The wheels look alright, but the little 20" logo has to go. It's too cheap looking for the SC

Not a big TIS fan at ALL, I think you can find something a little nicer for the SC. Just my .02

No need to break the bank either there are nice 20" chrome wheels for 1600.00 bucks out there, staggered and all.

TIS look way too ghetto for the SC430.

ghetto fab...but if that's your taste, to each his/her own.

I see these similiar type TIS rims on big trucks and SUV's.

But don't let others dictate your final decision on your own ideas and creativity. It's your car and you can do what the h-ll you want with it.

Just thinking that society has already labeled these as "Ghetto Fab" or any other street slang terminology.

Is that wrong or right to put such a piece of constructed metal rim on a vehicle?

It seems that the "look" or overall appearance of a vehichle w/ nice rims appeals to the naked eye. Of course, good quality constructed metal ensure the proper performance, safety and endurance of the vehicle as well.

So what if these TIS weren't "ghetto fab" and society has made the OK that these were appropriate for the car?

Should we all conform to the mainstream culture to which what society dictates as right or wrong?

just a thought.....

Good Luck...teeman3

A bit bling, but the curvature of the wheels should pair well with the curvature of the car.

Perhaps if you change the wheelcaps, and also do a different finish (black chrome, or get it looked polished instead)...
