i like those but i don't think they are gonna fit especially if you decide to lower it maybe someone else knows for sure. If you want that style motegi racing makes a set called dp12 that are very close to that and i know they fit. I have a set of motegi racing ff7's and can say motegi makes some good quality rims. I'll do some more looking to see about the fitment of the ones you want though to be sure. heres a pic of the dp12s though http://www.motegiracing.com/applicat...mega/m2396.jpg

just ask tire rack.....they will tell you what fits and are pros at it
5x100 mid to high offset.....and i have nothing against chrome but do not buy cheap chrome rims..they tend to tarnish fast.....reallpolish is best imo....do what u want and have fun!

^^Hyper Black is the ish!...
On the tC...
(I'm a little biased! ) Seriously, it just depends on what you're looking for. (Because its your tC!) In a couple of days, I'm going with Anthracite. Too many people have blk w/polished lip IMHO, I wanted to be different.
These rims just came out and they are HAWT!!!
5Zigen Sport Engine in Hyper Black. You get those and you will definitely be the envy of all your friends! Just stay away from gold, bronze, and the Konig Unknowns. (Not that I don't like them, its just too many people have those also. ) Good luck!
SORRY for the long **** post!

what would be an ideal rim and tires? i really dont wanna have to mod my car in anyway to put the wheels on, and idk maybe cuz im a girl or something im not 100% crazy bout the dark rims, honestly...whats so bad about chroms?!

Here is the Anthracite on SSM...
These are the 18" Flik 'Artic'. Personally, I wouldn't go any bigger than an 18" wheel. After that, the performance suffers. I have a friend on here and he ran 19"s and said his tC handled sloppy. If you plan to do a lot of driving, stick with an 18". A good tire size would be 225/40. A lot of wheel/tire websites have reviews of tires. Read some of those to get an idea on what brand to get. The bad thing about chromes? BLING factor. Blingy wheels = target for theft. If you do get chrome, lock those suckers down with a good lug nut.
