I want Black 5-spoke Split rims with polished lip and I'm thinking of getting 19", but I don't want any rubbing and don't want to modify anything (rolling back the lip).
I plan on getting TRD lowering springs too. Does anyone have any ideas on which rims I can get? And what about offsetting? Here's my car.

 

what's your price range? there are TONS of 5-spoke rims out there.

 

^x2. need more details than just wanting 5 spoke. price range, rim color, noticeable lip etc.

 

I put the R-1 Hype (Black) and Chrome lip on my Flint Mica and it was the perfect fit! Also bought the Konig Hot Swaps.... With those you can change the 5 spokes to whatever color you want, there perfect for shows and jus changin up a lil bit... Deff get them from www.wheelsnext.com... Ext 211 his name is Gio.... He'll hook it up. You cant go wrong with the hot swaps!

 

I'll pay up to1500 for wheel and tire package. I'm thinking abtou 19" but i'm not sure if it's worth it since it might cause rubbing and further modification. I want something like this.

 

i say slam it first. then worry about the rims and tires.

 

I don't want a super stiff and low ride. I had that in my last car...
Are TRDs good? they don't have much of a drop. I'm thinking of getting both the springs and the struts.

 

I would with spits 5's from hpracing

 

do you know where I can get a good package deal with good tires for the hpracing rims?

 

I the TRDs! Subtle yet aggressive...

And I didn't have to replace the struts (yet). That's been about a year and a half ago. Black would look nice. You also might want to look at Gunmetal/Anthracite colored rims. I think those colors would look hawt on an RS2 tC!

Oh yeah, look for an offset like +35 or +38. Those look very nice.

 

awesome car!!!! thats a nice drop. I'm gunna get those springs and struts now... lol. As for the rims, what are those? tenzo passion 5?

 

Right now all i have is a short shifter.

I plan on getting:

Cold air intake with bypass valve (AEM or TRD)
TRD struts and springs
Tenzo passion 5 or HPRacing Split 5 rims (Black)
Lip kit (don't know where to get it painted since it's a Blue Blitz)

maaaybeee Turbo later on.

 

thats nice.. go for it..

 

Thanks! My rims are 18" Flik Artic(s) in Anthracite. Had to get my mesh on.

About Intakes, look around. Sometimes paying top $$$ doesn't necessarily mean you're getting a better product. (Ex. TRD CAI.) If you ever need OEM accessories, go to trdsparks.com. Great prices and great customer service! I've dealt with them many times with ZERO issues.

 

i like your plates!!

 

lemme guess....ur name is Jessi?

 

Lol yea. I'm planning on getting the TRD struts and springs set from trdsparks.com. perhaps the Tenzo wheels at wheelsnext.com since they're mounted and shipped for free. put em on at the same time

 

On the trdsparks site, it says that the TRD CAI aren't CARB approved. I thought they were... =\

 

hmm.. ive had mine for 40k... how come i didnt know this?

 

Ya oddly enough TRD didnt pay the "fees" to get it tested to get it approved... thats what sucks about being in Cali

Well smilezdc, im pretty sure the TRD CAI is 49 states legal and from what I can tell, you aren't in Cali, which means that it shouldn't be a problem for you to have this intake. CARB approved (California Air Review Board) would only affect us in Cali. (and thats also the reason I went supercharger rather than turbo, the supercharger is CARB approved)
