Default In the Market for Deep Dish Wheels..

I need help out of my area on this subject. This will be my daughter's tC in about a year, trying to transform to more of her liking.

Is there any Deep Dish Wheels for the tC? I have an 08' Flint Mica. Pictures would be very helpful if possible, thx.

Well this all depends if it is lowered or on stock suspension and just how deep you are looking to go and what size you want.

My recommendation would be:



Axis Decades 18x8 with the 3" rear lip to give it a nice staggered look.
Better hurry though because these wheels have been discontinued and they are running for $500 a set without tires at certain retailers which is an awesome price. They are just trying to blow out the decades so if you are looking to buy now u can get em at a good price!

NOTE: Only downside to these wheels is you will not be able to rotate tires without physically taking the tires off the rims and remounting and balancing!

Right now it is bone stock but will be lowered with TRD Springs.

She wants 18's at least a 2 inch lip.

That is a good price, not looking to spend too much. First time driver probably will be rubbing a few curbs, lol.

lol yeah I'd go with them then. They have a 2" lip in the front and a 3 1/4" lip in the back. +40 offset on the front wheels and +35 offset on the rear wheels.
They are very nice wheels and very popular in the Scion community.

You will also have no problems with these wheels on TRD springs. No rubbing or fitment issues.

Go with a 225/40/R18 tire and you will be set and she will be extremely happy

Here is a link to the thread of a site sponsor selling the full set (4) for $540 shipped. I would ask him if he still has some because if so you
just got an awesome price on these! I've seen them still being sold for close to $1400 per a set without tires. They MSRP at $350 a wheel.

Ya, I wouldn't go to extreme on a first time drivers car. i have some nice deep lips on my professors, but those are made by SSR.
I think one of my wheels will cost you just as much all 4 of those decades haha.

But in all seriousness, Google is your friend.

lol in your other thread about the same thing I posted that you should look into Ben's works, for the price they are going for it would be a much better option than cheap axis wheels.

But this time I will actually post a pic

...first time drivers are not careful and no offense but women (dont kill me) are never paying attention. If you get your daughter expensive wheels that she is not paying for, she will not appreciate them. She will destroy them in 2 months max!
