Nice... I personally wouldn't go larger than 18" on a tC, but that looks really slick.

Hey, I was thinking about ordering those exact rims! I have the TRD shocks/springs/swaybar, and the guy selling the rims told me I would have to make cuts under the wheel well if I wanted to use the 19's with the lowering springs. Did you have to cut anything? How is the ride... is it bearable? Do you have rubbing issues?

Who want sell you the rim? Do you know the person or company name? There are not many this type rim in USA, if you do see one i belive they selling 2000+.

No need to cut, it has no problem to ride on it. It will rubbing when you hit the road hard on holes and bump, it has no other problem that i know.
other then that, the wheel with shocks work perfectly fine.

price is not bad, if you want it get it. This series has not many set in USA, once it sold out you may not get it anymore. Until some one get more from Japan.
