Default Get wheel package or stay with factory 17's????

Hey guys I am going to order my Tc tommorow, I was wondering if I should get the 18'' wheel package or stay with the factory 17's, it would be nice to add rims to a payment rather than getting the car and then going to get rims and have to pay up front for them, I was wondering if anyone had pics of their cars with the factory 18's because I have never seen them....

If you buy rims at the dealer you'll pay a lot more than you would pay normally. Add that to the interest you'll be paying on them and you have a bad deal for you and a good deal for the dealer.

As a general rule, it makes better financial sense not to buy things from the dealer.

Depending on your taste of wheels. I think these might look good on some colors of the tC:

You could get them from www.edgeracing.com for $185 each. So Thats $740 for wheels then get some Falken Ziex Ze-512 225/40WR18 Tires for $108 each. So thats $432 for a total of $1172. The Wheel weighs 18Lbs & the tire is about 22. So thats a total weight of 40Lbs. Im not sure what the stock weight is but I would think its more then that.

The style I like is the Konig Tantrum, its a 7 spoke rim, I wanted pics of the factory 18's on an actual car so I could see what they look like, I dont even know what color they are, if I get the Flint Mica, I will probably get gunmetal wheels with a polished lip

What does this have to do with the photo booth section. I see no pic's of anyones car. Maybe it's just me but there is probably another section you can ask general questions. When I click on the Photo booth section like it says place to post pictures I would like to see peolpe's rides. Just my 2 cents

id say get the 17s ... sell em ... and then take that plus a few bucks and get some 18's

why let the dealer

A) charge you WAY too much for the 18s

B) keep your stock 17s
