Default 2015 tC

I just purchased my 2015 tC today. It should be coming in on a truck within the next two days. Are there any, must does to the car to make it better, or any upgrades that I should do right away? I personally am not big on speed and all of that, would rather put money into looks.

If you're not into speed, this car is perfect for you. A good start is always to go for some suspension and wheels. Nothing sets this car's looks up better than some good stance.

Was never a big "speed" guy if you would say that. Any recommendations on wheels. I want black so i can go blue with black accents as it is blue spark. I know my name doesn't say that haha.

When it comes to wheels, it's hard to make recommendations. Everyone's taste in wheel styles is different.

Do you know if you want to go with like a slammed and cambered out look? Or do you want to go with a more standard lowered look with flush wheels and minimal camber?

Im thinking standard lowered look, with flush wheels. I just kind of want simple, yet good looking. Not going to lie I'm pretty stoked to get the car!

If you want a standard lowered look then you can grab a cheap set of coilovers for suspension. Drop the car 1.5-1.6" in the front and around 2" in the rear.

For wheels, just pick a set you like, but keep in mind the required specs you'll need:
5x114.3 bolt pattern
60.1mm hub bore

It's alright if find a wheel with a larger hub bore as long as you get hub centric rings to make up the difference. You can just google it to find out more info on that.

In order to get the wheels flush with no camber, you'll probably want to get a 9" wide wheel with about a 25ish offset. That should look nice with you car being lowered.

I'm excited for you man!

Pretty new to looking at wheels. I know you said its preference, but do you have any brands that you personally like?

I personally like HRE and Enkei. But you're talking to a guy who is too cheap to actually buy wheels lol. My opinion isn't really worth much here.

Do you guys have any links or any suggestions on where to get interior blue LED bulbs? Looking into changing them all over.
