Default Which Wheel?


Stock



Motegi FF5




Don't remember brand or model! lol



I'm leaning towards the Motegi FF5. The reason I'm asking is that the dumbass salesperson ordered 4 holes instead of 5... So, I could wait a week for the 5 holes or go grab those other ones tomorrow... I personally like the 5 spoke better...

I personally like the 3rd pic better, the 2nd pic looks a lot like the stock 17's IMO. But what ever you want, your money. =o)

damn... i never noticed how the FF5s did look like the stock, but only with 5 spokes. maybe that's why i liked them!!!

I concur. I like the 3rd pic better. I just think they'd look hot on that car! Let us know what brand those are if you can. But yes, it is your money, so do with it what you will. I'm sure you can wait a week for the other wheels if you want them.

I like the 2nd one even though it is pretty similar to the stock wheels. -Jayme

2nd One, Yes the 2nd rim does look like the stock rim... but if you put those on your tc.. and put your tC next to another stock tc... those rims would stick out like a sore thumb..



OH AND BY THE WAY... WHAT DOES "IMO" MEAN... i SEE PEOPLE PUT THAT.. AND USUALLY IM GOOD WITH ABBREVIATIONS.. BUT I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. its prolly simple too..

3rd one has too many spokes and the spokes need to be thicker. i say keep the stock ones.

hate to be a dick, but I don't really like either of them. I'm a huge fan of the trd's (ie not the enkeis on the scion website), but they probably cost a bit more than the two you showed. Personally, I think the stockers are pretty good, i'm keeping them. More cheese for suspension upgrades ( .81 g from c&d)

I agree, thin spokes makes the wheels look too ricey (and IMO, too japanese)
