Hey, im interested in buying some new rims for my SSM tC. I dont want to spend money on new tires so i was wondering if people would be willing to post pics and descriptions of new rims they bought for their tC's. Prices and where you bought them from would be helpful too. Thanks.

If you go to tires.com (discount tire of america) they have an interactive display that you can see rims on your color scion. They have good prices on the wheels and shipping also. When you get the wheels, just go to a trusted tire shop and say you would like them to switch your tires to the new wheels. Make sure you get the same size wheels though, 17x7, and w/ correct offset. Good luck!

Noticing this post, I just put a bid on some wheels with an offset of 48mm, will this require new tires?

Offset is just basically how flush your wheels are going to be w/ your fender. Compare your front wheels to your rear ones right now, notice how the rear wheels seem to be tucked in? If you get a wheel with less offset in the rears, they will be pushed out more to the fender.

oh, it won't require new tires. As long as it's 17x7 or maybe even 17x7.5, it should work well. (or 18x7 18z7,4)
