Wheels look nice... SSR's are well built. I don't know if they will look great on a SC...but to each their own.
The 45offset will fit fine but the rears will tuck in about 25mm from the outside lip of the fender. That may give it an odd look.
Finally, the tires are probably the weak point of the deal.
With that said, $375 a corner isn't too bad

An SC is kind of classy, those wheels arent. They look like they are the set of wheels that get passed from one honda to the next. Sorry, it is just my opinion, you asked for it.

If you're talking about Strusse SSRs
If you're talking strusse SSR's they are WELL worth it.
I own 18 X 9 in the front and 18X9.5 in teh back w/deep dish offsets.
Sets the car off NICELY.
ALso...in aluminum finish. NOt quite chrome but close.

i still don't see what's wrong with those ssr's, man...i still see those rims on really nice cars...NSX, etc...
anyways, how about these, chairman? Volk SE37a's for only $1700! I would have gotten these if they popped up when i was shopping for wheels.
