Hello everyone! I just switched the rims on my SC400 back to the stock set because I didn't have $1200 to buy new tires for the 20's I put on the car when I bought it due to my current financial situation..don't ask. I was thinking about just saving my money and buying a set of 18's eventually. I really like the deep 'lip' look and was thinking of going with a staggerd setup. Anyone have any suggestions?

I was thinking around $2500 for just the rims.. I like the deep dish style, and really have no preference for spokes..

"Given your current financial situation," wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a set of $1200 20" tires in a few months instead of spending $2500 on some 18" wheels PLUS the cost of tires? Just a suggestion...
