Hey Team,
I am looking for some steel rims for the tc.
currently i have on there 18" and the car is lowered 2 inches.

I do not know rims or tires all that well and i don't know the lowest size i could possibly go down to. I have been to discount tire and belle tire and all they want to sell me is alloy rims. I heard of other tc's going as low as 15s.
Any help please?

I'm running Toyo Proxy 4 ultra high performance all season tires W rated. The size I have is wider than stock, 225/45/17 but they work very well in the snow. Its a surprise too because the rims I have weigh less than the tires. I spent about $460 shipped. The wheels I have are DR-8 Drag wheels, gunmetal. My car will be garage kept when I come to town so driving on them in the snow wont bother me too much.

Yea it seems noones plowing our road except me LMAO! I drive an hour to... I slide an hour to work every day and yesterday it took 2 hours!!! rediculous but I'm loving the cold! Still on my lo-pros and rims with drop. I hope my glow kit is still there... Loving the Zippys AutoWash on ellsworth and state which I 30$ wash all you want for the month. Underbody wash included and gets all the stuck snow. Anywho, anyone get remote start put in (manual) I know its possible but everyone wants like 100 more because its manual. All I want is an alarm system with remote start nothing schnazzy. Anyone got a place they go to? Quotes?

having it be 100 dollars more for a remote start is insane! just buy it yourself and install it. it can't be too much worse than a turbo timer. which is just splicing into the ignition wires.

Default Bumper Dilema

I'm a little stuck on what to do. I just got done doing a little work to my front bumper but I want to know what I should do in terms of the grilles. Should I still with stock (which is the cheaper option) or do the mesh grill thing. This is a Photoshop mock up. Which looks better. I think they both look awesome.

It's 3D textured vinyl. It took me a long time to apply. I'm no vinyl expert.

I think I will hold off on the grills for a while, as tempting as it is I have to save some money for the big move.

Default Mod Stickers

Okay, I triple check everything measured against the door and this is what all the mod stickers should look like this time being 100% the right size. I kind of like this setup but I still want feedback. This is still a Photoshop job. I haven't placed them yet. Comments please. Lots of them.

How's the waterfall coming. Make sure you spend more time planning it out then you end up actually working in. There is a philosophy, "measure many many times, cut once." It has worked well for me and I have far less disappointments when I do projects and they turn out to be less quality then I hope. I can't wait to see your finished product.
