I am looking for new rims for my 2005 Scion TC. These are the brands: Motegi Racing, ASA, Borbet, MSW, Nascar Sonoma, These are some of the brands i was looking at on tirerack.com. Which band had better quality rims? Any ideas, suggestions are welcome. By the way i have 18" enkei rims now and i want to get 17" for a little more profile on the tire as there are lots of potholes where I love. Any help....pleaaassse.

 

out of those choices....

I would go with Motegi over all the others but that is slim as it is. Just don't go with Nascar...

 

stick with your enkei's

 

The Motegi huh...well im still doing research. I had my car for 2 years now and did not have any problems with the tires or my enkei rims. Now though my pirelli pzer nero tires, one of them i had to replace b/c i got 3 bubbles and my rim got dented from a huge hole i hit on the HIGHWAY...totally unavoidable but i got that rim welded already 3x. I got a temporary tire to replace for now until i figure out what im going to buy.

 

buy another enkei rim and 2 tires. always change tires in pairs, unless they are fairly new?

 

I love my 18" Enkei rims but i want to get 17". There just giving me lots of problems lately so i want to get ALL new tires and rims. How are your kumho tires?

 

i would go back down to 17s thats why i kept my stocks just in case i wanted to go back down.

 

Well i dony have the stock b/c i got my car with the low profile tires already. Bought my car just the way i wanted it. Do you know anyone who selling the stock ones??? sheeesh that would be awesome so i can save some $..ya know its hard times.

 

check craigslist or the classifieds on here. how much do you want to spend for the stock 17s?

 

Where are the classifieds on here? Stock go for about $300 i believe no matter if i get them from Scion Dealer or private...thats why i would rather pick and choose my own style tire and rim for that price. Th stock are pretty cool but i actually love the black rims....they look hott on my car.

 

i just sold all 4 of my stock wheels, and tires for $350... so u should beable to find some around the same price.

 

I bet I know which hwy too, belt pkwy? haha I wouldn't go with any of those wheels, quality sux and once u hti a pothole there done for, look at the private classifieds on here to see who has wheels for sale chances are u can gett hem for cheap on here, and if u want black rims all u need to do is buy sum stock rims(which are much much much better then the ones u listed) and paint them. if u need any help I'm local so I can help u out with that

 

NOOoo not the belt pkwy but that is all F****D up too....so upsetting...people honk at me all the time b/c i slow the F*** down since my car is low too b/c of my kit and the damn holes are unreal....and i'll slow down even more when they honk..lmao..... Im like "you loosers either pass me and dont tailgate me or ill f***N break hard and make you hit me...lol.
I totally agree with you though on the stock rims. Painting those black would be a fun project for me too. COol...but i still dont know where are the classifieds on here? i went to search and just typed scion tc stock rims...lol.

 

check out 5zigen..or check out enkei rpf1's..great wheel for a pretty decent price.

 

lol I'm the same way NYC streets,hwy everything is horrible potholes galore. I try to drive as slow as possible to and if sum1 wants to tailgate me ill brake check them haha. but to find the classifieds u can do it on this page u see the thing right above this ^^ click that and there's a list go to classifieds PPC: wheels and tires
