Default Silver or Gunmetal Black for Cement Scion tC?

Just want some peoples opinions. Those websites that try to show you the wheel on your car are pretty bad.

I really like the S5:F but not sure if I should go with the Gunmetal or Silver.

I agree. That looks more like silver than gunmetal though. Either one would work.

It's actually gunmetal. Five axis told me. I just don't want a too "gangster" of a look. O rather keep it classy. Just having a hard time deciding. Never seen the silvers on it.

It seems like silver is a big no no lol. Any reason why people are not a fan of silver?

You should go with the gunmetal man, the silver will look funky on the cement. I am going to get yellow (not gold or bronze) for my cement. I am going to have to powder coat them once I decide which wheels I will be getting. I wanted the Rota Circuit 8's, but they don't make them in 18's... Now I am just bouncing from site to site looking for another good rim..

Its so tough to find the right wheel. What does it mean to powder coat? For the five axis ones they require new tires too so it kinda sucks cost wise.

Yellows a pretty out there colour too

Yes finding the right wheel is terrible.., but I'm trying! Oh my, I wish the Circuit 8's were in 18's so bad. Anyways, powder coating is a method of painting the rims with electrically charged paint. Looks great and is very practical.

Yes yellow is out there, but green and orange have been done. I want that r.s 7 yellow though.. I am also going to order the wing bc it has been catching my eye lately, but I am going to get it in the rs yellow and maybe the lip kit from five access in the same rs yellow and finally yellow stripe in the tC body lines. I am still debating it, but in my head it sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll learn to photoshop and do it..

They seems to be overdone now, I've seen that style on many cars. I found rims that are used on the Audio Quattro Concept but not sure if they will suit the tC

Thanks for getting in touch with us and your interest in FIVE:AD Products by Five Axis. The weight on the 18x7.5 R6:F is about 26-27 lbs. Let us know if you have any questions.

Best regards,
