those wheels look good on anything. Whats the difference between the one piece and the two piece? Anybody know lof the exact same wheels that are knockoffs? Pref. in gunmetal

SCION_X

The one piece are not forged, so they will be heavier than the 2-piece, or 3-piece forged type wheels. Lightweight. As tot he looks they look very similiar, and its hard to tell between the two unless you get up on them.... as for knockoffs, there are many places for those type on the web.. Ebay is a good place for knockoffs. do a search. hope that helped.

please help a wheel noob.

these are the 18" g-games that discount tire brought up for the tc.

i don't really know much about bolt patterns and offsets. wheel these wheels fit a tc with trd springs? also, what tire size would be recommended? the three options the site gives me are:

225/40-18
235/40-18
245/35-18

i think the 2-piece are nicer but i would rather spend the extra bill on the tires. does anyone know what the weight difference is between the 1 and 2 piece?

225/40-18........thats what i have with Hotchkis springs?

^^ rubbing problems?

225/40/18 should be the right size with no rubbing. Did you already get them.. if you did.. you stole those rims from me! lol. They only have 3 wheels left and the next shipment is 45-60days out from getting here. I got the 2 peice at discount price to compensate waiting that long. Got 2peice GMM for 1472 w/ 225/40/18 falkan ze 512s

fastandcurious

damn, that's a good deal. are those Nankang NS11 tires they have on the site any good? i've tried searching for reviews but can't find anything.

all4degame

Get them from discount tire... I think you could get them for alot cheaper if you ask them for compensation for waiting so long. Give them a call and see if they will let you have them at wholesale price. ask them for some sort of "deal"

fastandcurious

i haven't purchased them yet. i'm still looking around trying to get a good deal. you're getting yours from wdo, right? is that who you're suggesting me to call? i thought about calling them to see if they can match what they quoted you. whatch think? also, something i've seen people mention when it comes to wheels is offset. what is the offset on these wheels? i didn't find anything on neither site. or is that something i shouldn't worry about with these wheels on the tc?

fastandcurious

since you've got the photoshop skills, could you make this a bsp? thanks!

all4degame

I ordered them from Discount Tire Direct. Just ask them if they can compensate for waiting up to 3 weeks on the rims. They will most likely provide you with the wholesale discount I got.

Offset is 42mm

Provide me with a side angle shot of the car and I will be more than happy to chop it for you.

fastandcurious

thanks for the info. i'm gonna try that out. and nevermind about the photoshop. i found a bsp with the wheels on this page:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...asc&&start=325

after looking at these pics, i don't know if i'm feeling gunmetal on bsp, especially since i plan on adding tint and blacking out the tails, sidemarkers, etc. i'm starting to think silver w/ machined lip would look better in my case to help offset all the black. hmm.. i'm off to find pics of bsp w/ silver g-games!

try gold man =D

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I hope any of you that have owned g-games can help answer a question.


Are the g-games 77w TPMS compatible? I have a 07 so I was hoping I can swap the sensors from my stock wheels onto the g-games.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
