Hey, everyone. I just got off the phone with Tire Rack and it turns out they keep a database of aftermarket brake kits for each car and which wheels they offer and carry that fit on the car with those brakes. In the case of the tC, Tire Rack has the data onhand for the StopTech kit (unfortunately, not the Wilwood kit that I ordered) and I had a brief chat with a very helpful gentleman there in regards to which wheels fit (pretty much all 17", unfortunately). As a heads up, I'll list some of the ones I liked here that he mentioned:
Borbet Type TS (a bit too heavy for my tastes at 23.8lb., but pretty nice looking nonetheless)
Mille Miglia Action (nice looking but too heavy at 26.0lb.; being discontinued, so they're on sale though)
Mille Miglia HT3 (also on sale due to discontinuation, pretty nice 21.0lb. weight and o-kay styling, imho)
O.Z. Superturismo GT (an interesting looking wheel that's lighter than it looks at only 20.7lb.)
SSR GT7 (the only option on this list that's 7.5" wide, very nice looking, very light weight at only 17.2lb.--I only wish it came in some sort of five-spoke design)
Would it be too much of a risky thing to hope that if a wheel clears the StopTech brakes, it will also clear the Wilwood brakes?
