I got rims!
Finally. I've been talking about doing it for a while, but today was the day.
O.Z. Racing Ultraleggera rims, wrapped in Dunlop Direzza tires, courtesy of Just Tires.
I'll post pics soon. I'm extremely happy with the rims and tires, I can definately feel the weight loss, 3 lbs per rim.
They're the same size as stock, but 1/2 an inch wider.
I doubt anyone will be interested, but I now have a set of Stock rims for sale, with Potenza II tires mounted.
**Daytime Pics, finally, for those who asked:
*edit, Pics!

They're the 'matte' stock finish found on the 2005 edition tC's. I must warn you, they do have curb damage around the edges. I can post pictures of them too when I take pictures of the new rims.
If you're still interested, just send me a PM with what you think they're worth. I'm trying to recoup a little of the money I spent buying the new rims, but I'd rather get you pictures of the condition they're in before you decide how much you'd be willing to pay for them.

I'd like to see some Tommy Kaira's, Desmonds.
Or these: http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/90761297
Great choice on the wheels. For those who don't know the OZ Supperleggera's: http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e59757798

I put some daytime pics up. Thanks, and I've been meaning to paint the calipers. I'm going red. :D
I also love the fact that O.Z. made the rims for the McLaren SLR. Mine aren't as nice (lol), but they look nice enough on the tC.

nice to see some pics..
i wanted to get Motegi Trak Lites for the longest of time until i found out that they were made in china.
now i am almost dead seat on a set of Ultralegarras, in 17x8 so i can fit a 245/40 tire.
i love the look of hte wheels, they look like stock and im gonna get them in black so they will look like painted stocks.
