so it seems that stock 17in TC rims are a nice and cheap option for us. the tc uses the same bolt pattern and you can find these rims on ebay for around 200$....oh and it seems they are hub centric for our car! im kind of tempted to buy a pair. here is a before and after photochop of these rims on my car.

From what I remember the Offset makes them looked sucked in on our cars, but if you can do it and tell us how then I will be going out and buying some.

yes you are right. they are 45 offset... but so are the rims i have on there right now. gettting some 25m h&r spacers for them would be an easy fix later on.

I put mine from my tC on to my 6th gen and I thought they looked too plain - but my car is silver and I think that's why. The photoshopped picture of your car above looks waaay better.

And they also have the Scion logo on the center cap right? They are still in the Toyota family, but some people may have issues putting Scion rims on a Toyota. I personally don't. I say do it!

I may have some pics of my friend's swapped '94ST with the tC rims on it when he raced it into a tree - but those pictures are hard for me to look at. So sad. -------------------- |

I say do it! the little scion center cap comes right out, so you wont have to drive around with it saying scion on your wheels. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

There's a tc in my area that has some bronze colored wheels with some rather strange spokes, they seem to be oem, they have the scion logo on them. I'd post pics but I can't find any, does anyone know what I'm talking about?
