on an indigo sc430? Or, should I just get polished all over? I was thinking of these wheels, any votes? Thanks, Mike

Mike I'd go for one of the Racing Series models, a little less expensive

Thanks Seize! You da man! From those pics I can already tell I like the aeros (the first one) the best which was my original choice anyways. Now I just have to decide what finish and 19 or 20 inch. I think 19's might be the way for me to go since I think my 20" Brabus seem too big.

I dont think the racing series is for me but thanks for looking out for me. I will be calling you soon!

Wow Sieze, you are the best when it comes to photoshopping. Those silver SC chops look like the real thing! Keep up the great work. Btw, the first two sets of wheels are the best in my opinion.

Thanks guys!

If I had to choose, it'd be between the Retros and the Aeros in brushed finish. I'd probably end up with the Aeros in the end, can't go wrong with a clean looking 5 spoke.

What is you guys' opinion of just going for 19's? Does it really look too small in person?
