Please don't "DUB" out the SC430. It deserves better!

If you are willing to drop your SC and put some nice body kit on, then 21" is the extreme imho.
BBK is a must now because you will face the risk of brake failure.

21"


22" will be very difficult to look right on sc, but maybe you can make it look nice by lowering and adding some aero kit.
I actually like the asanti wheel style, not the size.


22"

my guess is they'll look a little weird. you're probably begging for a bent wheel.

Definitely.
21" is already a little out of proportion by my book even you have some wide body kit on the sc430.

22's are huge! I think anything bigger than 20's is too much.. Unless like talwang said..you are willing to drop it and add some kit to it so it doesnt look like you are about to go offroading..

I agree with Tal. 22" is too much. Even with a body kit, I don't think it would even look nice. Try to picture that white SC from Tal's picture with a body kit. Ew? As what Shern said, "please don't DUB out the SC430" lol!

It'll look like an SC4x4
And like Jason said, you'll bend 'em real quick, plus you're speedo will read 40 when you're doing 90.... or is it vice-versa Anyhow, you get the idea....

technically, even 20s are dubs. it's short for double ten. but yeah, 22s will make it look retarded.

On another car I had 22's. In 12 months I bent 3 rims, one I had to buy a brand new replacement as it was so bad, the other one I was able to get repaired.

The third time I bought a set of 19's instead. Their sitting in my garage still need to get that last one fixed and sold.
