Default Scion wheels or Aftermarket

Need some suggestions here... I am going to buy a Flint Mica tC in the coming months and my fiance have a difference of opinion on wheels. The car will be ordered with the ground effects kit, pedestal spoiler and will probably get lowered. I want to stay with an 18" wheel, I personally like the 18" EMX 7 spoke wheels on the Scion website on the car the best. My fiance has suggested going with the RS1 powder coated wheels (which I can order) or billet aluminum aftermarkets.

I would love to hear your suggestions and see your pics.

Thanks!

Well the 18" factory wheels are hub centric meaning they are actually made for the car. Aftermarket wheels aren't and require hub centric rings that don't really work. I have aftermarket wheels and when i get up to about 70 the car starts to shake a little . The wheels are balanced and i have the rings in. If wish i would have gotten factory!!

F.Y.I:you might not be able to order your car with the kit cause i think they aren't offering it on the 06'. But you should be able to get it and do it yourself.
