Alright, i will pull the fender liner and keep the splash guards in. Thanks for all the help guys.

I'm loving these wheels more every day.

Wheel specs?

18x8.5 +30 front (soon to be +15)
18x9 +24 rear

maxed out on B&G coilovers...no fender liners or guards removed, fenders only rolled and pulled a bit.

I'm loving these wheels more every day.

then you grow to hate them, and wonder everyday why you bought them in the first place :D.

^ lol.... Ive been thinkin about selling mine already. Im ticklin the idea of getting those te37's that other dude is sellin on here!

Your talking about the te37 that are white? That's the only person I know who has them on I believe it's stinkysab or something like that, that would look nice white on white but you just got your rims and there very sexy I would stick wiith the rpf1 but I mean if it isn't what you really want then your always gonna b unhappy until you get what you really want

^ The white ones? Those are hot. However, I'm very happy with these wheels. Not only are they RPF1s, which I freaking love, but they're a custom color and sizing for our bolt pattern.

very true... but the te37 is my all time fav wheel. I think I'll b satisfied once I have a week to spare to get these powder coated

Te37 (concave) in 5x100 bolt pattern only comes once in a blue moon.

Whoring before they are gone.

Omgz, lol, this thread makes me want to get a tc for my own instead of our families xb xD.
Did anyone notice any mpg increases or decreases when switched to their rpf1s?

please dont tell me those are volk stickers

Lol those are TEs.

Those are the real deal. Get that alot.

What's the point of buying legit TE's anymore?...half of the people always seem to doubt the legitness anyway...waste of money.

This is a broke college kids view point, not a 30 something big ballin with a house and two car garage.

Rotas FTW.

^Disagree. I'd rock legit wheels in a heartbeat.

id only buy legit wheels if i had the money to blow. im more for looks rather than brand name.

Same here....but if people are going to assume they are Rotas eff that. I'll just buy Rotas for my daily roller.

Don't get me wrong if a pile of Work boxes where piled on my door step, I'd have a raging boner.

hahahaha. ^ agreeeeed

LOL they should make the Work stamp stay in place while you drive.

"Check THAT STAMP FOOL!!!!!"

Why buy te37s? The same can be said for anything. Why buy Nike? Why buy Louis vuiton? Why buy lambo? etc...

I wanted them because they are my favorite wheels. Maybe a stupid reason to buy them, but i love them. :)

It's totally worth it when they assume your stuff is fake, then finding out that its real and saying "Holy ____!" hahaha

anyone else see this tc2 on s:n?

http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt198/Chri_023/b29f0823.jpg

^Nope, but def needs to be lower, that wheel gap is not helping the look.

def needs lower. its got potential though, they are growing on me. i hated them at first.

The little changes they did(more like remove) has left me a bit disappointed with the tC2. I would have thought someone would be on some baller and aggressive wheels on the tC2 as I've seen plenty in the used market online. Oh well, there still hasn't been a coilover setup released to pull the look off yet, so it's a waiting game for now for tC2 owners.

the Tc2's look nice, i don't like the steering wheel though, it seems huge in my opinion. lol

what are the specs on those?
looks pretty aggressive, especially for FWD sizing.

They are 18x9.5 +22 all around.

I dont think anyone would rock te37s sticker on reps.

There's been posts on here, one guy on his build thread got called out about it, and was not a good few days for him forum-wise.

Varrstoens, I believe.

If you have reps, just leave them as reps. Dont try to pretend to have "real wheels." Thats just me though.

I think that why i just assumed they were knock offs.
Everytime ive seen TE's on a tC its been in pretty horrible sizing.

And as far as the knock off vs real debate.
People buy real deal stuff because its proven to be stronger and they like supporting companies that support the "scene" back.

Without the OG companies Rota and all those other companies wouldnt even have any styles to copy off of.

But i guess now days its just about creating a trendy car as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Holy fk. I cant tell the difference between those and the te37. You sure they are fake?

^Yea I agree. I mean I wish I could afford some real Works but reality is I can't being a college student. So I have torques but I'm definitely not going to throw Work stickers on them.

Nothing wrong with reps. But rocking reps as if they are real with stickers and centercaps, and calling them real, not okay.

