What color is your Scion? Have you thought of a gunmetal color?

People ask this question all the time Just to let you know if you get 20's it will void your warrenty.

IMO i wouldnt pay that much for TRD rims, when you can get the real racing harts for a couple hundred less. 2nd. I dont like 20s.. I have 18s and i dont like them anymore..

But that's just my opinion. I say, get what you want.. whatever will make you smile in the morning.

Are you talking about the RH Evolution line or the actual Racing Hart? Because for a 3-piece racing hart, there is no way you can get it for that price with tires.

The RH Evolution line is made by Dazz which uses different vendors then their 3-piece counterparts.

Take a look at MotoFORGE... www.motoforge.com

Don't buy 20s, get the 18s and buy the warranty. At fox scion in RI, you pay a few hundred bucks for a warranty and they'll replace the wheels if they get bent from the potholes we have.

If you had to choose between those two choices, I'd go for the 18' TRDs w/ warrenty. But, IMO I'd shop around for better deals, and more selections for rims

Don't buy them from Scion. It's such a rip off! Check some online websites like www.tirerack.com or www.wheelmax.com and put them on yourself and then sell your stock rims and tires. That's what I'm gonna do.

Don't do it! Freaking get them from scion with the warranty- you'll be happy when one of them gets bent.

Big, nice wheel + pot hole = Bent wheel

When you are running on such thin tires, any decent sized pothole is going to cause some major damage..

20 inch blings are just freakin ugly! please dont get 20's.... maybe not even 18's.... get some nice volks or rh's in 16's. maybe even 17's.... in the long run.... itll be easier to sell the 16's when u get bored w/ them.

but hey, if u want 18's, ill sell u my trd rims that i dont really want for a decent price. i dont even have them yet and im already regreting it. they'll be here in 2 days the dealer said.

why did i get the 18's??? so i could finance them w/ the car n sell em to buy 16's or 17's.
