View Full Version : tC wheels on xD?
SladeGT40 05-30-2008, 01:36 AM So i am getting to the point where i want to begin upgrades on my Magnetic Grey xD. i started with the rear spoiler and the premium headunit and with just over 5K miles (this afternoon on my drive home) i would like to add a rear sway, TRD spring and shocks and new wheels. i would like to explore putting the tC alloys. i like double spoke look and if they are available in 17's and if the lug pattern would be comparable for the xD and if it would fit, where can i find the rims.
please help so i can upgrade my baby and take some nice pics for all of you here.

SladeGT40 05-30-2008, 01:43 AM thanks for the quick help. anybody know of a reliable source for wheels? ive checked places like tirerack, but i couldn't find anything i liked.
RedLine_tC 05-30-2008, 01:43 AM yes they do...ur a scion dealership and u dont know that....
the xD is 5x100 and the tC is 5x100
doombugy 05-30-2008, 01:45 AM it may be an offset issue or something?
RedLine_tC 05-30-2008, 01:46 AM ppl have them on the the xD no issues that i have seen...i know 2 guys w/ the xD that have tC wheels and they fit fine
robbiej 05-30-2008, 01:52 AM yeah, I've seen several on the forums already with tC rims.
SchaumburgScionJT3 05-30-2008, 02:00 AM wow thanks. thank goodness ive only been workin at scion for about a month. still learning.how do they look with them on it? knwoing that now, i would think id see more people around here ,atleast a few with them on there xd

I would suggest looking at the tC forums to see if you like any wheel types you like. xDs and tCs can have the same wheels because of the bolt/lug pattern which is 5x100 :)
The stock tC alloys look decent on the xD but I would suggest getting different rims altogether :)

katchkillah 05-30-2008, 02:50 AM so how'd you get the back so low?
firstkingofbeer 05-30-2008, 02:54 AM lol helping a friend move. the backs weighted down pretty good. those are my i wish i had bags/ coilovers pictures.
robbiej 05-30-2008, 02:55 AM bags I'm guessing.
firstkingofbeer 05-30-2008, 03:00 AM nah no bags, wish but not going to happen where i live. the paved roads are worse than most dirt roads as far as potholes plus they cant level a road so you have manholes that stick up about 3-4inches above the road itself.
SchaumburgScionJT3 05-30-2008, 03:02 PM wow nice. hmm i guess people have some nice options. i asked my parts but they didnt tell me. how much are the tc alloys for all four?
xDevious 06-08-2008, 03:40 PM you can find them used for as low as $150. Try looking in the classified threads or on craigslist. I thought I was going to do the tc alloys on my xD, but I ended up getting a really great price on different rims (non scion) on craigslist. Took me almost 5 months to find what I wanted, but it was worth the wait!
No pics of them on the car yet btw, will be up in a few weeks :P
there are hella more xD pics on www.cafexd.com
