View Full Version : Silver or Gunmetal Black for Cement Scion tC?
doubles87 07-28-2011, 03:34 PM 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.

mmmpshh 07-28-2011, 04:37 PM ^ tht looks good
10gxiong 07-28-2011, 05:10 PM ^ tht looks good
I agree. That looks more like silver than gunmetal though. Either one would work.
doubles87 07-28-2011, 10:00 PM 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.

johndeo11 07-29-2011, 08:44 PM cement tc2? gunmetal sir.... or any colored wheels. dont put silver... just my suggestion.
MissfitC 07-31-2011, 07:50 PM I say fo for the gunmetal!!
I have a 2G magnetic gray tC and I'm going insane bc I can't decide on what color to paint my rims.. Any suggestions?
doubles87 08-01-2011, 02:39 AM It seems like silver is a big no no lol. Any reason why people are not a fan of silver?
Scion202 08-01-2011, 03:01 AM matte black is always the winner!!!

for magnetic gray? black. gold. gunmetal. bronze.
unsungfate 08-02-2011, 09:45 PM 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

Scion202 08-04-2011, 06:18 PM nevermind the info i found online was wrong, this is the response I got from five axis:

Blackedout011TC 08-05-2011, 01:32 AM I have been seriously considering these wheels, Konig Milligrams. They are around 20 lbs. each depending on the size. The black or the gold, can't decide myself.
