I'm torn between these two wheels which are very close in price range to each other and are affordable enough range at a just under $200 per wheel online.
I like their styling, which mimic 2 more expensive models (that if I have the money, I'd get instead)
To get an idea,
Here are the 2 piece Ronal LZ ($450!)

and the Foose Speedster ($360!)

If you don't like either wheels, still choose the better one of the two. And no, unless you can show me something similar to these wheels, I'm not really looking for other styles (especially if they are ricey or JDM in style)

Also, if you know any wheels that are similar in design to those above, or the following (for less than $300 each), that'll be great!
if i were you id go with the foose rims but thats just my opinion

those Giovannas are PIMP
Yeah, i like them, too, but they only come in 20"s and I think only for trucks =(
Anyone find an alternative in smaller size and hopefully not quite as expensive??

well considering that the Foose is twice the price as the DIP D65, do you think that the DIP wheels is good enough?

The foose look-a-likes are way better imo.

I like the foose, but it's kinda cluttered for a tC I think. Still, the best out of the two, IMO.

The ronal Rt is 23 lbs. I don't know about the Dip D65, but the Foose Speedster is about 23lbs also. Hopefully the D65 isn't heavier than that

DIP D65

Definitely the DIP D65s. They look shweeet. Should make your ride more "G35 ish".
Those Ronals are ugly, and too similar to your stock wheels.....I don't like Ronals anyways. The finish on their wheels is very dull (lack luster) and the styles suck.
Not to mention, they should be outta business for even makin' this one:

Just a bit off-topic (do talk on-topic as well), what do you think and any wheels available that looks like these? It's from the upcoming 420hp Audi RS4, found in this thread:
Oh, the Dip D65 is 17x7, 5x100, and 35+mm offset. That'll fit on the tC, right?

Doesn't the tC have like a +45 offset? If it does, I wouldn't go that low

I'm sorry, it has a 40+mm offset, not 35

it'll fit! Go for it! (ok, I don't have a tC, so I don't know if it'll fit.)
