Installed Bronze Powder Coated tC Rims & new tires on my xD

I picked these rims up from Garage1217 a while back. Stock tC rims. Powder coated bronze. I wanted to wait until the stock tires wore out to install them and yesterday was the day.
Put some Yokohama S.Drive Tires on them and absolutely LOVE the way they handle. I snapped a few pics this morning and thought I'd share some. Hopefully I can get some better ones later. Enjoy

Nice, smart, and unique. I was wanting to get some rims and powder coat them bronze, brass, or copper. Don't worry I won't bite your style. Also is there a powder coat that looks more metallic, maybe something with the sheen of a new copper penny? I don't know maybe I'm weird, good looking wheels.

Turned out GREAT. Wish I kept them now haha. The bronze is much better looking in person, especially in the sun.

i went to discount tire today to ask about tires on the stock tc rims, they told me that there should be 225/17 for the tires even though stock is 215/17, any body have any problems with 215 yet?

I went with 225's on mine (225/45/17) but I know other people have run the stock TC 215's and not had any problems with them. If you were wanting to put new tires on the TC rims and run 215's you should be able to get 215/50/17's put on without it affecting your speedo or causing any problems. I know if you order the tires off Discount Tire's website that's even a size they offer as a recommended plus size for the Xd. Hope that helps
