How big/small do you like it?

 

I like 19's. I think they are the perfect size for the tC... looks wise.

 

18 for aesthetics, but with the amount of power our cars make, 17. Ideally, I take the smallest rim possible that will clear the brakes, for performance purposes, with high quality tires wide enough to be at the limit of traction for the given power.

I meant to vote for 17, but I picked the wrong one by accident (damn blackberry and opera mini browser)

 

I have the 18's from the factory. they look nice but like djtc said it seems to rob so much of the performace. i'm looking into getting some 16's for the front the next time i take it out to the drag strip. it should be a big difference my car w/ i/h/e and the 18's made only 144 hp on the dyno while others with the same set-up have made 154 hp on the 17's.

 

hmm i had a 20" and above...but i guess that didnt get added in.

 

17" - Performance

18" - Good balance between performance and looks

19" + Looks/Baller Status

 

i wouldnt go bigger than 18"

 

18s imo is the ideal size for the tc's body chasis.

17s look too small on it

19s look alright with a lipped wheel, but poses some performance issues.

 

18's.... not too big.... not too small.

 

amen

 

18x8 w/ a 45 offset = Happiness!!!!

 

28's on the rear 26's on the front

everything else is to small

 

i want a donk tC with 30's yo

 

lol! 18 for me!

 

18's for me. although 17's do look nice if u give it the right offset.

 

i took off my 19s on friday, and boy what a change in acceleraiton. im doing new wheels so if i go with 19 again they gotta be light

 

18's.

 

I haven't driven a tC with +17s.

However, from experience, my old Corolla had the factory 15s and it had decent acceleration. I upgraded my rims to 17s and it felt like it was running on 3 cylinders. It did corner a little better.


So I'm guessing the same will apply to the tC.

I'm happy with the 17s.

 

bigger wheels = better handling, hence better cornerings.

cons = bigger wheels = bumpier on streets. (or at least from experience, in the city streets)

 

18's do it for me. Although if I was going strictly for a performance car, I'd chose 17's. 16's are way too small IMO.
