View Full Version : Chrome wheels on a csm tc what do u think?????
scion06_tc 04-08-2006, 06:47 AM I'am thinking about getting some chrome wheels for my tc not funky ones. I havent seen alot of chrome rims on tc's and i'am kind of tired of black with polished lip rims it seems like everybody has them. Dont get me wrong they look good i just want something different maybe bronze. or some like this what do u guys think????

Kilo6_one 04-08-2006, 07:31 AM no chrome, it looks cheap..........go bronze if you want to be different
scion06_tc 04-08-2006, 07:42 AM Thats one of the reasons i'm holding back plus i live in chicago and any thing with chrome gets stolen haha even hubcaps. I saw a tc csm with some black rims with the polished lip and it looked really nice i might just have to be like everybody else cause it really makes the car stand out.
I agree w/ kilo6. It looks tacky on import cars. Chrome belongs on Escalades and 300Ms.
mandangalo 04-08-2006, 07:56 AM many people wouldn't like them, but hey, its your car. also, chrome wheels generally weigh a lot.
Hyghgynx 04-08-2006, 07:57 AM Don't do it. I'm sure if you looked hard enough, you could find some rims to your liking that aren't chrome. Besides, chrome is everywhere. Leave it on the Chargers, 300s, Altimas, Impalas, Hondas, etc. (I could go on and on.) IMHO sometimes it looks ok on these cars, but not on the tC. I'm sure peeps who have chrome on their tCs will chime in any second... :P
scion06_tc 04-08-2006, 08:13 AM Thanks guys plus mandangalo is right i just checked the weight on those crome wheels on the pic i put they weigh 28 pounds each I'm thinking about

What do u guys think
Hyghgynx 04-08-2006, 08:49 AM ^^If I didn't have my 5Zigen RX-6s, I would defintely be all over those Enkeis! (As I have stated in another thread.) Those are hot as :flame: ! Hawt baby! Hawt!! Stay away from bronze. Doesn't go well with SSM/CSM color.
scion06_tc 04-08-2006, 09:10 AM I'm going with the Enkie pkr cause i want to get a CF hood,gas lid,side skirts,and apr front lower spliter so brone will look funny to many colors black and silver all the way for me!!!!!
scion06_tc 04-08-2006, 09:12 AM Oh by the way Hyghgynx when i first saw your car with the 5-zigens i fell in love it looks clean I'm thinking about those to thanks for all the help!!!!
Hyghgynx 04-08-2006, 09:23 AM Np! Glad I could help you out. I NEED better pics posted on my 'profile' since i've gotten it lowered. The Springs have settled now, so it looks really nice! The weather here in CA has been the pits! When I'm off from work, it rains like its monsoon season. When I'm at work, the weather is ok for taking pics. About my RX-6s, I wanted a rim that had clean lines like the tC. The look of my tC will stay stock. (No bodykits.) I was really fortunate with the Center caps. On the discounttiredirect.com website, the caps are silver. When I actually got my rims, the caps were CF. Hopefully, you too will have the same luck with whichever rims you choose. BTW-What kind of tires are you looking at?

MJVsTC 04-08-2006, 11:56 PM tc + chrome wheels = NO
By friend has a Burgundy Eclipse with chrome wheels and I thought the same thing at first too. But it actually looks really sharpl Not to mention the stage three turbo that spins them...
scion06_tc 04-09-2006, 03:52 AM Ha it was one of those nights when you cant sleep cause your thinking about what to do next u guys should know what i mean. Hyghgynx i dont know what kind of tires to get i want everything good since this is my first set of brand new good rims plus i dont want any cheap stuff on my car its my first brand new car so i want to keep clean and simple. I agree with no bodykit cause i love how the car flows perfect.
bBlover 04-09-2006, 04:15 PM Those don't look so good. Go silver , black, or bronze.
Hyghgynx 04-09-2006, 04:46 PM Hyghgynx i dont know what kind of tires to get i want everything good since this is my first set of brand new good rims...
Depends on your budget. If you go with 18s, they can get pricey. I personally have Pirelli PZero Nero M+S. And after all the wet weather here, I can honestly say these are GREAT tires! They handled the wet roads like a champ! Try this link.

You can compare brands and find what you're looking for there. Plus, they have awesome after-purchase customer service!
