where ever you got that info from, its wrong. The s6:f has two different bolt patterns on every set of rims.

combinations areeee:

5x100/5x4.5
4x100/4x4.5

(For 17, 18, aaaand 19" rims)

aaaaand the tc is 5x100....so theeere for: right bolt pattern.

EDIT: there are a few other combinations, but i figured that was enough to show you. there is the correct bolt pattern for the tC in each diameter rim. if you'd like to double check that, here is the pdf:

It's not flashy, I think it'd go well on a flint mica.

on a lancer:

I rock 18" X5:Fs in all-gunmetal. Haven't seen another tC with THAT color. All of the other tCs have
colored piping. I get LOTS of compliments on mine. Just do it. You won't be sorry.

Have you seen them in person?

They honestly look cheap.
I saw them (the bronze ones) on a matte black Lexus IS:F widebody, and they still looked bad.

They looked too fake.

Yeah.
I originally wanted the X5:F's, but after seeing them in person I almost puked.
They look great on Five:AD's website on the flint mica/orange tC, but in person the orange outline around the rim made it look like a toy.
Even without the orange outline it looked bad. It seems like the finish was too matte (this goes for not only the X5:F's, but every Five:AD rim at the show).

If you want them, go for it.
I wouldn't, just based off of how cheap they were when I saw them in person.

is this your opinion on every finish? silver, gunmetal and flat black? i'll have to check them out closely at a show or something, i havent seen them in person yet.


EDIT: oh oh! i'll make a special request for "stealth chrome" s6:f 's!

These are by far a quality rim. Just because you do not like them does not make them 'cheap'.

They look 'too matte'? I don't know if you saw prototypes or one offs at your show. Personally, they look fine to me color-wise...

That's a pic taken in the shade. Here's another in the sun...

(Too bad photobucket.com makes the prints you upload darker. ) To each their own.

I never said they were a cheap rim ,Hyghgynx, I said they look cheap.
So, in other words, the finish looks cheap.

And yes Joe, I saw every finish, and they all looked the same.

If you like the finish, there's no reason for you not to get them, I'm just telling you my opinion.
I will say you do get what you pay for, though.

^That's a broad statement. I thought you were referring to the rim and not just the finish.
It's all good. I've seen plenty of rims in this price range and the quality is a lot better than others.
But to the OP; if you like them, get them. Don't let us influence you one way or another.

Yeah, that was my fault with the broad statement I made.

And Hyghgynx obviously agrees with what I said;
If you like them, get them. Just because people over 'teh intarwebz' don't like them doesn't mean it's the end of the world.
