I'm thinking about these Motegi LC12s. 17x8 +45 @ 16.5 lbs gun metal with a polished lip

What do you guys think? My tC is SSM.

Sweet. They should look good on your SSM.

Just paint your stock rims!!

For me they looks the same!!

They are the same if you forget the polished lip, knock an inch off the width, and add 5.5 lbs.

the stock rims are weighed that weigh for a reason cause the 17 weigh the same as the optional 18.

LOL

You should just paint the stock rims. I'm not a big fan of all those lug nut holes in the rims either.

Yeah, those wheels do look very similar to the stock wheels. I'd just paint them or choose another set of wheels.

Odd as it may sound, some people actually buy things because it improves real world performance instead of appearance. Painting the OEM wheels does not widen them, nor does it lighten them. Both these goals are worth pursuing.

Thats a very good and valid point. Kudos to your thought/idea/opinion.

It looks the same as stock to me, but if you really like those rims, you should get them. you're the one who's going to be driving anyways, so might as well get something you really like.
