How do you like these wheels?




These are 18x8.5 The offset is not stated on the site, and I sent them an email asking them what it is so don't ask me please These are going on my BSP with stechs I'm a little worried with rubbing, but we'll see.

all u simply have to do is ASK if they are for or will fit a scion TC, if they so no then you dont get them.

Ok, so I don't want to spend an extra $400 to get spacers... hm... anyone have another idea? I did read that too, that 8.5 rub on stechs, but maybe there are others out there with no such problems?

acutally not true haha, i was gettting a haircut, and i realized that it doesnt matter what they tell me. Well i mean it does if they say it's compatible, but for the rubbing issue they don't know i'm putting on stechs, let alone what would happen if i did. So I still need some responses on the wheels :D, and the rubbing issue please...

it is true I hate all the people who ask "whats the offset and this and that"
simply call whomever you can get wheels from and ask them if they fit thats all you need to know...

While the wheels do look nice, I'd hate to have to clean all those spokes & rivits.

Default rear suspension arm

my experience with kmc dime's are that the inside lip rubs the suspension arm slightly. just trim it and spray some krylon on it and call it a day. sweet rims...don't use spacers if you can help it!

i'm 90% sure those will rub badly no matter what the offset unless you widebody or flare. but they are sweet looking.
