OK, my wheels and tires finally came 2 days ago and I went to get the car dropped yesterday, so I've held onto taking some pics and sharing them...till now

MAN those are some big wheels! The more I see them, the more I think that 5-spoke wheels are perfect for the tC.

Very nice!

The rear wheel wells also seem to stick out a little more than the front. So it might be partially camera tricks.

The wheels look like a bit too much to me. I don't think I'd go that big, personally. But it seems like you're happy with them - that matters.

i wanted to stay away from a 2+ inch drop so i went with SpringTech, 1.8 all around, after the install i was surprised to see the drop go down that far. absolutely no rubs anywhere even when i go through bumps and f*%ked up roads, so i am very pleased with the results.

looks hot, but with 19's you gotta get a kit or the wheels looks unproportially larger than the body.

19"s look sweet as hell, though I wonder whether I'd be killing them over these bumpy ___ streets. With lowering springs, I've noticed that potholes which used to be soaked up are now harsher on stock wheels. Going to 19s will probably cause some heartache after they warp 'cause one day I'll slip up and not see a pothole in front of me... then bam! Emeril style.

I wonder if 18s will be any different...

^^^ yeah my friends TC cracked 3 of his inner rims not to long ago. 19" Axis Spyders, with lo -pro tires. By the looks of it i think you had the same tire size.

Man...I always get jealous when I see a klean SW...sometimes I wish I would have held out another 2wks...maybe things would be different.

I love my FM, but your ride is definitely look'n HARD! The wheels and tires definitely set your car off.

19's are definitely the sweet spot for size on these cars...shoulda saved instead of getting 17's

You'll be turning heads with those...good pick.
