yeah but he said he was going to change the color on them if he got them. plus your LMs look totally different than his b/c yours doesn't have the silver lip. but i understand how it would be frustrating. i'm hoping no one gets the rims that i want.

well if they're high end theres a big chance that no one locally will have them due to the tendency of people around here to cheap out on wheels for the most part

true, true except i'm going back to Cali, otherwise i would have ordered them. but i go back home end of Sept then go overseas for a year. it couldn't be ensured that i'd get them here before i left florida, plus i'd like to sell the xD9s before moving if i got them.

I’m sorry checho but your not the only one that can afford bbs wheels and still live at home with mammy and daddy. I know most ppl here can't afford expensive wheels but what gives you right to tell me I can't buy them or say you’re going to change them if I get them. . I’m not here to copy your idea or pet’s idea or anyone that has bbs , I just like the rims and yes I can afford them but im not going to be spending 10 grand in a car that in 2 to 4 years im going to be saying “ ohh I think is time to part out my car and go back to stock ‘’ I’m not like everyone else here that spends stupid money in their cars to look cool and then 2 years later sell everything because they changed their mind . No offence to anyone here but I just came for a suggestion on what LM would fit the scion. I don’t have time to go to any car shows or to any car club meeting so don’t worry about me showing up with bbs wheels .

He didn't say anything about you not able to afford them... He said that they are somewhat rare in 5x100. They possibly need to be special ordered.

In all, get them in any size and color you want as long as they are 5x100, and have the right offset. I'm assuming your not dropped so you don't have to worry about rubbing or anything. Also need 12x.5 conical lugs to go w/ them.

Oh yeah, btw I'm one of those who spend stupid money in my car to look cool and end up parting out and selling it because I changed my mind.... Or maybe I just wanted a boxer engine

If there was another bbs wheel that would fit on the scion i would get it with no problem. i just can't find any with the size for the scion , maybe if i knew what car it came from ????? I dont mean to be rude but i just hate how ppl talk so much here showing off their bling bling seat , wheels etc and then a month later , they are trying to sell them for almost retail price ? it makes no sense . Im also one that spends alot in the car but i buy items with the intent of keeping them not buy them and then sell them out .

wow, on the post from today at 1002. and i like the people that buy the expensive stuff then change their mind--b/c i end up buying their stuff. the ones that i don't favor are the ones that buy the cheap stuff, b/c that's no benefit to me.

the reason he said that he would sell if you bought them is b/c you be the latest person to get them. they seem to be the hot expensive rim right now, plus you're in South Florida and i believe that would make BBS LM #3 down here.

LOL purpled is not my fault i can afford the wheel new used damaged how ever they come . To me it means more then that because one of my dads first car also had bbs not lm but he had them so it also remind me of my dad . I live in florida and i seen his car maybe once, i usually work everyday come home at 6 and not use the car at all . Most of the times i ride my zx10r and race cars and bikes but as far as going to hang outs with the tc i dont like because of the haters in miami and of course theifs .

BBS RC's will fit. I seem to be the only one who use to rock them, I'm letting them go for cheap, but too bad your in FL.

i'm just gonna make this as clear as possible... ANY BBS wheel (or any wheel for that matter) will fit the scion tC as long as the bolt pattern is 5x100... which is a dying bolt pattern, so get use to not finding wheels for our cars. with the right bolt pattern and correct offsets the wheel will fit the scion tc... our scion tC's bolt pattern is 5x100... not 5x120 not 5x114 not 4x100 not 4x114 not anything else... just 5x100...


not sure i mentioned that our bolt pattern is 5x100... so our bolt pattern for the scion tc is 5x100... a RARE and dying bolt pattern

whoa whoa whoa wtf happened here!?

I in no way said you couldn't afford them, I stated the fact that they are hard to find, and meant no disrespect to you in the first place.

And yes, as bad as it may sound, it's true, if you were to get these I would have to switch wheels out. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, i just like being a little different than everyone else, if Pete has LM's and I do, then a third one would be overkill in the same 30 mile radius!!

and seeing how i've had over 4 sets of wheels, YES I am one of those people that keeps dumping money into this POS of a car, but hey, its an addiction and i'm already going for set numero 5.

In never meant any disrespect and I apologize if it came off that way.

BTW CCWs are pretty well known and a great quality wheel, I was actually looking into a set about a month back but didn't have the 2400 to drop for wheels alone at the moment
