I searched... but the answer Im looking for/ feedback... is more specific.


Please chime in if you have any knowledge about this wheel set I came across on eBay. I really like the finish on it... but don't really know anything about the manufacturer.

Thanks!

I have never heard of the brand. I personally I like the finish 2. But as far as the reliability of the brand idk but for the price who can complain?

 

thats a pretty cool finish, i say go for it man

 

that looks sick. if u get it, lemmie see a pic. ive always wanted bronze for my fm. but all i got are the black konigs

 

never heard of the brand ether. but im in love with that finish. the bronze with the polished bronze lip looks sick. i say go for it man. i wouldnt mind picking up a set of those..

 

for 400 shipped give it a shot man

 

the finish is my favorite thing about this wheel.

also... anyone know if the standard 215/225 45R 17 will fit well on the wheel as its 7.5" and I believe the stock tc alloys are quite that wide. I don't want to stetch the tires to make them properly.

 

Yes the oem 215/45 will fit. The wheel has pretty much the same specs as stock. You can go 225 if yu want more rubber 2 the street.lol Are yu lowered?

 

Yeah.. Im lowered. Not tucked though... I have about a 1 finger-width gap from top of tire to fender all the way around. I did that on purpose so I could have a nice aggressive stance while still making it drivable on most city streets w/o doing damage to any parts.

I was mainly curious about the sidewall height on this wheel. I knew they were pretty close to the stock 17's on our tCs. I've always ran 225's on my stock tC rims for both of my tCs. It's only a few mm's wider and there are a lot more choices and price ranges in that size over the 215s.

 

It won't be that aggressive but def a good DD setup. I'm saving to run sum 18x10s next year hopefully or at least some 18x9's lol....so Buy them, wrap em in 225's and then post pics.lol

 

I love that finish, if i had the money i'd pick up a set of those. I say go for it and then post pics for us to see :D i wanna see how those look!

 

I'm running 225s on 7.5" wheels and they're not stretched at all. 215s seem like they may stretch a touch. My track tires are 225s on stock 7" and those are stuffed onto the wheel. I'd say get 225s, stretch FTL. If you wanna see how they fit lemme know. I can show you sometime.

 

Thanks man... it's appreciated. I've been running 225's on the stock tC 17" alloys since I got my 1st tC back in 06. So I'm pretty familar with the fitment. I just wanted to make sure that the wheels I was looking at were close enough to the dimensions of the stock oem 17" alloy that I wouldn't have to buy new tires if I got that wheel set.
Seems like most that have posted in my thread here are generally fans of that type of finish for wheels on a tC. I've also considered having NVMyTc here on SL do a bronze/copper finish on the stock 17s. But not being local to him, it almost puts it up into the cost range of buying a new set of wheels. Check out his powdercoating thread if you haven't seen his work yet. He does awesome quality work. It's not a reflection on his pricing, it's just that the shipping cost kills it for me b/c of not being local and wheels being heavy & expensive to ship.