However that tC2 does it for me. Potential.

http://www.fakewheels.com/images/vork1.jpg

Isnt varrstoens violating federal copyright laws? Thats the same exact look as te37s.

The car was posted on Stancenation.com FB page. Like hoodie showed, the black TE37s have the red pin on them. I think he just got the Varrstoens and threw the Volk stickers on them.

Unless he got them and powder coated them black along with the center caps.

You can obviously tell the one that hoodie showed is a replica. But the varrstoen...:ponder:

couldn't have said it any better

couldn't have said it any better

and for a DD, what's wrong with that? this debate has been had over and over again. as for me, i don't see the need in spending all that money for real miesters (but i would kill for some) so i can justify getting rota d2's which are expensive for my not so large budget. if they look nice and are reliable, f it. who cares


EDIT:
not trying to start a war or flame anyone, just stating my opinion.

I'm a broke college student and I have Works. Had Rotas too. I'm not ashamed.

http://i55.tinypic.com/2rgc9xs.gif

99% of people care about looks...not brand, the 1% that over looks that is just trollin.

Or maybe I'm trollin :D

The line between "legit" and "fake" is starting to fade and less people are starting to care. You should see all of the high end companies that are starting to run Rota's on the track, and the numbers are growing. Honestly, if you think non-biased for a moment and compare bang-for-the-buck, you can't blame them. Honestly, IMO, if you're running Volks just for looks and not on the track, you've defeated the purpose of the wheels anyways.

ok so help a newbie out with the aggressive stance... how can i get it without spacers, new tires and wheels???

Oh Im not ashamed of having rotas. I like the way they look and they fit my budget. Plus Im drivng to work and school.. I don't track or go to car shows. It's not like I really need $700 per rim wheels.

Oh and I would have gotten those Works too for the price you got them! Steal man! ;) I think they cost less then my torques.

bang for the buck is the argument everyone uses...and its one of the worst ones.

For the price people pay for a new set of rotas, you could buy a used set of quality wheels, usually with tires too.

and im not saying your lying or anything, just kind of curious. What high end companies are using rotas on the track?

most knockoff wheels are heavier than their quality counterparts, so i dont see why any high end company that is actually trying to perform competitively would run them.

^I agree that you can get used high quality wheels for a low price. I did cheap out and buy reps, but I kick myself because right after I had the chance to buy 1. Work CR-Kai's for $1200 with tires, and 2. SSR Prof. SP1's for about the same price. Neither was exactly the size/offset I wanted but I could have made it work. I am ____ed I did that. My next set of wheels will be real. Dont get me wrong though, I run reps and have absolutely no hate for anyone who does.

i dont hate people that do, i just dont really understand the logic. (hence my previous post)

^Like Hayseed said.
Find some CR-Kai's in 18x9.5 ~35 offset for under $1000 with tires (lol) then you will make sense. Believe me I have looked and searched. CL, stanceworks, stancenation, SL, WFC etc... all the ads for used Works for a few months. You wont find them in that size or color that you want. You're looking more in the range of $2k+ (just rims) from what Ive seen and even at that.. you have to hope that are 5x100. (Or spend a bunch on hub centric adapters and a powder coat if not the color you want)

Yea sure I've seen some 17s with high offsets for ~$1300 in a plain metal but thats not what I want. Yea I could afford them but why get a size/color you don't like?

This is almost like AMD vs Intel. Spend a bunch with Intel set up but get the better machine, or spend a lot less on an AMD set up and get the runner up machine. Do they BOTH still get the job done at the end of the day? Yup.

At the end of the day, it is what it is. It's getting what you want/need and can afford it.

lolol.

old thread, and doesnt have tires but kind of makes my point. you just got to have patience.

i picked up a pair of brand new still in box CR-KAI's for $300 on CL over here. Granted they werent the best size but they were better quality than rotas.

$1100 works shipped
$1150 rotas shipped

^ LOL nice find(even though old)! Yea that is a very good deal but probably VERY rare. I would have drove to Vegas to pick them up if it was earlier this year. xD But then you have to buy tires, and I wouldn't be happy with that color so I would have powder coat them. And then you're looking at close to $1600. Granted you have the rims and you can probably save for the rest. It's if you really want to spend that much on some DD rims.

