I am interested in these wheels for my silver tC .. I'm looking at the 18x8.5" ones. I'm mostly concerned with show.

Those are some of my favorite rims and I think they would look really good on the tC. For tires I would probably get 225/40/18.

Those look nice, I'm thinking about gettin a pair of axis wheels too...I get my black tc in 5-14 days, it was released to the dealer...and I think these would look badass!

but im like you, curious of the tire size. I got 17's on my other car with 40 series, but these would be 18's with 40 series...so I dunno...I wanted the rims in 17 maybe, but they dont make em. :-/ lemme know if u get em! post up some pics!

Everyone on Scionlife loves Axis wheels--so I think you should get them, alot of people are close to the company as well--so customer support *shouldn't* be a problem.

Axis wheels are killer, I love how they have a great lip! I also love those new gloss black wheels, by Axis and Racing Hart.

i like that a lot. but i cant tell if its a glossy surface on the spokes or not. im not big on shiny rims. i like a more matte finish

it looks like the spokes are flat silver and the dish/lip is polished/shiny... hope that isnt too much silver on a silver car :?

Classic 5 spoke with polished lip? You can't go wrong. Good taste. 8)

Those are nice. Anything is better than the stock wheels. I think they do absolutely nothing for the appearance of the tC. I went with 19" Konigs for my flint mica.

At least they are better than hubcaps or 16" alloys.
