ey Guys jus got my SW 06 like 2 weeks ago and still havent had to fill up my first tank of gas jus yet but im already eager to change the wheels and not sure if black with chrome lip on a SW is playd out already? if i went with black id def go with 5 spoke chrome lip.



im also interested in the 18 HP Evos, either in black, hyperblack or hypersilver, wut do u guys think would look best?



i saw a pic in 1 thread but there werent any good side shots of the car wit em on, havent been able to find the thread since and i even did quite a bit of searching (probably for wrong keywords) but w.e

i kno i askd and talkd about quite a few things but any help is appreciated. thanks

 

SW + Gold Wheels = S3XY.

 

hope this helps..it wont but here ya go, also gold looks nice, and i dont think the evos will look nice on your car unless it is heavily modified IMHO..anyways this is a friends car with my wheel next to it, its not really on:

 

yea that does look pretty bad ***, and nope my SW is stock minus for 26% tints.

a drop would probably come a little later and as for goin with 17s or 18s, with wut offsets for no rubbing?

 

read this: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=101733


and i think you should go with gold...maybe the adr sokudo 10's?

 

yea i stumbled accross the sticky bout tire rubbing shortly after i askd, sorry about that, guess i lookd right over it.

i prolly wouldnt do gold, its not really my thing. any more opinions on 5 spoke black wheels wit chrome or lip?

or wut u think about the evo's?

 

ive thought about the evos myself...but if you dont go with 19's it will look bad IMHO. because those are more luxurious rims and they need to be big know what i mean...but for black rims i would look at AXIS wheels, they are cheap...or look around the forums

 

yea i was thinking that 18s probably wouldnt look good as far as the evo's go.
but i do like those dr-11s, theyre cheap and i think they look good. im lookin around for other black 5-spokes chrome lip to see wut looks best.

 

I have a SW tC (SW ROCKS!!!). Not being a fan of black wheels (on any color), I'm for a graphite or silver finish. There're my two cents...

 

Personally i'm not too hot on the 5 stars unless its on an eclipse, supra, or rx7. Checkout R1 Racing wheels, they have very nice styles, they're affordable, and they are similar to Volks if you like volks. Also, 18's look perfect on TC's...17's are a little small and you get good performance out of 18's. Happy Hunting

 

the black is gettin old tho...i had black wheels 2 years ago...on my last car...

 

yea thats wut i wanted to kno, i have liked black wheels but i see a lot of SWs with the blacks so im unsure what kind of wheel to go with, wouldnt b gold tho
anymore recomendations?

 

id go with the 5 soke black. i dont think black on white is played out at all. i think the hp evos look is played out though. There are like four different rims out there that look just like it and for alot sheaper too.

 

I'm telling you... gold on white...

This is not my car, this is a pic I was hosting for someone here on SL. I think she actually got rid of her tC though, but the pic is still on my site. Don't ask me who or how you can contact her, b/c I don't know where she is anymore.

This is just an example of a hot SW with gold wheels.

 

wow i do gotta say that thats real hott. what kind of drop do u all suggest for 18s like that, i really wanna maintain the best ride possible, its a brand knew car and i wouldnt wanna butcher the ride already.

 

i have 18's and im going with tein H-techs...but thats because the roads are pretty nice here..i dont know where you live so i wouldnt be able to tell you. but if you have ____ty roads, i would go with trd.

 

well im in orlando for school but i make trips back to fort lauderdale miami area often, looks like the h-techs drop a little lower but the trd's provide a better drive. is that about right?

 

i just went thru the suspension and handling section and i like the trd drop cuz its a little lower but not too much and itd b nice gettin em warrantyd by the dealership and gettin em installd there depending on how much thatd cost me.

my main thing is keeping a great drive. i dont wanna bounce or rub nething.

trd's my smartest way out as far as lowering springs?

 

HEY...trd's do not come with warranty from scion. say something happens because of the trd springs(highly doubt anything will with anysprings) then they WILL NOT be covered under warranty. TRD parts are warrantied by TRD not scion. so say a coil goes dead, so then trd will replace, but say because you were an inch lower...something happend i dont know what could happen buts lets think something does, it will not be covered

 

o sorry, guess i got confused from what i read on another thread. lol sorry blackonblack, seems like i kinda offended u

wut u think about the TRDs tho and whats the best place to purchase em? ebay trd springs reliable?