To each their own I guess.

edit: I didn't pay $1,150 for my set. I got them for less then $1000 new with tires. (color/size/look I wanted)

I believe anyone can afford high end wheels like volk, work, advan, bbs, etc... It just takes time to save up. The thing is, no one wants to wait.

Yea.. true. They want it now and at best price.

but kudos if you can find them at a killer price used. Hoodie and Jon both found some works at great prices that I would have definitely paid if the opportunity came around local.

Exactly, ive also read about alot of people buying knock offs, having them bend, dent, whatever and then buying another set, etc etc.

Then realizing they couldve just bought a good set from the start with all the money they wasted.

Also, if you play your cards right, moneys not even an issue after the initial investment.

Buy your wheels used, use them some more, sell them for the price you paid.

Thanks, Pete. That sums it up. /discussion.

@yellowxhoodie: TiC Motorsports, Takata/COBB, GST Motorsports, LIC Motorsports, etc. Sorry, im kind of a subie freak. Regardless, I'll agree that this "argument" is dumb. Everyone has their reasons to get what they have. Whether it be smaller budgets, lack of patience or whatever. To each their own.

It's good to know that you can always count on tcpete to lighten up the mood.

Speaking of good companies suffering, did you guys hear about HKS? They are pulling all of their US operations. Damn economy... However, they did not state that they will be closing down entirely. Just the US side.

Can't blame just the economy. Same argument as the wheels. Knockoff companies (like Godspeed) come in, spend $0 on r&d, completely rip off designs, people buy it just because it's cheaper and end up putting the og companies out of business. Kind of sad. Then people complain about no new parts coming out. Companies like Godspeed bring nothing to the table. Just copied products. Put yourself in hks's shoes. Would you want to spend a ton of money developing a new product when you knew another company would just come along, steal your design, and sell it for cheaper, eventually running you into the ground?

Since you guys are running aggressive stances maybe you have an idea for me. I took my fender liners out and lowered my car more. But now i am hitting the tab that holds the bumper to the fender. Can i cut it off and be ok?

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t128/unforgivensin188/2011-04-29101320.jpg

that is my issue... Im rubbing really bad on bumps. I need to fix it today

I bent it up and zip tied it. But I still rubbed on stock tires. Honesty running a stretched tire solved it for me

isn't the bottom part plastic?

Yeah. I cut it and drilled a new hole.

I just let it rub til it stopped. It got bent up anyways. Just bend it up til it stops rubbing.

I am going to cut them off tonight when i limp my car home and then put new holes there.

i have to cut my tabs a little too... even though my set up is not aggressive... i rub like a mofoooooo... i guess i have aggressive tires lulz

Im running 18x8.5 et 35 with 225/40/18. Lowered on racelands, no fender liners and fenders rolled. And i hit it bad. i am going to cut the whole thing off.

Irish, I just posted on the post pics thread about ur rubbing issue and then I see it on here, lol also forgot to mention on the other thread if you go wit smaller tires you would b fine like 205/40 to get some stretch cause I don't think you would get a stretch on 215/35 But you might even clear with out stretch on 215/35

Ya, i understand stretching would help, but i cannot invest more into tires right now... These ones barely have 1k miles on them. lol

@jona, i know you have a more aggressive wheel set up than i do and you are lower, when you are turning, how does your wheel not catch your fender? When i was cruising through the parking garage last night to do a shoot when i was turning really hard, my tire would catch the top of my fender... Just a rub.

And plus, if i was baller, best believe, i wouldn't be driving a tC (no offense). Not even as a daily lol! As a daily i'd wanna be driving an s2k or something lol then having an M45 or an LS460 as my baller car. lol =P Just saying.. lol

VIP style grills are hard to find for our car.

for interior you should totally get some Garson D.A.D. seat covers LOL

do you plan on getting a table? i've asked around and cant find one made specifically for the tc.

^ A table? Would be awesome! Sadly the tC isn't exactly a VIP platform. But to do one that way would just be amazing. Maybe you can have someone fabricate something that extends from the front arm rest as a bar/table for the back seats? Hmmm. Now i'm thinking.

