Hey man, I thought you were geting some sport engines instead. What happened? Nice wheels...where did you get them.

wow those things look nice

05FMtC

yeah i was gona get the sportengines, but after seeing these i fell in love with them. i like how the spokes are more round then flat. u kno what i mean? i like how they come out from the edges and then taper in a lil into the center. yeah i think i will run a spacer in the front. i really do not want to but i guess ill have to in order to make them fit. and the price was incredible. i paid a little over 1k with some falken ziex and they came w/ lug nuts, and hub centric rings too. they told me that i got the last set for a while b/c its so hard for them to keep them in stock.

hey pink. whose car is that? i think those may be a different offset or they may be the 18x9. mine are 18x8 +38 offset

here r some pics for u all

those rims give your ride a really mean look

pinkstonm

Did you find a solution for your centercaps?

Bump!

I just recently got the same rims and am going through the same problem as well. Like you 05fmtc I got the 18x8's with the +38 offset hyperdark. Hope someone has a solution.. :/

pinkstonm

Isn't there something you can do with spacers? Or maybe the manufacturer sells a different centercap to fit.

05FMtC

yes we can run spacers but i think they sit really nice right now and i do not want any rubbing with a spacer nor do i want it to be sitting past the fender. the ppl at wheelfire.com said that they could send me some different centercaps but those i think will kill the look of the wheel since they will stick out and not sit flush like the original centercaps. im thinkin about running a 5mm spacer all around what u guys think? im a little worried tho. they otherday i hit a pot hold on the freeway at 80mph and somehow i think the wheel hit the fenderliner and caused it to rip out so not i do not have a passenger side fender liner.

I spoke to the guys from HP-Racing today and they said that those rims should fit a scion TC and the cap should fit also. If they don't fit you can but a new cap directly from them that will fit.

Put my HP Racing EVOs on today and had zippy problem with the center cap! They look AWESOME I will post pics tomorrow.

NO RUB, Perfect fit 18x8f 18x9 back

THANKS WHEELGUYZ

Nice!
My EVO Hyperlight Darks just arrived today. I got Kuhmo tires and they look killer.
I was told that HP makes a center cap that fits over the tCs, but maybe it's only older tCs that need them?
Anyway, I'll find out today.

My evos rub w/ s-techs, maybe b/c my tire is 225/40/18

should of gottn 35's

EDIT:

Does anyone's steering wheel shake with the Hp's?

SciontCya

Did you use the hubcentric rings?
They're needed on the tC.

SciCoTc

not unless there on the rim already, nothing else added. Just put rim on!

SciontCya

Well, then balance must be off.
I'd get them redone.
They shouldn't do that.

SciCoTc

They where balanced from wheelsnext.com, then I I went to NTB and they did it, still shaking!

Edit:

As far as the domed or flat caps,
I have the ones they sent me! They're flat!
I hit a crub and got my rim replaced, so one my rims has the new
hp design logo with the plastic chrome piece on the outside of the cap.
The other three have the hp design logo you see on wheelsnext.com as the
model wheel!

SciontCya

Wow, that sux. Did you get the domed caps or the flat ones?
Which ones worked?
