Default Opinion on these wheels for the tC

I am interested in these wheels for my silver tC .. I'm looking at the 18x8.5" ones. I'm mostly concerned with show.



What is everyones opinion... and what size tire would you reocmmend for them.

Those are some of my favorite rims and I think they would look really good on the tC. For tires I would probably get 225/40/18.

Those look nice, I'm thinking about gettin a pair of axis wheels too...I get my black tc in 5-14 days, it was released to the dealer...and I think these would look badass!



but im like you, curious of the tire size. I got 17's on my other car with 40 series, but these would be 18's with 40 series...so I dunno...I wanted the rims in 17 maybe, but they dont make em. :-/ lemme know if u get em! post up some pics!

Everyone on Scionlife loves Axis wheels--so I think you should get them, alot of people are close to the company as well--so customer support *shouldn't* be a problem.

Axis wheels are killer, I love how they have a great lip! I also love those new gloss black wheels, by Axis and Racing Hart.

it looks like the spokes are flat silver and the dish/lip is polished/shiny... hope that isnt too much silver on a silver car :?

Classic 5 spoke with polished lip? You can't go wrong. Good taste.

Those are nice. Anything is better than the stock wheels. I think they do absolutely nothing for the appearance of the tC. I went with 19" Konigs for my flint mica.

At least they are better than hubcaps or 16" alloys.
