Default TRD 18" rims

people out there buy them?

why are they a waste of money?? those rims are nice. i think your problem is you TRD drop. it leaves to much wheel gap. sell those and go with something a lil but lower, like hotchkis or progress.

Those rims are nice! I like them. The only problem I have with them is the offset. (+42) Ideal offset
would be a +35 or +38. If they were more 'flush' with your body kit, they would look real good. I have
TRD drop with 18s and mine look fine. (Because of the offset.) So I think the springs are not the problem IMHO.

Thread jacker!!
I think those would look good on your WLP. Remember; it's all about the offset.
Shop around for wheels with a smaller offset. The more flush, the better looking IMHO.

i havent seen them in person, from this picture they look amazing. and i think they keep the clean tc look. and when i get the Five Axis lip kit i think it will flush well. what do you think?

If you wanted to sell them, you wouldn't get anywhere near what you paid for them.

hey,

My cousin on here rocks a set and they look real good on his BCP tC. The wheels are a tad big from seeing it upclose just the spokes pertrude past the fander that are actually noticeable .

Like Carbon said you might not have a hard time finding a buyer but good luck getting anywhere near what you paid for them. I hope you did not buy those from the dealer

yea it was from the dealer =/

seeing as i accidently chipped the side of one taking a corner too tight becuase some guy didnt give me enough room, i think i might just work around them

that black one posted above does look really nice, what is that dropped on?

you got the black or silver??
i love the black ones, silver looks okay though.

I agree with Hyghgynx though the offset is why i wouldn't get them, but now that you have them may as well roll them. if you got the black ones I'd go without the center cap and get some black lugs, the silver ones kinda kill the rim imo. You're mistake wasn't getting them, it was getting them from the dealer that was the mistake. But then again you're from the OC so I guess you may be ballin' a tad bit, lol. How much did they charge you for them?

my whip with TRD's. Offset is perfect, maybe most people havent seen them in person. I have the full TRD suspension setup also, so thats why its so low. Perfect "2 finger" or 1.8" gap.

the back tucks a little too far in for my taste buds, the front is okay though.

who actually makes the rims?? TRD just rebranded them, I'm sure.

the black ones dont look very good at all cause there is no lip. soo it looks like one big black tire.

no lip.

lip, which is alot sexier.

I like my TRD rims. I also do think a better drop would make it look sexier. Hotchkis maybe?
