Default calling all wheel gurus!

ok, so ive been lookin for a traditional 5 spoker for my tC. Originally i was looking at the AXis Hiros, but then came to the sad conclusion that my poor butt cannot afford them.

next best right??

Ive pretty much settled on the Enkei EVO-5's.

I just wanted to know what offset I should get dropped on my tein h.techs. I DO NOT want to rub, but i also want them as aesthetically pleasing and flush as possible.

my next questions regarding these rims are color choice.....

im having a VERY hard time distinguishing on whether or not i should buy the hyperblack or the bronze.


btw i have a Flint Mica..I think both colors would work, but i want your opinion also.





If someone could take the time to photoshop these also it would be greatly appreciated.

here are some small pics to photoshop on:



P.S. yes this is when my car was on stock height(winter sucks, no time to take pics)..if someone could add the rims and lower it to i would reaaly appreciate the help.



but please remember to give me advice on offset and rubbing!!


BY THE WAY: I checked enkei's site and they only have 42 and 35 for offsets for the 18x7.5 thx

Both colors are very nice! Depends on what you're going for; stealth=gunmetal. If you want to stand out; bronze. If I were you I would go with a +35 offset. It will look pretty much flush. You shouldn't rub if you go with a 7.5" rim. Hope this helps!

Check under my post New Enkei's on the way there's a flint mica with evo 5 on it pictured. I bought the bronze haven't received them yet. I don't know how to put pics from one post to another sorry.

Like I stated earlier; H Tech Springs drop the tC about as much as the TRD Springs. (1.25") A +35 offset is perfect for this kind of drop.
