ro_ja, didn't you just get 17's?? if you plan on keeping the 17s and got the 18s wouldn't you need an alignment everytime you went up or down. i guess if you can get alignments free then that's what's up though.

I haven't gotten any wheels...yet. I wanted the Weds, but apparently I was too late in ordering them and they were all sold out. Too make matter worse, they're also discontinued (or that's the story I got). Also, my back up wheels (the G-Games in gunmetal) are also very hard to get now too.
I do want 17s though. I was just saying that the great deal on the Gram Lights is really hard to resist.
I'm waiting on High End to maybe see what they can do to help me get the Weds or maybe some Super Advans.

haha Don't worry. I'm waiting on my own wheels. I was just curious because my friend has an STi and he's been searching all over for a place that carries Prodrive wheels. That's cool though. I'd like to see 'em on a tC.

Prodrive wheels are okay. The early ones were made in Italy by OZ Racing (some were forged aluminum). I'm not sure about the later models.
The Subaru fitment will look terrible on tC because of the offset. A friend has a 5x100 set on his WRX at 18x8.5 et50. You'd need at least a 15mm spacer for it to fit well on a Toyota.

(said in a fun way, extreme sensitive folks don't bother reading) ^^What do you Rolodex for wheel/car history. how do you so freaking much???? you're only 29, my stars. i know you've been in the car game awhile, but what did you do before you were born--sit with the "Car/Wheel Gods"????
You know everything.
holla at wek'sos, he's in NorCal also I think. great customer service.
and i feel ya, i've seen 17s and 19s that i like but: 19s are too big for comfort and tires are too expensive--otherwise i would've took nebster's when he first put them up.

Yeah, I've basically ordered every part I could through them. I'm going there next week to order the Tanabe coilovers and a few other goodies. :D I'll ask them what they can do to help me out with some wheels though.

haha That's alright. I figured High End has a little more access to wheels, which is why I said them. I would've never thought to asking Weksos though. Thanks for that heads up. As for their location, you're almost there. Santa Clara/San Jose area...like 15 minutes from my house. :D

May I ask what wheels you ordered from Weksos?
