Hey :D
Im just wondering if you guys can help me out, I just got my TC last week and Im thinking about putting some new rims on it. I dont want anything too too much (as in expensive, chrome and etc...) Im a girl :D lol. If you guys can help me out by posting up websites and pics of rims, that would be really nice.

Thanks
Jen! :D

 

Well, depends on the color of your car, and what type of style your looking for (ex. sporty, luxury, etc) ...there's a lot of rims to choose from, and just shopping around for the best prices.

 

My color is Flint Mica... i either want 17' or 18'... dont know yet... and i want something sporty

 

what dealership did you get your scion from in miami? and how much did you pay out-the-door?

 

I got mines from Armstrong Toyota/Scion... what does out the door mean??

 

nero tC means total price after TT&L, warranty, etc.

when i look for rims, i go to google and search for "wheel and tire package" and look at all of the websites that come up. from there it's all up to your personal taste.

 

Hello, This is my first post, since I am a new member. I come here all the time to see what people say. I am in the process of getting a Scion tC...test drove it and loved it...A nice site to goto for wheels and tire package I think is www.wheelguyz.com, its in FL. I bought a set of BSA 304 Chrome 18" rims w/ Wanli tires 225/45ZR18 for under $1000. not bad. I got them for my 03 Camry SE...will probably move them over when i get the tC. The rims that Scion offers are nice to...EMK Super 18"

I would check Ebay there are some pretty good deals you can find on there.

 

what was your experience with them? did you try kendall?

 

Watch out for Ebay. Especially if you don't know much about rims and tires.

I've always found when buying anything expensive off of ebay its good to find out what you want and how much it costs from more reliable sources and then go to eBay and see if you can get a deal.

eBay can sometimes cost you more money if you're not familiar with some of the tricks. Remember to read the fine print.

 

stalking_goat is right if you are not fimilar with rims be very careful. You can end up with rims that don't fit right, or that are blims, if your not caregul.

I suggested ebay because I use it daily, I have been using it for 5 years and I am a power seller, so I love ebay.

 

dude stop hijacking the thread, PM him if your interested

 

Good advice I have been buying and selling via Ebay for several years and have seen great deals and Ripoffs as well . As they say buyer beware. You really need to check around at other sites to make sure you are getting a good deal . Check the sellers feedback this is a good indication of their reputation . If there is to much bad feedback it is a good idea to stay away. Be carful of new sellers that are asking for payment via western union or cash only, unless you really know who you are dealing with . :D

 

I think Konig Trouble are 1 of if not the coolest rims I've seen...but I'm not sure if they fit the tC's bolt pattern...hopefully they do.

 

 

Just an FYI... the Konig Trouble is avail in the 5x100 bolt pattern. Check on www.tires.com

 

Tires.com looks like good prices.

 

You could also try www.discounttiredirect.com. That's where I found my rims. Also, go with 18s! You'll definitely be happy you did!

 

Start picking different brands and go to their sites. THen work from there. I don't do high price items from e-bay, unless you do a local P/U. Everything traded on spot, so you know exactly what you're getting.

Just my .02. I'm a chick too so I got cha.

 

I got my wheels from www.wheelmax.com and they have lots of wheels and tire packages that you can choose from plus free shipping,it all depends of what you like and how you want your car to look like....good luck!
