pretty nice. what are those.

finally black rims w/ a polished lip that I like!! wow.. nice.. so I'm guessing those are just 19s with no drop at all?

That's probably what I'll end up doing... what kinda rims are those?

Pretty nice :)

Those are KMC SR5's . its a 5 split spoke and it does have a TRD drop on it as well. give me a minute and ill see about getting a closer pic of the rims

nice shoes.

yeah i like that. I'd like those exact rims, only in 17x7's (that's tC standard right?). I like the break pads too. Where did you get those?

I want those.... I wish I was willing to spend that kinda money though, I just can't do it!

how much they set you back?

-taek

I really like those! I'm debating on what to get for my tc still....turned out good!!!

how much do those bad boys weigh?

Thanks for the remarks all. i painted the calipers myself. the package cost me 1500 total with tax out the door with locks+lugs+mount balance+install. the rims were like 780 and the rubber is Nitto NEOGEN 215/35/19 witch is the exact same hight as the stock tire. i actualy like the ride quality better over stock, and by the way this rim in a 17 looks way to small. i should be getting my CF hood in a couple of weeks so ill post more pics. Any ideas after that?

how much do those bad boys weigh?

IM 95% positive they weigh the exact same as stock

*drooool!!!*............. whats the drop on the TRD springs you used??

Nice ride, i just bought the duplicolor red caliper paint kit for my calipers, any advice or tips before i start on saturday? thx

yeah, with the duplicolor ( i used the same thing ) its going to be very thin so i put like 4 coats on mine. make sure to do a coat let dry for 5-10 min. then do another coat and dont rush. and oh yea dont use the brush they give you it sux all the damn hairs come out and get stuck everywear so go out and buy a different brush(small)

and the question about the drop, i just bought the trd springs and installed them and thats how they settled.

nice nice nice

Thanks for the advice, i will be sure to get a better brush before i start. thanks again

good job man! :bow: :bow: nice wheels!!

that is a nice lookin tC. good job.

how is your ride comfort with 19's and a low drop?
i was thinkin about upgrading to 19's but wasnt too sure if the ride comfort would be nice or not

looks hot. i like. looks alot like my car just missing the CF hood.

they look sweeet!!!!

I love the look.. I havent been around for a while, so i hope to be around to look at your guys/gals rides... Soon to be a tC Owner.

moved...

HWAATTTTNESS!

LOOKS VERY GOOD!
I LIKE THE SILVER LIP!

Thats exactly what i dont want. If i did want a drop that low than i wouldnt of gotten the TRD springs. that pic was taken when i first installed them, now that my car settled, its about another inch 1/2 lower in the front and back.

:clap:

where did you get your wheels from i was checking out kmc's website and they dont make any wheel in a 19, and they said your wheel only goes to an 18, im guessing they havent updated it but just curious as to where ya bought them

They look ok to me. Much nicer than stock rims though.

I got them from a local performance shop in my area. your right, there not listed anywere, however they are available upon request and i think they got them from a place in south carolina i belive. But yea they make em' in a 19. they look better in person IMO.
