They are made by R-1 Racing Sports, GTR 10 rims. They are 17x7 Hyper Black with a silver lip and I'm using the stock tires, check em out: CLICK HERE (http://f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/gwmatrix@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/gwtc%27s+Scion+tC/R-1+Racing+Sports++GTR-10+Rims&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/)

Thanks for the replies, the first link is up and running again, so if you didn't get a chance to see them the first time try now. These rims are lighther then stock and I have noticed my acceleration has improved alot. I'ved noticed thou that I can feel the road more than before, is this normal? and should I continue putting the same amount of air that the manufacture suggest? thanks again for any replies.

bronze wheels are hot too on certain colors.

True. They look good on Blue cars, but I wouldn't slap bronze rims on any just any car!

Black rims look great with Silver cars, or any other color for that matter--especially if you're putting Carbon Fiber anywhere on the exterior.

There's a silver Honda s2000 around here with a lip kit, CF hood, lowered, and black rims with a silver lip.

Now that I mention it, there's also a yellow s2000 with matte black rims on it. Both look great.

yeah the black and darker wheels really got popular in europe a few years ago on the bmw's and benzes and then it made it's way over here. I love black wheels and won't own anything different. I'd love to do an escalade ext w/ black 24's and a 6" polished lip

thanks took alot of work to get it that far. The whole top is hand laid carbon fiber and the widebody was built by hand. It took me 6 weeks.

Built it last summer

yeah, im not feeling them either, but that would be only on my car. i bet they would look hot if i saw them out. i prefer some lip on my wheels. those still look nice however.
