bronze=======================> chrome silver ===================> hyper gunmetal

so im gonna get these :D

not sure when but these will be my next set of wheels!

i wanna get 18s but i feel that seen as how i already have 17s should i just get teh 17x8 version of these or get the 18x8.5? both will have the concaved look to it but im just wondering which would look better, im not worried about wheel gap because well im slammed on H&R coilovers. and im not worried about rubbing because my fenders are rolled infact they are getting straighted out at the body shop now

and should i get the ceramic bronze or the chrome silver. idc what anyone says these wheels in chrome would look sick on the tC

thats what i was thinking, i have bronze wheels (stock) on the car now, and i have gold feathers in my basement (which are for sale for a really good price and ill ship them!) and im really thinkin 18s but i have 225s for a 17 wheel and they are nice ones that i would think about using for new ones, but idk if these would look good in 17s, i think that extra inch would make a big difference.... idk tho the 17s are cheaper too...

you better pray you never touch a curb with those dave... i dunno.. im kinda against those on a tc... a little to luxurious IMO for the car..you can..or i can.. get works for alot less then what you would pay for those in 17-"18"

here is some info im going to slide your way... wait 1.2 more months... work will be lowering prices on alot of ther wheels for clearance... they are going to be introducing a 4 new wheels... i would wait for those..or get the lower priced works... *cough cough* meisters...

well thats the thing man, im tryin to go the luxurious route, hence the wood grain, and soon to be leather

but yea send me some pms about the works cus id rock those too, and i hardly ever curb wheels, i think the last time i curbed a wheel was begining of 06 with the stockies, and tust me when i say this they wont be daily driven, def not on RI roads...

I think you should rock the 18's. Thats what I did with the wheels I have on my car. I think the extra inch would look nice. You could run 225's on the 18's and you would still have a good bit of meat to cover those wheels. Sell the 225's for the 17's and get 225's for the 18's.

wheres teh last post you made, i saw it before i posted but when i did it was gone.... somethin about the tires. i probably will sell the tires. or just put them on my stock wheels for when im not cruisin on the 18s

BlizZard

WOW I hate chrome, BUT!!! those rims make it an exception seriously
I would go with the bronze or chrome silver.
And if you really are going with the luxurious route, with the wood grain and leather, than you have to get 18s

FD RX7. the door handles give it away (theyre above the door next to the window glass)


If the offset is the same, the 8.5 will have a minutely more concave look.
I dont understand your reason. Since you already have 17s, you want to get the 17x8? I figure you'd want the 18's since you already have 17s. Unless youre saying you want to reuse your current 17" tires.
I say get the 18x8.5

yea im really leaning towards teh chrome silver just cus its not gangsta chrome but its still stylish

well my reasoning was that i could get teh 17x8 and use my BFG tires on these, or i could sell my current rims, put the BFGs on the stock wheels and get the 18s. i really want the best look possible, and these wheels really caught my eye and i think they would def do the job for me

WOW

Wow! Nice wheels! Those will look good if you're shooting for the VIP look. I like the chrome silver the best because it compliments darker colored cars nicely. Go for 18's dude!

ok im leaning more towards teh 17x8s ONLY because of money issues.

i dont think the difference will be that great, plus i think 17s look great on the tC anways.

AND! i already have brand new never been driven on tires for them in the basement.

AND! if i sell my konigs for my asking price (i wont budge on it) then i will be that much closer to getting the wheels that fit me better. and i think i would go Ceramic Bronze, because idk how the chrome would look in 17s

I would wait for Works...
