Default New Wheels...

I am SO sorry, I know I keep debating on which wheels, but I found one last choice to add to my mix, and I'm going to decide in the next two weeks.

What do you guys/gals think of these?



I can get a set of 18s with Toyo Proxes 4's for about $1700, shipped.

Opinions?

I like them. I think those would look really nice on the tC. This prob should be in the wheel and tire thread though.

I like it, but with $1700, I will go with g-game wheels or those lightweight enkei or 5zigen wheels. But that's just me lol

I'm not saying I won't go with the 5zigen's I am looking at, but these would be SO easy to keep clean and are nice and light, but also simple.

Not sure - I change my mind every damn day.

If I look around any more I'll have my Viper before I get rims for this damn tC!

The hard part is really only seeing pix here of the ones people have - they're all so different in real life.
I also don't want rims that take 30-minutes each to detail every week.

Agreed 100% but I noticed you were choosing between a couple others right? I made a list of the TOP 2 I wanted, did a photoshop, made a pro & con list for both. Then decision time :D I think that would help a lot in speeding things up for you.

Oh you saw them around here hehe the italian ones. I'm still looking into the powder coating the inserts FM. It's a hard task at that, but I keep my fingers crossed!

Good luck on yr rims! And if you ever make a thread with poll choices I'll vote

OK, OK. I get it.
Anyone like any particular vendor over another?
I see a few offer free shipping, etc.

i see your in the 626, not sure what part, but i would check out AUTOHAUS, they are located on valley in the city of industry.

they are a small local shop, but they will beat almost anyones prices. they do price match or beat, and they are local so need to worry about shipping. if your interested i can find the number and addy. they can get you anything you want.
