I just got my wheels on Saturday from Wheelguyz! The best part was the price...$659.00 complete. That's wheels, tires, mounting, balancing, lugs and shipping. The wheels are a copy of the Racing Hart C2 17" on Nangkang 205/40/17. I think that I will be buying some more for my Grand Prix as well. The only issue was the lugs that they sent were to tall for the center caps so I needed to buy some more from Autozone. Check my profile for the pics. :D [/img]

I dont wanna just lower ours cause I dont think it would be very good in 6" of snow when it is 1" off the ground so I am gonna wait for some coilovers.

I'm glad someone can vouch for them.. Wheelguyz are a local company for me. I am going to get their Racing Hart GT5 (TRDs) in 17's so I can have a little thicker tire on the road.
As soon as I get the cash I'm going to give them a holler!

Thats still a huge gap!! Black hides that i gues. also because the spokes of the rims come all the way out, so it gives you the illusion of a bigger rim. sick rims btw... what kind are they?

Has anyone given it much thought to LIFT the LAVA ? I am talking about, well considering lifting it next year and installing 33" Mudders under it ......

Thanks for the tip.
Just what these forums are for...
Not a big fan of drop either.
No offense to people who drop, but that mod suggest a high speed racing modification to me.
..I have trouble associating high speed racing with our 100hp boxes. Maybe if I were a racer I would be more into it.
I think both of these scions look peppy and quick. The gap looks proportionate.
you car looks great as it is. I like 17's as opposed to 18's too.
Have you noticed differences in handling, pick-up etc?

I haven't really noticed any difference in performance. I have been trying to pay attention to the sounds that are coming from the wheels. I just wanted to make sure that nothing was rubbing, etc. The offset is 38mm and I was told by many people that offset is fine, but when I am rolling it still sounds weird. I am assuming that noises that I am hearing are from the tires. :? Thanks for the compliments :D

Yo. This is about 2.5 years overdue but...what kind of wheels are those?Brand?... 18x7.5?...what are the tire specs?...they're nice! By the way....you know anybody wanting to sell now or in the future their TRD RH 18" wheels or 18" RH GT5's? Peace.

$660 shipped for new wheels lugs and tires is cheap!
Most of my wheels are double the price, used, and you're lucky if you get tires..
