i will never understand why people change there 17's for other 17's. I know it is personal preference, but 17's. I have always thought the 17's never looked good on any tC, and that hasnt changed. Atleast 18's change the way a rim looks asthetically, and is matched with the size of our rides. 19's look really good, but therein lies the probs with cost/rubbing/ and other issues. Even though i am a fan of the 19" i am most likely going to get 18's again. the last 18's i had were Advans, albiet the price, they were way lighter than my stock 17's.
Not trying to rain on your parade here, and i know some get them due to the fact of the area they live in. I have known to many people who go through 17's like water and complain that they cant affoard 18's or 19's but fail to realize that they change rims every 1-2 years, and could have gotten a nice set of 18/19's instead.
Everytime i see a post of 17's i want to scream... the tC were built more for the tC 18's not 17's IMO.... and 19's if you like that...
Sorry just wanted to finally say something.. Not flaming.. they look great on paper, but once on the car its all down hill.. Plus most advertisements use the highest size and lowest offset for thier ads...just so that you know...

going any larger than 17's hurt gas mileage, not to mention heavier.
besides a tC dropped on the right 17's can look just as good as a dropped tC on 18's 18's DO look better tho.
The Enkei RPM 2's look nice.

Well after calling around the Enkei RPM2 are discontinued and I can't get them. So since that one is out I ordered the Enkei RSV in anthracite and as soon as i get them on the car i'll post up some pictures.
yeah I was going to go with a hyper black myself. But I've been looking at wheels for months and I still am having a hard time deciding what would look good on a RS3, since to me whatever I see on a SW doesn't look the same on the BP. The pearl just gives it a whole different look.
