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?

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 actually like GT-S wheels better than TC wheels on our cars..It's all personall preference. $200 for all four wheels (as long as thier in good shape) is a pretty good deal.

Agreed. 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.
