Default Work, Blitz, or Auto Couture?

Which of the four rims do you think would look best on the SC400 coupe? Blitz Z1, Blitz Type 3, Work Equip, or Auto Couture Indicators? I'm looking at 19s or 20s (18s feel too small for my car), staggered (something like 8" by 9.5"), chrome or silver w/ polished lip finish. At this point I'm still shopping (and saving), so any other recommendations are welcome as well as blunt opinions. Is either wheel or brand a better value/better build?....

Hey Rich, you might want to wait and see what I'm doing to my SC4 in terms of wheels before you pull the trigger on one of the above...

I like the Equips... Nice and simple but very distinguished.. They'd look killer on your SC...

Wow, the overwhelming majority favor Equips! No love for the Blitz wheels? I think the Z1 looks bad ***, but maybe that's just me. I've seen them on Skylines, Supras, and the GS and they look great. Work Equip would probably be more feasible for me compared to AC since they are cheaper, easier to come by, and pure JDM. Manaray, stop teasing! What do you have up your sleeves? I heard you were trying to get rid of your SC?! :eek:

lex- I'd go with the AC's or equip's. I think the indicators are more rare. If you go with a straight lip on the equip's, you can get a deeper lip vs. the indicator's. You might also want to consider the DDC lip for these two wheels. Good luck!

Manaray- what are you hiding? Stop keeping us in suspense!

Termist TM1's are a nice wheel, I remember somebody here posting pictures of them on their pearl white SC coupe.
