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....

hey april...i suggest going to Younger Scion and talking to a guy named Tavis...good guy, very informative.....he can help you out with choosing rims and ordering your tC

Yea thats where I am getting it, I know 2 guys there, I know Jason and the guy I am ordering it from is Mark Duvall, do you know him?

 

no i only know tavis....he hosted an event down there at younger and we had a blast at his house party the night before....there's like one single cop in the town he lives and we watched him drive by with our drinks in our hand...lol

Damn sounds like fun, why didnt I get a Scion when that happened!!!! LOL.....I just need a car hopefully this week, since I can start driving again starting tommorow the doctor said, I am so happy

 

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.

 

How much does this 18" Wheel package cost?

 

$1565 for the package.....not bad for 18's with tires, my friend in Teckademics can get rims at cost...I might get them from him

 

Yeah that is a good deal on wheels then. I was thinking it was near $2k

 

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

 

She asked in her first post for pics of people's cars with the factory 18s.

 

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

 

stick with the stocks, then get some wheels on your own, cheaper, not the same ones everybodys gonna have on their tc
