Car looks niiiice! Go with a 35 offset. I have 18s' on my tC and I think the 35 offset gives it a more aggressive look. I hated how the Stock 17s' were so far back in the wheel well. 
I'm thinking of getting TRD Springs. I just want a subtle drop. Anybody know how long (estimate) Stock Shocks and Struts would last with TRD Springs? Click 'Profile' for a pick of 18s'.

nice rims! TRD doesnt give you a huge enough drop like TEINS or Hotchkins so you really wouldnt have to replace the shocks and struts? at least not any time soon? Now if you go with Hotchkins like me or TIENS then you would have to replace them pretty sooner than usuall with the TRD's. BTW TRD gives a good drop slightly noticeable? I "WAS" gonna go with the TRD's but then i found Hotchkins and saw some tC's with them and it looks sooo nice! Have you thought of coilovers? IDK what your budget is but if you have the money! It will save you in the long run with coilovers! I know TEIN has a great set-up for that! IMO you car will look nice with a decent drop like TRD's! post some pics when you get them!

Yo, I got my Tein H-techs from ZPI. I have had them for about a week and a half. I love them. Seem like the handling of the car increased by 10 fold.
IMO, you should have used the money that you bought those TYC's with, and got some wheel spacers instead. Those TYC's look good on certain colors, but I'm not sure what it will look like on our BCP color. Now, I would have to admit they look better when you do an overlay on them to give them some tint. Maybe you should try that.
And it seems we have the same taste in style. I too want the Buddy Club 2 kit, and a CF hood. But my rims are going to be 19x8.5's, and Racing Harts. I have yet to see a TC with the rims I'm getting. But I'm going turbo before I get the rims. Stage 0 to come late next month, early Dec.
