Nice, but the wheels really don't come out, cause they are the same color as the car. They are to close to the look of the OEM wheels, that they really don't do much for me. Just my 2 pennies. But congrats nonetheless, if your happy that's all that matters.

I thought that too.. but they look really good in person. The polished lip catches the light and makes them pop a bit. It's my gfs car anyway, so I wanted to keep it kind of sedate and classy.

Yea the rear rim looks a little fuzzy in both side shots.

thats 100% photoshopped, the windows have the same reflections, there is now way you can replecate that unless you left the car there and changed the tires in the same exact spot, clearly photoshopped

Yea you are an idiot. Cars generally don't move when the wheels are off. Your "theory" is exactly what happend. The car stayed stationary while I swapped wheels and tires.

its definately not chopped...take a look at the stop sign, the position of the car in relation to it is completely diffrent, so next time you wanna make an A$$ umption, do the research

where are the centercaps? or do you have to pay seperate for those? some volk dealers are shady and make you pay extra for them..........

Pics do them no justice. Probably look 100Xs better in person. Might I suggest you look into painting the calipers black? For that 'stealth' look and to set off the color of the rims.

1) You were an idiot to post that stupidity.
2) YOU were the "e-thug"
3) Nobody cares if you like them.

its not photoshopped you can tell, in the first pic the sun is hitting the whole car in the side profile pic the sun is only hitting the front of the car. Look at the detail before you make statements people. Nice rims thou!!!

Good choice of highly quality wheels. Finally, someone with conservative taste.

it doesnt look chopped to me the car isnt sitting in the same spot if you really look at the pic BUT anyways. The wheels to me dont seem like an upgrade Like I had to scroll back up to notice the difference. For some reason they kinda look stock to me.

The last picture at an angle are starting to grow on me, but my first initial impression was like, Whateverrrrrr! Its not pimpin in anyway, that's a guarrantee

Now the first pic, with the stocks are starting to look 1990's or somewhat throwback or outdated.
I need to stop looking at tires.... theres no difference (unless u stare for 2 or 3 minutes)

+35 offset sits perfectly flush with the tC. I would have chose a different color though but nice rims.

This is my girlfriends car... she is 28, not 20. It doesn't need to bling, nor do I want it to. I wanted it to look like a much classier car then the $17K price tag suggests, and stand out from all the stock TCs running around here.

Personally I hate gray scions. Those rims look like stocks.

I think they kick a$$. Not flashy and high quality. I'm just not into the whole "2 inch crome lip" craze.

Don't get me wrong, I like the deep lip look...just not on ugly ricer wheels.

My car has about an inch and a half.

It's an 04..same difference.

Its got 500+ to the wheels now with a ported stock blower. I'll be getting a turbo kit for it next year and skipping the larger supercharger. :)

I agree, the offset is perfect! I'm usually not a fan of those wheels, but it definately makes the car more classy and perhaps more "European"?

Yes that was the look I was going for. I wanted upscale, not race.

I absolutely love these wheels - they are probably the nicest wheels I've seen put on a Scion. If you don't mind me asking, how much were they (with tires)?

You definetly got what you were trying to do. They RESEMBLE stock, but you can totally tell the difference. Not flashy whatsoever, clean. Props on the choice in brand also.

Thanks for the compliments.

I actually got these used. I found them on Craigslist and snatched them up. Their condition is about 9.5/10. Depending on style, Volks in this size would sell for $1600-$2000 for rims only.
