Need opinion on rims
 
Hey I've been trying to decide for a while now. I'm deciding on new wheels and tires for my Scion tC Super White. Let me know what you guys think will look best:

1. Enkei EDR9 (Set of 4: $588.00)

2. OZ Ultraleggera (Set of 4: $968.00)

3. Enkei PF01 (Set of 4: $1116.00)

I'm leaning towards the Enkei PF01s

Don't mean to sound like a total noob but as long it fits I'm good. What do you mean by horrible wheel specs?

Horrible as in Bad Offset And Width.

Really need to consider the Wheel Width & Offset....Go look in the "Wheel & Tire" section on here...There is a TON of resources explaining Offset and Wheel Width & Tires.

But doesn't Tirerack.com check fitment on their rims for the specific car model they put for sale? The rims I've chosen were from the list I've got after entered my vehicle year/model.

TeeCizzle is wrong and not very helpful.

Those wheels you have chosen will fit fine, and will fit like stock. if all you are going for is a stock wheel fitment (as in no camber required and does not stick out any farther), then your golden.

I'd personally go with the first ones, in the 18x7.5.

In the future, should you want to make them more flush with the fender, buy some spacers.

TotalChaos 09-24-2012 02:22 PM

I was looking into the O.Z.s b/c they are on sale at Tirerack right now but the offset was +48 while stock is +45 (I think). If you get these, I would suggest spacers of some sort. All of the ones you listed though would look good on a tC regardless!

Ok appreciate the input guys. I'll choose one by this week and place an order. I also need tires to go with them. I was thinking of just getting the rims and tires from tirerack.com. Before I jump on the tires, are there things to keep in mind? I'm going through tirerack.com so I'll be choosing from a list of results I come up with after I enter my vehicle type.

Enkei PF01's indeed. If you look on here there is a thread of other members reviewing different tires that they have tried. Let me look for it for you.

nguyener 10-05-2012 05:36 AM

Here you go, it was actually sticky'd. Oh and I would suggest going with the 18's. That is just me though.. Good luck with your choice and be sure to post pictures when you make your decision and get them on the car!

Honestly these are my first choice, but that's just me. If you're absolutely set on one of those three I would go with the RP01's. What's your current suspension setup? If you're lowered at all I really prefer the look of 17's, but if you're not you might want to go with 18's if that's what you like. Also, as far as tires go you've just got to consider what you're going to be using them for. I see that you're located in NY so are you going to be using these year round? Just remember that in the end the only opinion that matters is yours. You're the one that has to look at them everyday so just make they make you happy :icon_smile:

I feel like (personally) 18's make scions in general look like a roller skate, unless they are slammed beyond functional height.

I say get the set of wheels you like, and get some good tires!

PF01's
