Default New Wheels for my SC430

Hello all,

I have a beautiful 2002 SC430 and I want to put on a nice set of wheels on it. The factory wheels are nice, but I want to add a personal style to it, and would use the OEMs as winter wheels. The car is silver and I am looking for a set that will look good but not gaudy. I am open to all suggestions and possibly websites if you are able to provide them.

I usually search on Tirerack, but I hate how all the wheels look when I do the "view on car" option. Just doesnt give me a good visual of how it would actually look.

Thank you all!

I think that View on Car tool is pretty bad. I have never seen a good looking wheel on that utility.

TireRack does sell American Racing wheels too.

Search Google for "Wheel Visualizer." There are quite a few good ones out there. I used Performance Plus http://www.performanceplustire.com/ before deciding to go with 20" Staggered Roderick RW2 Cinque Black Machine Faced with Stainless Chrome Lip. I tried to load it but I think they may have changed their interface but still should give you a good idea of what you're looking for. If they don't load, try opening the same link in Internet Explorer. I found they load better that way.

I personally like the TSW Snetterton's, but I'm just a bit apprehensive on the quality of TSW.

I wouldn't buy a wheel that doesn't have TUV approval even though I live in the USA. TUV has very rigorous standards because of the high speed roads that exist in Europe. TSW has some approved wheels. http://www.tsw.com/alloy-wheels-pres...-1-29-2013.php

What's your budget? What size are you looking for?
