Default 18 Inch Gunmetal rims w/ Blue for Scion tC?

Hello,

Anyone know where I can get 18 Inch Rims w/ Blue on it? Only nice ones I saw were the HPD T/A... You can find it here:
www.ohioscions.com
I'm planning on just lowering it with Tanabe DF210.
Looking around to see if there are other rims that'll fit the NBM perfectly.
It's my Personal Opinion, but feel free to bash.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Buy rims that you really like then powdercoat/paint them. That way you already know what's up, you're not guessing. Make sense?

Those were the ones I was looking at, I still like the "HPD T/A" ones more... I'm deciding between the two, they both look good and smooth. I'm just wondering if the blue on the TC EVO Axis is too much of a contrast with the NBM paint on my tC. They're both awesome, once I get my paycheck at the end of this week I'll tell you guys on what I've decided and show pictures.

Are there other rims that I should be considering as well? So far those are the only two that catch my eye. Not many rims are Graphite/Gunmetal with Blue on them so the list is short and sweet. The thing is, I've only seen two.

Thanks in advance!

maybe you could just get the Axis TC Evos' with the silver plastic ring and paint the ring IIP. then it would looked color matched.

You could probably paint it with IIP paint from a spray can. I know I've seen places that offer the toyota colors in spraypaint cans. Dr. Iso painted some of his stuuf IIP. Ask him where he got his paint.

As long as you take your time, painting stuff yourself comes out just as good as paying someone else and costs alot less. My cousin just painted his X5 rims a gunmetal color with regular automotive paint and some clear and they look professionally done.

If you dont feel confident doing it, Im sure there's someone from SL in Cali that could give you a hand. After all, we are a community.
