Or, if you hook me up with one of your hot aunties, these wheels could be yours.
Just saying.

Anyone else for real wheels? I know there will be more people with fake wheels than real wheels.

With an email like "rotasucks@yahoo.com" , all your posts just bashing people who rock replica wheels, and not contributing anything worthy to the forum you should be banned for trolling.

No one knows you and no one cares what you think about their wheels.

In my opinion... Wheel are wheels. They are all round. What matters is how you rock them. I could care less about how much a wheel costs, I could care less about the name of a wheel. People need to get over themselves. I have drag wheels. Thats what I can afford. If any of you that are up on your pedastools want to donate the money for me some expensive wheels, go ahead. Ill probably take that money and buy something else with it.

i agree with cory

Mods: please change the title to "Legit aggressive wheels stance pics"

These replica wheels are an infestation, that needs to be deceased and terminated by all means.

"I dont have money to buy some nice legit wheel" is what they all say. If cant afford them, dont buy it. Dont give business to those that dont deserve it.

Let me ask something, Do you want to use your hard earned money on crap?
You guys have failed to answer my simple question. Let me re-ask, Do you want to use your hard earned money on crap?
Wow... you dare compare your scion tc with a lexus? full of arrogance. You get what you pay for my friend.
I know what i said may have upset many of you, but what i said are valid points. My intentions were not to force people not to buy replica wheel, but to spread awareness about this issue.
If you think about it, it is actually a disease in which no none of us can control. By spreading this knowledge we can cure it and rid the replica out.
This is not nonsense. I do hope that people will spread this knowledge to their friends and family.

Some people on this forum may say " nice wheels," but in the back of their mind "oh its just some replica wheel."

For me, I want wheels that i can actually be proud of.
I have no idea why you brought up the lexus vs your scion tc.

Replica will never be dope. I guarantee you.
Honestly, the whole "can't afford real wheels" thing is stupid. If you don't know how to save money, then maybe you should learn

Dont support replica wheels. Its all im asking. You will be doing yourself a favor.
I want to know why everyone is for replica wheels? I thought i would at least get some supporters.
Looking at the wheeldude website, rota grids are 1 thousand. If you save like 200-300 more you can get yourself quality wheels like enkei; brand new! You saved up 9/10ths already, is it too hard to save up the other 1/10th?
There are a variety of wheels out there for the taking and at a reasonable price. You saved up most for it, why not just continue to save to get them?

For those of you that buy wheels for looks/attention, do you think grids get more attention or volk te37? or torques vs work emotion cr kai?

Please dont support replica wheel.
Ban? i have done nothing wrong. I only stated what is true. But all i see is people ignoring the problem and are against what i believe.

Is there anyone out there for real wheels?

^Nope, not yet. What happened?

looks like you drove off a curb while going reverse. hahaha. and how is your midpipe not bent if that happened to your frame?

HAHAHHA! i honestly do not know how that happened but its been like that for a while, the car was t-boned but i doubt that coulda caused it. i was just looking under the car today and decided to see if its happened to anyone else.

Jeremy, the midpipe could have been replaced also, never know.

none of my exhaust has been replaced, we bought the car brand new in 05.

^Has anyone else driven the car? Someone might've jumped the curb and left that tidbit out when handing back the keys.

my brother had it til about a year and a half ago, it was slammed on function and forms so it makes sense, he was prob the one that did something stupid in it. not really worried about it, it just looks bad.

i'm searching around on this thread but my slow internet is beating me to death. I have rota torques which are +48. With 25mm spacers would I for sure need to roll my fenders? Trying to avoid the fender rolling until I can find someone I trust and I can't do it myself.

ya looks like i'd need to roll or set my coilovers retard high.

Thanks, gents. ISO was up to 2000 I think. Shutter was about 1/50 and f- stop was at about 1.8. I'm guessing on these specs because I was shooting aperture priority but it was about that for sure.

AGREEEED:icon_biggrin:

so how do i get rid of that ( ! ) symbol on the dash? car is an 05 and doesnt have TPMS but its throwing bc of wheel size im guessing....just 2.5 inches wider then factory TRD wheels....what gives?

its throwing it cuz you dont have the tpms installed. can't get rid unless you get tpms put in

its on bc your dont have the tpms sensors on the wheels

^He doesn't have TPMS sensors. That wasn't introduced until 2008.

so how do i get rid of that ( ! ) symbol on the dash? car is an 05 and doesnt have TPMS but its throwing bc of wheel size im guessing....just 2.5 inches wider then factory TRD wheels....what gives?

You have to recalibrate the sensor. It uses rotational mass I believe to determine if one of your tires is low on pressure. And since you changed the wheels, of course it's gonna come on. There's instructions on resetting it in the owner's manual.