Jona - get an LS. Lexus big bodies. <3

lol Jasper, but he said he didnt want an LS! he wants a s2k like the rest of the stance scene ;)

Boooooo! No S2K's are great. VIP S2K? Whhhaaaattt!?!?!,!3

Don't stance an S, throw some meaty tires on it and a hardtop...

VIP tables typically are for the front passenger extending from the dash.

S2k's are a little too sporty looking to be VIP. but i have seen 2 that pulled it off nicely

^Good luck on that one. Just when you think you've found something, surprise, someone busts out with you were wanting.

The SP3's look a lot like Work XSA-02Cs. Not a fan.

True, but I have an idea of something no has, or will do in the near future (until I do...if I do...so much trouble haha).

If they're ballin', I'm bout it bout it!

Those sp3 are ballin.

Alright, so i got the shots from my most recent shoot; Mind you, this was an unplanned shoot! My car wasn't cleaned or anything! haha So i apologize for my dirty car! lol Enjoy!

^You gotta have that quick detailer on hand, nice pics, but the hosting does bring the quality down :( . First one is my fave because of the backdrop.

Anyone seen this guy? His plates say California.. Legit tho, SSR SP3's mmmmmm!

This was taken at USDM Jam in Japan.

Just like JDM plates are popular here, US plates and license frames are hot commodities in Japan. It's very hard to snag stuff like that over there unless you've lived in the states or bought it off someone who has.

Very clean tC though. Love those wheels.

Found another pic...

Ah i see, thanks for the help :). That tC is pure win though.. Maybe a 5a kit and diff tails?

Sid u can still get the sp3s since that tC's from Japan!

someone needs to do VSKFs

^I almost bought a set of those. 5x100 too but the offset was too high.

Hey there, i am running 17x8 Rotiforms et 30 with 195/40/17....215/45 on a 9 wont be much stretch.....so it shouldnt affect safety....and if u dont wanna be rubbing u might be able to squeak by with some camber....ill put up pics as soon as i get a legit shoot...but also if u have more questions pm me

Also, it should look fine, you wont know until u try...i use a Yokohama s.Drive, its a summer tire, but wicked tread and stechs arent too low....so may not need roll fenders

if you have to ask what a stretched tire is and if its safe you should prob. do some more research.

His research is him asking fellow scion owners who have done this before about it. This is a discussion forum, dude. We're here to discuss topics and help each other out. Relax with the "just search" bull____. If he wanted to just search he would've went to google. He came here to learn by talking and asking questions, that's the exact reason why forums exist. Social interaction. I'm not trying to be a dick but it's just so much easier to just help someone out or stay quiet.
I would understand if he posted a new thread asking about stretched tires, but he's asking in the aggressive stance thread, exactly where he should be.

It gets really tiresome when 5656262 people asks the same question that have already been answered. Just saying.

Ulyes- Very sick. I love how low you are.

I thought this was cool...

Then read a magazine. Then you wont have to worry about people wanting to learn by asking questions! Just saying.

I would go with 215/40/17, plus it's not gonna give you alot of stretch on a 9" rim so your safe if that's your concern, also since your drop isn't aggressive with some camber you will clear and won't have to roll fenders and you won't rub

Nice stance Ulyes! The white rims take me back to the old Honda days, very cool look. 8)

Thanks guys for the help
I dont get the camber stuff

The internet has a wealth of info. There even sites that have pictures of almost every single setup you can imagine.

I was just saying that if one doesnt understand the concepts of something they should prob research it more before doing it.

That like tearing your motor apart to re-build it...without knowing anything about engine internals. Or become a stock trader...without knowing anything about the stock market.

Jaewrek- damn.

Uyles- you're running 5mm (F)/ 15mm (R) spacers on a +38, right?

Btw im in stechs

Once you lower a car it automatically starts to camber in, just throw your wheels on, and if they rub when you go get an alignment tell them to adjust the camber arms in the rear. For the fronts you have to get camber bolts if you need further camber to avoid rubbing but I think you wil be good... Would have been better if you would have gone with 215/40

Hahaha.

Hate trolls!:gun: really dont need the hater ____...

