They are DIP D65s, 17x7 chromed.

They are mounted on the stock tires (to save money, otherwise, I'd get the 18". They will do for now until I can go through my other mods and then get 18" later down the line.

Sorry about the quality/angles of the photos. They look even better in real life and I will take better photos tomorrow. Enjoy and let me know what you think:

I have the TRD springs. I gotta see it again in the daylight. Can mounting wheels somehow make the springs change and make the car site higher?

I may, sooner or later, black out the parts below to make the center less massive. What do you think about this? What's the best method to do this? Powdercoat, Gloss spray paint, etc?

dude - if it makes you take a second look, take pics, show friends and smile when your head hits the pillow - well then, that's your little red wagon. good for you.
tint it and you'll like it even more.

Not a fan of general chrome but i like the look you have there. Maybe go out and buy some black caliper paint. It'll give it that black out look you're talking about and it will also enhance the overall theme of the car. In the near future, if you going to use chrome, i'd say to tint all the windows. Just my few words, good luck.

Looks nice for the stock tires but 18" would look much better

Congrats on the new rims, but weird combo for the tC IMO. Keep the mods comming. :)

Ok, which one would look better, the way my wheels look right now, or with parts of the center painted black??

they look like they would belong on an escalade- 22'' style. To each his own, but I think the stockies are better.
