No they are just right wheels;) 17x8, 15.6 lbs, real performance wheels not some wagon wheels that look "cool" but have no real value to a car that is being built to actually be fast. I really wanted 15 or 16's at the most but could not find anything in those size that were the right offset or width.

To those that just want to look cool, do so

To some of us, looking cool may be considered but not at the cost of having as much fun actually driving the car instead of looking at it or being looked at

Not slamming anybody, do as you will, just do not call my wheels small, lol!!!!

Very nice I considered 18's as they would look nicer without going totally nuts but I just could not do it, I did come close though!!

I have had one set of 19's for 6 months and never again, not on cars like this anyway!!!!! Even if low in weight they move the weight out further(tires generally weigh the same for the same width and diameter but shorter sidewalls) not a good thing for performance.

Guess its a good thing I didn't roll out there with my Paseo. We might have taken the show. (Well, my old Paseo... the new one is still mostly stock on the outside.)
Not many people in that class I guess? Not many 2 door Toyotas that are ever hooked up. I've seen some 2 door Tercels that can kick some ___.

Anyway. My AP tC is staying stock.... ish. I've had it 1 week, already have a underglow kit on it. After a sub, maybe tint, i'm stopping there for a while. Gotta get a kit, paint job, and maybe air ride for the Paseo first.

I love my SSM but lately it's the most common color I've been seeing for a tC and I bought the tC to be different

If I could, I'd get an Azure Pearl as a 2nd one...

I noticed today that I see about as many rare RS 1.0s as I do the APs. I'm quite pleased w/ my color choice.

Bought an AP tc about 3 weeks ago. Should be getting it at the end of the month. I cant wait.
I was gonna get a white one but i saw a AP on the lot and my mind was changed instantly.
Everyone has a white car anyway so I'm very happy with my choice. I hate waiting this long though its so hard

I am very glad to see that Azure Pearl owners are coming together since there are not a lot of us

Finally got the call from the dealer on Monday. My AP '06 is due in port in a couple weeks . Initially placed an order for a '05, but took almost 2 months for the dealer to get one since I insisted on the SAB. Oh, and the audio control on the steering wheel doesn't hurt either .

I'm a guy and obviously (look at my screen name) I have an Azure Pearl tC. But people joke about my car and say it's a girly car. Kinda annoys me, but damn it I like that car.
I'm not effeminate or ___ or anything like that! Anyway, A/P tC drivers unite! Love this car and I don't care what anyone thinks! I think it looks so hot at night. It really stands out more than the other colors.

But I wonder, are there any other guy drivers with this color??? Do you get picked on because you have a girly colored car?

I've had many very fine chicks compliment my car. I never had any compliments with either Integra I owned. I've actually had more compliments in the AP tC than I did in my 94 RX7 which I still think is the most beautiful car ever. Too bad they don't last. I really love the tC though.
I'm seriously impressed with the quality at the price I paid. This is really a cheap car for what you get. I looked at a bunch of other cars all 24+ to have what the tC did. The only one that was really that much quicker was the RSX. I've been a Honda boy too long, I needed the switch.

So far, I'm really happy with it.
