Yeah that is certainly different... looks good... Its personal preference to stay silver or go black.... I think they would look good like they are or black/dark metallic gray. Only thing is if you go black....they might look a little like the TRD wheels that Toyota offers.

Did you have to do anything special in the mounting process of the wheels? or was it a direct bolt on fit to the tC hubs?

well the good thing about 17's is that you dont have to buy tires at least once a year for it...18s may look a bit nicer...but to me its not worth forkin' out that kinda cash for a new set of tires ever 15-20K miles.
