Is $200 a good price for TC rims with no tires?
Also, is there a big difference in ride comfort between 215/45/17 and 225/45/17 tires? It seems like 225/45's are harder to find and a little more expensive... I found 4 used tires (215/45/17) in more than decent condition for under $200 so the whole setup should cost me less than $400. Good deal? |

$200 for a set of used rims is good, as long as they aren't too chewed up

That's about the same deal I got but the tires were mounted. $400 for four wheels/tires and a spare rim with some rash for a full size spare.

Sounds like a deal to me. Scion TC rims look great on the 6th gen. Just get them trd center caps and your good to be. I see the 7th gen gts rims go for 350 with tires, and they don't look as good as the TC's.

I rocked 17" wheels for a bit on my black hatchback and then put on my winter wheels, which were 7th gen GT wheels. I much preferred the look of the smaller wheels with meatier tires. Looks way more aggressive than 17"/18"+ wheels with low profile tires. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

QUOTE (Rider @ May 9, 2008 - 10:05 AM) Is $200 a good price for TC rims with no tires? That's a good price. That's all I'd pay anyway without at least some bald tires on them. I still can't understand why everyone pays so much for other Toyota stock rims? I paid $100 for my 7th Gen GTS wheels with Yoko's with 50%+ tread and just one curb rash on one rim. Granted that's a killer deal but I'd never pay over $250 for someone's stock rims. Not a big fan of the tC rims but they do look good on our cars. I'd get some GTS for the looks and ride quality of 16"s --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I ended up buying them for $150 thanks to my negotiating skills and b/c they all have some curb rash along the edge of the rim. It can be fixed pretty easily with a file, sandpaper and some clear coat