'07, actually. I just learn to live with it.
I heard it can be disabled completely, though.

^He doesn't have TPMS sensors. That wasn't introduced until 2008.


Disagree on the year introduced, 2007 was the first year of TPMS on the tC, I had a Spec package and was even on the 16" steelies.

6/10 - EDIT: TPMS sensors on the wheels started with the '07.

My mistake. Either way, he doesn't have them.

you can turn off the light with the button in the glove box but it will prob come back on.

If you reset it properly it won't come back on. It will calibrate to the new wheel/tire set up.

If you reset it properly it won't come back on. It will calibrate to the new wheel/tire set up.
thanks Jon for your insight. Those other people just weren't reading my previous post correctly I guess lol. The car didn't come with a Owner's manual though, is there a site, or page you can refer me to in order to completely disable it properly?

I didn't feel like going outside to get my manual, but I found these steps online.



The tire pressure monitor detects any changes in the tire inflation pressure. Therefore, it must initialize and store it in its memory if the tires or wheels have been replaced or the tires have been rotated. you can re-initialize the system by following these steps:

1) Check and make sure that your tires are inflated to the correct pressure.


2) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. If the low tire pressure warning light comes on, push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch (in the glove box) until the warning light turns off and then release the switch.

3) Now press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the low tire pressure warning light blinks three times.

4) Initialization is *not* completed until driving at the vehicle speed of 19mph or over for more than one hour. the tire pressure monitoring starts when initialization is completed.

My TMPS light just came back on after being off for like 4 months... Stupid aftermarket wheels lol

deleted this pic. Just didn't like it.

jon the little exclamation mark that shows up if your tire is low?

I think the argument is when did the TPMS sensors (that are attached to the valve stem) come out on the tC.

jon the little exclamation mark that shows up if your tire is low?

Everyone has the light, but how the car gets the info is different. In the 05-06 it's measured through the ABS system by sensing differences in rotational speed. In the 07+, there are 4 modules mounted on each valve stem on the wheels inside the tires.

oh. I failed. I will now leave the thread.

If I have 6-7 turns on my extended ICHIBA wheel stud after installing 10mm spacers am I good or how many turns am I suppose to have to b safe?

If I have 6-7 turns on my extended ICHIBA wheel stud after installing 10mm spacers am I good or how many turns am I suppose to have to b safe?

Were ur aftermarket extended studs meant for 10mm spacers?

Im running stock studs with an 8mm..n i prolly have less turns than you..i think u shud be alright.

Yea in the notes it stated recommended to be used with wheel spacers up to 15mm, but I drive my car very far everyday so I was worried with the amount of spins I had just wasn't sure if it's safe so I wanted to ask for some help just cause for some reason I thought I would have had more spins with these 45mm studs. So then I should b fine running these long distance with the amount of turns rite?(6-7turns)

you need 8 turns minimum

You are fine running the spacers.

what would be the best offset for minimal stretch on a 9.5inch rim?

Go for +35. Thats a good in the middle offset.

9.5 mini stretch..a 225/35

i don't think that's accurate i run a 215 on my 7.5 stockies so going up 2 inches only increases the tire width to a 225? i ment minimal as in i want the widest tire possible without rubbing.

Play around with willtheyfit.com

i don't think that's accurate i run a 215 on my 7.5 stockies so going up 2 inches only increases the tire width to a 225? i ment minimal as in i want the widest tire possible without rubbing.

Stocks r 7"...honestly its gonna be hard to say..some tires r bigger than others..even if they are the same sizes.. I. E. I run 225/35 Falken 452..if i would run the same size in Federals, it wouldnt look the same since Federals come a bit bulkier...best thing i can say is..have the shop try on a few tires before u decide on what u want...also roll ur fenders if u want more tire n no rubbing.

i'm dead set on the 9.5's i want as wide of a wheel as i can stuff in my fenders to help with traction.

18x9.5 +38 with 255/35s on them and don't go as low.

^This. There's a guy running 255s on a 9.5 width on this forum, not as low of a ride height but if you want function it's not recommended to slam the tC anyways, you can search on that as it has it's own thread.

18x9.5 30et Privat Kup
15mm and 20mm will be on next week including better pics

Question for you guys

I am looking at rota grids, either 17x9 +42 in gold, with a 215/40 or 18x9.5 +38 in gold, on a 215 or 225/40. I am wanting to be flush with 0 poke, and as little camber as needed in the rear. Maybe a 8.5 would be better suited for this?

