Default how does the tc look on aftermarket 17's

Well i got a chance to get some 17's for almost half price



I really like em but I dont want the rims to look to small.
They dont have em in 18 or 19 anymore

Anyone have pics of thier tc on 17's? I relize that tock is 17 but aftermaket will look a little differant.

thanks

The ones that look "small" are typically darker colors with a polished lip. All depends on the wheel...

And I'm sure there are PLENTY of pics of 17s in here:

Haha... ya... but there are a LOT of pics in it.

But most 17s look just fine IMO. There are just a few that end up looking like they're smaller. Those Konigs would probably be fine too...

Any wheel will look better on a dropped tC.

It's all about the offset. Stock has a +45 offset. The lower the number, the further the wheel will stick out. List the offsets in 17s and we'll tell you what size to go with.

I have those on my FM except theyre the gunmetal ones. They aren't bad looking on the car for the price. I've gotten mixed reviews on what size they look though. One friend said that they look like 18's, but then one friend said they make the rim look smaller. I think it's all personal preference. I like them though. And definitely drop the car
