So I have been searching for wheels for the tC and tried a few on the car even. So far nothing. Then we had a great idea . . . take the wheels off the neon which is not showing this season and put them on the tC. So I now have 18in Axis Mods with Toyo Proxes 4's on the tC. Here's some pics to show you. The car looks a different color with the sunset reflecting off the paint! And yes . . . I know what you are thinking . . . lower that thing!!

yeah, i love those rims. i have a set on my white xB demo. drop it and it will look sick.

edit : after looking again, i'd be willing to drop it for you next time i am in seattle. but thats just cause i really want to see what it will look like.
Those rims just don't do it for me. I feel like i should like them because i normally like that style but for some reason i am underwhelmed. they are temporary so i have faith in you.

Not really digging the wheels. But I do like your spoiler. The last two pics show it off quite nicely.
i felt u could have gone alittle bigger with the rims. Still like them thou and i prefer the smooth look to the tc without the spoiler. Still looks good great choice in color that my fav.
Thanks for the replies. Yes, the car should be lowered within the month. I am trying to decide what I want to go with that won't compromise the ride, but also won't have the lip kit scraping all over.

And inevitablegod thanks for the offer, but I am having it done at Les Schwab. I can get springs at cost and there's no install or alignment fees for me! Yeah!

The only reason why I went with the 18's is cause the car is the daily driver. I hated having to watch every little pothole or dip with the 18's in the neon, so I didn't want to have to worry about that with the tC. Although I agree, bigger wheels would look awesome!

they dont look like 18s time to slam it kid
its pretty obvious that your tC would look 10X better with the springs and everybody already knows that. But they are missing a very valuable point - The $900+ you wouldve spent on wheels will obviously go to springs or coil overs (and maybe then some).


Peace

Same here. I usually like 7 spoke wheels best. Something about those just don't do it for me.
love the rims!!!

Yes this is very true!! I'm still trying to decide what I want to do about the height of the car. Hopefully it will be done by the end of Feb. and I will have new pics without all the massive wheel gap!

Thanks to everyone else for their honest replies!

For me its not the rims but the color of the car. I think the rims kick
Nice rims ...im feeling em
Well my BF informed me yesterday that I have H&R springs coming as my V-Day present. So they should be here by the end of the week! I'll post up pics ASAP!

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but if you got like a gunmetal powder coat on those rims it might look kinda cool. Maybe...somebody chop that, we'll see.

Tint your windows as well.
