I think if you can get the bolt pattern issue figured out, the green TE37s would be the best choice of those 4. They look awsome!

ok ive found plenty of 5x100 TE37's and getting them the right color isnt a problem.

im still learning about wheels so can the experts help me out on what offset would fit/look the best on a tc?

i want them to look like the ones on the first page of this thread. but idk how fitting +0 and +15 offsets on a tc would work..

so what offset would give the rims that look?

obviously they will have to be ordered since all ive seen on any site is 35,38, and 44

Well, +35 is flush, but there was a guy on here with 18x8 +30 TE37's and they were completely flat-faced. If you want a concave face, the only way to get it is with a very low offset and a wide rim. You probably won't be able to fit anything lower than +25 without major fender modification. Basically, it's near impossible if you want to fit a TE37 with those specs on a tC.

soo pretty much the lower the offset the more concave action you get and the more trouble it is going to be to make it fit

^ exactly

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...modelName=TE37

According to that, the best offset you can get on any TE37 is 17x8 +38. If you want anything with a lower offset in a larger wheel, you'll have to get it custom from Rays directly.

There you go, problem solved. Custom solves everything. I'd contact Mackin Industries to find out how to contact Rays.

Really? What's your name and do you have any pictures of your car?

o i didnt see that post, i was confused, haha.

im still thinking about my options.
if i can fit the right width and offset on my tc to get the TE37's the way i want i might buy them.

if not ill prob go with the AA VYC's in a special powdercoated color. (green duh) lol
