Default Need help on rims for BSP

So i went to Americas Tire today and got myself into trouble

I have an 06 BSP and cant decide what rims to put. I have searched and searched but cant seem to decide which rims to go with. any opinions would be great


Rays G Games 1 piece


Konig Unknowns


Enkei RSV


Most likely going to go with 18's but i hate the idea of getting rid of the stock yoko's that only have 1500 miles on them Might also go with 17's but i dont know..

the 18" wheel height won't make you rub, any additional "width" and "offset" will be the issue to address. it is a misnomer that going to 18 will make you rub. understand that with a larger wheel a "package" can be made that keeps the overall height pretty much the same as stock. the overall size of the tire and rim combined will remain pretty much "constant" regardless of a 17" or 18" wheel. when you go to an 18" wheel, the "aspect ratio" of the tire will be smaller such that side by side the 17, 18 packages could pretty much be the same height in the well.

I like the Rays. If your tC is for cruising, definitely do the 18s! I have 18s and haven't had any rub on my TRD 1.25" drop. Keep the stocks for the winter time. That way you won't damage the good rims in harsher weather. Also, you can get new and BETTER tires at America's Tire Co. for as little as $92 each!

i'm gonna tell you to go with either bronze or gunmetal, black is way over done. I'd really like to see the RS1 wheels on a BSP, thats what i'd like to do.
