just look at the photos and stop hating.


they look great bro. the offset is perfect. they aren't hidden under the well. i like.

Kenshin likes them as well, he just can't say so.

Your right, the rims DO look nice, sort of BMW ish euro look, but the fact that there are bigger tires in the back... kinda gets to me, just my honest opinion.

yea the 18x9 is kinda overkill in the rear. it kills performance because the rear wheels are kinda dead weight.

Looks great! j-lines in Hialeah, who would've thought? :D

lol, those pics don't look like Hialeah...I'd definitely invest in better lugs/locks, though.

Okay, Kenshin... yell rice. We all listen to the person who yells uproarously without giving any thought (sadly it's true quite often).

yescadog said it best... or rather put it best

is it about looks or performance..?

If Abe wants to have an agressive looking stance, cheers to him. If you want to call it the "rwd look" good for you, but to me personally it's nothing about performance, that agressive stance is worth it.

Sorry, kind of off topic... but has anyone downsized their wheels on the tC?

I think it looks kick ___. Not everyone races there cars on the street, so who needs tho 100% performance everyday. If you are going to track the thing I imagine you wouldnt use your 18's anyway, because those tires would get expensive quick.

I have to agree it looks euroish, mainly like the Audis'. Looks nice