Im torn between 17s and 18s due to the fact that my FF type 2s may give me a fender to tire gap with a stretched tire..I love the look it has now, just wish I could push out more (rolling on stocks)

Ive got stock tire size, tein s techs, and looking to achieve hella fushiness. Ive decided that hub-centric is the absolute only way to go so the inchibas are the target. but i have three questions 1. what size should i go with, most people say 15mm Front 20MM rear(no estimations here please only people with personal experience) Ive figured at about 25mm rubbing would begin to occur. second what is the difference between v1 and v2? third will i have to make any modifications to the stock studs.

before you even worry about all that, get coils. you will never achieve hellafushiness or whatever on s-techs

nah ive had coils on all of my other cars, cant deal with the bounce, i must say that i feel as is the car rides better with the s techs than stock.. stock the car is too high and gets blown around on the highway....hell would anybody have a fix for that too.

Go as wide as you can with a low offset. I promise you - you will need it. If you go with a 17x9 +42 you'll need spacers. Even with the 18x9.5 +38 you'll need spacers in the rear but the front will be flush.

They are miro 111. Only wheel company sells wheels that are concave with that style I like. Would love to get the linea corse 19 x 11 cuz they have a hella concave look but they are 19s.

Is that Laguna Seca blue?

Is that Laguna Seca blue?

Yes sir.

nah ive had coils on all of my other cars, cant deal with the bounce, i must say that i feel as is the car rides better with the s techs than stock.. stock the car is too high and gets blown around on the highway....hell would anybody have a fix for that too.

Which coilovers have you ran? The reason I have a bit of a bounce on my B&G coilovers is that I requested increased spring rates(8K front, 10K rear), they only had the front springs available. Currently on 8K for the front without getting the dampers revalved because they said the damper could handle a +/- 2K spring rate change, well I don't think it's doing it as well as I thought they would. I havent checked on the preload since i've had them installed so i might adjust that before going to the 6K springs they usually come with. The rears are 8K and are perfect. I think it's your coilover selection that you need to research on.

More pics Dilirious!

Beautiful color!

That's right! Knew it started with an M, nice color too

Dilirious, looks sick man!

^ Cool picture, Kevin. Looks like the tC is cloaked or something with the reflection the way it is.

Not sure how I feel about that color. Kinda meh... But that teal or tiffany blue xB in the background!! :fapfapfap:

Yes sir.

Very nice. I've always liked that color.

before you even worry about all that, get coils. you will never achieve hellafushiness or whatever on s-techs
What is this "HellaFlush" and how is it acquired???

You have to a find a 240...rape it...then bam, you have HellaFlush.

any tips to pull the rear fender? im scraping on the lip of the wheel. Just got wheels yesterday and now one rim has scrapes :(

Eastwood fender roller maybe?

i paid someone a while back to do the fender roll just neeed maybe about 5mm pull or more

I'd say take an angle grinder and try to shave off what you can, or just keep hammering.

Grind to fit :) I know I have a xD but i'm sure the process would be the same...I was able to grind quite a bit off, only leaving a small portion of the lip remaining...Smoothed the lip out and hit it with some touch up paint from the dealership...Good luck...

Thats exactly what I did^
Looks good.

^yea it looks good. thanks guys for all the help. will updated in a few days with the new wheels

Soooo what happened to this? It really sucks that nobody stuck to this because it would have REALLY helped a lot of people, including myself, that doesn't have the knowledge a lot of you guys do. A lot of you guys have beautiful cars with amazing fitment. You could be doing a lot to help fellow owners and also the community. Just my two cents. Hope you guys see my point.

NEW RULES

If you are posting pictures, post specs as well or the pictures will be deleted. No one is learning from pics if there are no specs to go with them. Here is an example of stats that should be listed.

Rim Brand: Enkei Rim Style: RPF1 Sizing:18x9.5 +38 Camber: F:-1 R:-1 Tire Size: 275/40/18 Tire Brand: Nitto Tire Style: NT05

Also, if you are running spacers, mention it, as that will affect the offset.

^ LOL, sure why not. I need a reason to whore this pic.

Wheels: Enkei RPF-1 in SBC

THANK YOU HOMIE! Now if we can get everyone else to play along. It went from pictures only to a full blown discussion forum.

Well... The discussion part is what makes this thread. That will always be.

F*cking Magic.
its an ancient chinese secret

What happened is me not wanting to deal with having to delete almost every single post and listening to people complain about it.

Okay so your saying you need too know everyone's specs...make it happen on your own, go out there and experiment have a few ____ up's...learn it on your own don't copy everyone else...

There's a reason the tape measure was created, put it to use. Figuring ____ out is the fun part, if it's given you won't have any stories to tell.

It has nothing to do with that, if someones undecided, and has a couple sizes in mind, having pictures and visuals to look at helps.

This is a forum...

People are here to talk about their similar interests and help each other, if everyone wanted to learn and ____ up on their own then we wouldnt even have this thread, hell, we wouldnt even really have a forum.

Well I gave in for a New Semi-Stance...I didnt go to Crazy because I enjoy driving my car "Very Spirited" so I like taking Turns & Curvy roads etc..

