The SC430 wheels have a "technical" look to them...brings to mind the old school Transformers...in a good way.

Car looks good, LPYang, but then again, yours always has.

normally i HATE the 2nd gen SC wheels ESPECIALLY with the pie-plate lug covers but for some reason it flows VERY well with ur car, prolly due to the coloring and hte fact taht ur front lip seems a little bit darker than the rest of the car

Wow, that's really cool lookin' I thought for sure those would look terrible, but it goes pretty well with yours.

EDIT- Hey, where can I pick up some 20mm spacers? Local wheels shop?

The rims look good on the car, but I just never liked them...

As for your new rims... go AME Shallen AX... they look awesome!

I like the look of the wheels. There is a guy locally where I live that has them but yours looks better with the white exterior. The wholecar is looking seriously good bro
