if you want volks, buy these....


5x100, 18x7.5, et37, 225/35/18 Falkens with 90% tread left.
These will fit so nicely on a tC.
$1500 OBO.
This guy has been trying to sell these for months!!!
I bet you can get him down to $1300. Thats an awesome deal for the condition of the wheels and tires. I almost bought these months ago, but I found my SSR's instead (and paid alot more).

I dont want others to think i'm part of a scheme to financially exploit them. lol.
Besides, if a deal with the seller goes sour, I've released any liablity on my part.

my bad..i thought you were talking about volks.. i really like the VS-XX but if your gonna get them you have to go big. like 19's. i have seen plenty of tC's with mesh wheels and they all get small sizes so the wheels look horrible. these are a european style wheel(IMHO) and they shouldnt belong on a tC unless you do it right, you seem to be but you need to go +1...JMO

be carfully with covering your VIN. I don't know about where your from but here in Chicago they will tow your car for covering your VIN. I have my car towed for it an they told me that i can do that because they can't check to see if the car is stolen.

im looking at the VSxx in 18x8 fronts and 18x9 rears 38mm front and 33mm rear.....
i think they will ok, with tires it is about 3200.00

if i go 19" (same offsets and widths) its like 3500.00 so i have not totally made up my mind, i have 19's now and they look nice, but they are heavy (axis wheels) i called my connection at Aspec and those are the prices im looking at......

we'll see......

im not worried about it, they dont tow cars for things like that...some agenciese acutally encourage it. about the rims..there works, they wont be as heavy as your axis wheels. i would get 19, whats 300 more? but down the line...tires and stuff, you may wanna consider