Lol. Did you happen to have too much aspartame today? Jussstttt kidding :]
You posted in the wrong thread, this thread is for aggressive wheel stance, Not aggressive wheel color.

oh well i am new to this... ____ happens.:doh:

Oh yeah welcome to scionlife!

Yup. I like the color but fitment is weak. :)

All of a sudden I want to get me some cotton candy.

...and by the way, sweetheart, those are not Dr31's.

Buy my wheelllsss no body has these puppies.

^It might be a while, people have likely spent their tax money already.

More pictures.

holy poking wheel batman.....is that a evo?

how does that even look close to an evo?! thats a 1st gen xB.....i think. lol

sick evo bro

evo with an xb front clip haha

Just like JDM plates are popular here, US plates and license frames are hot commodities in Japan. It's very hard to snag stuff like that over there unless you've lived in the states or bought it off someone who has.




... this is hilarious! So I could make some $$$ if I shipped someone some 14" spinner hubcaps from autozone?!? Or maybe a halogen license frame, or a Ed Hardy air freshener...Maybe some light up windshield washer nozzles. Oh... the possibilities!

evo with an xb front clip haha

Lmao. I love you guys

So how about those stanced tC cars?

Thats dope jona...just became my new wallpaper

Here's a couple recent pictures of the car! Enjoy!




ive seen you on the 5 north near the 56 haha. nice stance.

Thanks, Jona. That first pic is breasts.

On saturday night/sunday morning(1am or so I think) I spotted a silver tc with white wheels and Anzo tail lights going down the 110S.....

^ Uyles, maybe?

Thats what I was thinking. Fitment was pretty dope...

nah that definitely wasn't me, i was at a party that night, hahaha. there's a lot of clones running around though. :P

Jonas second pic kinda looks like he has a gen 2 or I'm just blind which I pretty much am

How big of a spacer do you guys think i am going to need to run to get flush on my wheels? 18x8 et 35

Also, how big can i go before i need to run extended lugs?

Well who ever it was just wanted to say hi lol Im not sure excactly what time it was. It was late already tho

How big of a spacer do you guys think i am going to need to run to get flush on my wheels? 18x8 et 35

Also, how big can i go before i need to run extended lugs?


i put a 25mm spacer before in the rear it was pretty close

With similar specs? What are you dropped on?

Even for me at +17 with 4* camber im not that flush. In the front with 1* I am though.

Irish, Go with 20mm in front and 25mm on the rear

finally a decent picture of the tC from USDM Jam

Need to run extended lugs and a camber kit up front at that point, ya?

finally a decent picture of the tC from USDM Jam

Car looks great man

No extended lugs needed if you get the hubcentrip spacers cause they already come with pressed studs, and I have camber plates so yea u need camber bolts for the front, there was some one here selling project kicks and ICHIBA v2 spacers look for them and also I some some people on WFC selling some too

Any fender rolling or pulling up front or on the rears? and what camber are you at front and rear? I just bought the flat black grids 18x9.5" et38 for my gfs RS1, attempting to get the same stance or as close as I can from yours. Yours is so :bow:

yo skeeet

what were they measuring? lol

How low the rid height was. It was a contest at Carlisle

How was carlisle? I was gunna make the trip but iafter I put my coils on it was rainy. I didn't feel like makin that 3 hour trip in the rain..

haha thanks guys,

carisle was fun, wish the weather was a little bit better than the crappy foggy/mist rain but it was alright...should have been more people there but the rain scared everyone away. to see more pics of the show "like" prodigy motorsports on facebook thats were i posted all the pictures of the show (well that i took) and thats my clubs page.

Rota Torques 17x9 et30
falken 502 215/45/17

im rubbing and i really didnt want to so what can i do now so i stop rubbing

should not have went with a 45 series. and maybe take out ur fenderliner and do a minimal roll and u prob wont need to even camber it if u get a 35or 40 series tire

is gonna look bad if i take out fender liner and where in Long island can i get a fender rolling service

@Skeeet: So what was the result of the measurement? Did you take the cake, or was there a NSX there? lol.

is gonna look bad if i take out fender liner and where in Long island can i get a fender rolling service

No, almost all of us have the liners taken out. It'll look fine. And go to harbor freight and get a heat gun and a big hammer and you can roll your fenders easily. I would have went with a 40 series tire as well.
