Default New wheels... TIS 20"

What do you guys think about these wheels, TIS 20" x 7.5, 5x100 42mm offset...
I'm thinking 225/30R20 tires

If someone knows about using 20" in a tC, let me know the experience, cause i'm just waiting for recommendations.

Aren't bad butt rims?

i think 20s on a tC is way 2 much, maybe 19 is the highest to go....but i would stick w/ 18s imo

The rims look nice on the black Mini. I voted yes because I think it may look good on a BSP tC. I'm really not a big fan of chrome wheels on tCs, but some can pull it off. Good luck with your decision.

I say go for it. A guy who is looking for chrome twenties doesn't give a damn about performance, and he'll stand out great against the sea of OEM shod tCs that roll aorund. Eight out of ten tCs must still be on stocks, and the other two are on some sort of tuner wheel. I've never seen a tC on chrome in person, so points for originality.

That rubber on a 20" only stands .2" taller than the TRD 18" w/ 225/40s, so you should have no fitment problems.

there are a few different options if you are on the hunt for 20x7.5 rims
motegi has a few to choose from and there are some other brands, just not sure what the names are

Running 20's on them is no issue. Well unless you go with a 20x8.5 or larger. I am running 20's and have been for almost a year. No issue on mine and I am running it way lower then any spring will.

Default I'm sorry for not putting the tC color, is Silver metallic.

Well, Like some one say, I'm not to worry about performance, I want it for the looks... I agree with some that probably chrome is not the way to go, but these wheels are just my type, lets see how they look. If they don't look right I will change them, no big deal... "whatever the customer wants right??"

I will order them this weekend, stay tune for the pictures...

Will the dealer charge you a restocking fee if you give it back? I didn't know you can refund rims if they're ordered.