Camber: not sure I think its factory Specs currently
Tires: Sumitomo HTR A/S P06 225/40/18 (have to get skinnier tires now)

Crappy Phone Camera Pic for now:

Sent from somewhere using something.

Ordered my wheels. Specs will be 17 x 9.5 +25. What tire size do you think I should get? I was thinking 215/40/17.

^Not hating on you personally,

but for those of you questioning the spec rule, this is a perfect example.

If everyone listed everything, users with questions could easily browse the thread and see visual examples of setups, especially since diff. brand tires stretch diff, etc.

Then we wouldnt have all the what size this and what size that questions on every page.

Or you could just go here:

http://www.tyrestretch.com/ or http://www.willtheyfit.com/

Not trying to be a smart ___ but there are specific databases specifically meant for tire stretch and offset.

will they fit isnt vehicle specific tho i noticed. every car is made different.

will they fit isnt vehicle specific tho i noticed. every car is made different.

exactly.

this is a SCION forum, people come here to learn and talk about SCIONS.

(just an example) I could care less how a 18x9.5 +35 fits on a 240SX or and Audi or whatever if i dont own one, every car has several diff variables that affect what will and will not fit.

There's almost 400 pages on this topic/thread. Search a little.
Put your stunna reading shades on!

But you can use logic and put in the stock wheel specs and then put in the wheel specs you want to compare them too. Its not meant to show what it looks like on your car but how it compares to your current wheel set up.

thats great and all, but you need to take into consideration how much room there is in the wheel well, suspension clearance, etc. Which is why its nice to see specific examples of specific cars.

Or you could just not be a douche and take the extra 2 seconds to add the information that was originally requested. If you don't want people to "copy" your stuff then don't post in this forum as there are 100 other ones for self absorbed people that don't care about the movement.

^^LOL, self-proclaimed moderator nerd raging.

Oh I'm sorry was I that transparent? No I'm not nerd raging. I'm just tired of having a question and having to look through a million forums when the answer should have been right there. Attitudes like yours are really the problem. You have absolutely nothing positive to say so then why say it?

Then you guys get p1ssed off when some "noob" asks a question like you are the gods of all things car related. I've seen people insult the newer guys to a point where they don't log on the site anymore. All I was trying to say was help people out.

No I understand. I'm just trying to show people some effective tools and how to use them.

Lol @ spoony

There's no substitute for experience. After you've done it once, the fitment calculation is a piece of cake. The only issue I have is people who want information spoon fed to them without putting in any of their own effort. And why people try and keep specs/mods a secret is beyond me.

And what exactly is my attitude?
My previous statements still stand.

Understandable. Just remember some of these young guys on here don't have the money to buy a wheel only for it not to fit. It's a one shot deal for a lot of these guys. Being able to look at a combination on another car greatly helps them.

This.
What is the fun in having someone online tell you what to do? Go out there and figure stuff out for yourself. Thats where you earn experience, not in, as jon said, having it spoon fed to you.

Another thing too, if we were to all put our specs up, it doesnt change the problem of having to search through the 400 pages of posts.

And what exactly is my attitude?

UH HUH...your my hero

Jon for the win!

Lol bignoog you're the one with the attitude.

Something I've seen in other forums work too is to have a pic thread where users post pics and specs. Then there is a discussion thread where users discuss about that thread.

Don't you guys just love ScionLife?

I had no experience the first time I bought aggressive wheels. Hell those were the first aftermarket wheels I had bought period. But I made sure I looked around and did a lot of reading before I purchased.

There are too many common wheel setups for people to claim to be completely lost. If I could count the number of times I've seen "18x9.5" posted on this forum you'd be shocked. With all that unoriginality around here there's no excuse to ask if wheel "X" will fit. If you use that as your baseline, you can use the fitment calculators to find out what's possible.

JFTW again.

Didnt meant to start an argument LOL.

Anyways, opinions on "stretchy tires". Searched and couldnt find the results that I was looking for. Deciding between the Federals and Nankangs but open to other tire experiences too.

just buy em both and learn from your mistakes broooo.

^Best advice ever LOL.

I had no idea what I was doing when I first got my rims. Got 18x7.5 which now I think suck ___! You live and you learn. Still saving for my next set of rims which are going to be 18x9.5 LOL.

I'll field this general question.

Both Nankangs and Federals are affordable. Nankangs stretch easier but are also narrower than the Federals. Federals run a bit wider, but stretching ability varies according to size.

I have my wheels specs hidden in a safe in my basement hehehe.

I'll have my wheels specs posted on the side of a Goodyear blimp going around the world so everyone knows!

Aren't you scared?!?!?!? People might copy you!

Who's going to copy a 17x???

:icon_biggrin:
