scion tc rims??, need a visual.. Options

[minuswell]

a buddy of mine bought new rims for his Scion and is willing to part with his stock rims for 300. i would use the search key, but you guys have so many pages of so many nice cars, im afraid i'll lose time if i look at all of them. is there anyone running on Scion rims or know someone, so i can get a visual of how it looks on a celica? just one would do fine, thanks.

i did do that..typed in "scion rims"..hit go..and clicked the first thread. the thread was "the official post a pic of your 6gc"..before you know, i forgot what i was seaching for XD. it's easy to get distracted with that many nice celicas in one thread.

So add yours to the list!

I have them on my car and really like them a lot. Its nice to have oem quality, hub centric rims. Pics also really don't do them justice. They look pretty good on our cars.

Feel free to browse my profile. Here's a quick shot of the current look, not the best pose but it works. Still need center caps, few other small things.



Also, you should be able to talk your friend down a bit - at least to 250. My wheels were badly curb rashed, but I got them with tires (mismatched, two cheapies and two good ones, lasted a year and a half) for $280.

I agree with Ferdi (as I usually do) that you should be able to talk your friend down; I paid $200 for my set with light curb rash without tires.

And I'm rocking bronze tC rims on my 6gc. Check the profile.

I got mine for $200 and ended up spending another $300 to sand, sandblast, and powdercoat them... They look nice.

[SwissFerdi]

^ What the sh!t, it's my twin! Except yours has a few more pretty bits. Mine's lower though.

Zonz, my Celica should make babies with yours.

Its going to have 12psi of boost and a toms lip too, come the end of finals week....

Im pretty sure they are twins. I run GR2's and Sportlines as well.... My tires are 40's instead of 45's, though. I think ive got a half inch on you because of that...

[SwissFerdi]

You're right, yeah...I judged it by the wheel gap, my mistake. Sounds like you've got some good stuff planned, I just read your 7A-FTE thread.

Do you have any close-ups of the wheels? I assume they're flat as well.

This is all ive got at the moment. It is R34. Its a flat with metallic flake. Theyre bronzish/brownish.

Got mine for $200 without tires, $400 total with tires + mounting/balancing, so if your buddy is selling with tires, then $300 is not a bad deal. And these look better with spacers, they are +45 after all :X

[Mycurse180]

Damn those look great in black. How heavy are they compared to stock rims?

[zonz540]

The feel a little bit heavier than the OEM GT 15" rims. Prob within 5 lb, though

[SwissFerdi]

22 pounds per wheel.

[Mycurse180]

22 pounds per wheel.

Aren't the stock GT wheels somewhere around 15-17lbs?

[SwissFerdi]

^ Probably, yeah, sounds about right. The tC wheels are on the heavier side for their size, I think...

[TRD-Corolla]

^just weighed mine a few mins ago, they are 19 lbs. Pretty average for 17s"....

[JIMMYlee]

i also got tc rims on my 1994 st i got mine at a yard salr for 23 bucks

What size spacers u have cause I have the same rims but need spacers. There is a small gap between shocks and the wheel and doesn`t rub but will rub a bit when in a dip or quick turn.

[Arsaces]

Scion rims look pretty good on our cars, I went with the 7g rims though because of weight, and I think the 7g look a bit better (Scion rims are cheaper though, around my area).


BTW, as far as the search function goes you want to make your search 1 word if at all possible (or put quotes around your words) otherwise the search function is going to return all posts with rims and all posts with scion.
