You're not going to rub, even on 20s, with TRD springs.

But for 18's, you should get a thick 5-spoked silver wheel. Sort of oem looking. I hated my old wheels, the ever-popular black with chrome lip. It was so played out.

well with the trd drop 18's will look sweet. Style wise i would stay away from the black with polished lip. It looks good but yea a lil played out. I would go with a gunmetal or silver. I would also go with a low spoke number like maybe 10-5. Everyone has mesh but i like the enkie rsv's and edgeracing is a good place to get them. but then again thats the only place i shop for rims just good deals and service but good luck with you decision and purchase.

I actually think h techs are a better choice than trd.
trd's are good because its under warranty but not that great of a drop.

in regards to wheels, I like the konig crosshairs look good on silver tcs.

5 spoke hyper black also looks good. Black wheels on a silver tc looks alright but IMO light colored wheels look nicer.

iF you want to stand out more you can get gold rims.

Send them back, or trade them to somebody here. A warrantied drop like that will sell instantly here.

Sounds similar to scion_jon and davedave. I know dave had Hotchkis, but his were super-low after settling for a long time. Springs are weird.

It depends on what style of wheel you are interested in. I think color would be very important and I would do hyper black, matt black, gunmetal, matt gunmetal, silver, and hyper silver. You can probably get away with bronze, but its very "iffy". You can check www.edgeracing.com. We are having some pretty good sales.
