|
|
I'm looking to upgrade my Raze R74's to these (about identical but I love the small differences) but can't really find a place that has them that is well known besides tire-rack, and I can't see their offset there.
Any help would be great. More specifically i'm looking for the black w/ red stripe ones. |

I am guessing theres two versions, the black/red lip and then the black/red lip time attacks?
The only difference is the sticker on the spokes, which I want also.

Still having trouble finding them for a tC in the correct offset. |

Got a page where you found 5x100? I can only get 114.
Also 43 is terrible, isn't 35 what is best for a tC? Talking about 17's, since thats what i'm looking to get.
Guess I could get wheel spacers, but then i'm totally belittling the fact of having gram lights. Apparently my style of baller wheels just aren't meant for a tc. :( |

one of many sites you could get them from...
http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/gramlights/57maximum.htm
for the time attack one, add an extra $30/wheel |

17x8 +43 isn't too bad. The 8'' width helps push the wheel out some.
You could always call Mackin Industries and get a custom offset made for you. |

Thanks for the info, now i'm confused with the different faces it's referring to. I want exactly whats on the WRX, lol.
I will just call tire rack and talk to someone to make sure those are the only offsets they have or can get, and how much the time attack version is and such.
Are you guys saying the wheels are weak, or the offsets available? I think their sick, thats why I cheaped out at first and got the Raze because they are identical from about 15 ft away. :P
RoJa, I was thinking that also, but i'd have to see a 17x8 with that offset to decide if I like it or not. My 225's would fit nicely on an 8inch wheel too. Definately not paying a shiton extra for a custom offset, lol. |

Don't bother calling Tire Rack. I already called about these wheels like a year ago. They can't do anything. They can't do special orders or anything.
The time attack 57 Maximums are $337 for the 17x8. And what BlizZard posted for the offsets are the only offsets available for our PCD (5x100).

the faces are the amount of concaveness it has, face 1 being the least and face 3 being the most..the more concaveness, the better :)
the wheels nice, the offsets arent great. |

Thats what I figured but theres no possibility for a face 3 on a tC, face 2 only.
Looking on tire-rack I am digging the 57Optimise too but the 7.5 has a 50 offset. WTH is wrong with Rays? Then the 8.5 isn't listed. The wheels are sick though. Would look awesome with some black rays lugs.
Need to do me some more searching around and see what the 8.5 offset is. |

face 2 is still better than face 1
for the 8.5, the offset is 43 if i'm not mistaken |

| It isn't Ray's fault. It's Scion's. They screwed up everything by having the tC 5x100. Only the sucky offsets are on 5x100 wheels because they're primarily for the Subys. |
