Default Looking for a certain wheel

Hi, this is my first post on this Forum. I am the original owner of a 2002 SC430 which has 15,000 original miles on it. She will be 8 years old in June and I want to buy her a birthday present. A new set of wheels. She has the original wheels but I had them chromed when I got delivery, could not stand the look of the original wheel.

I saw a wheel that I really liked in 2002 when I bought the car but since I paid cash, did not want to go the extra mile for the wheels. A "car guy" friend of mine saw the wheel and he took a picture off of this Forum showing the wheel on a black SC430.

I am going to post the picture here and maybe the owner will see it and can give me some information.

that looks like a vossen wheel. not sure if they still make that exact style, but you'll find similar wheels on their site.

Welcome, sorry it took so long to find us. Such high miles on your 02. lol. I bet most of those miles are with the top down. Hope you keep finding this forum helpful, I know I am. These members are the greatest.

But Eddy, of course with the top down, this is a California car. In my opinion this is not a car you drive every day, I have mini van for every day. I have told everyone I want to be buried in my SC430.

The color is Absolutely Red and there is no way you can be down or depressed when driving that car with the top down or even up.

I am 75, so I got her when I was 67 and I still get thumbs up from people and when I park her and come back I see people admiring her. It's the color.

My license plate frame says, as my signature, "I may be old but I refuse to grow up" and my license plate is EGO TRP.
