| Posted: 5/29/08 4:36PM Post subject: tC wheels on xD? |
|
|
So i am getting to the point where i want to begin upgrades on my Magnetic Grey xD. i started with the rear spoiler and the premium headunit and with just over 5K miles (this afternoon on my drive home) i would like to add a rear sway, TRD spring and shocks and new wheels. i would like to explore putting the tC alloys. i like double spoke look and if they are available in 17's and if the lug pattern would be comparable for the xD and if it would fit, where can i find the rims.
please help so i can upgrade my baby and take some nice pics for all of you here. |

Ergh! Wrong! :P

I would suggest looking at the tC forums to see if you like any wheel types you like. xDs and tCs can have the same wheels because of the bolt/lug pattern which is 5x100 :)
The stock tC alloys look decent on the xD but I would suggest getting different rims altogether :) |

| nah no bags, wish but not going to happen where i live. the paved roads are worse than most dirt roads as far as potholes plus they cant level a road so you have manholes that stick up about 3-4inches above the road itself. |

you can find them used for as low as $150. Try looking in the classified threads or on craigslist. I thought I was going to do the tc alloys on my xD, but I ended up getting a really great price on different rims (non scion) on craigslist. Took me almost 5 months to find what I wanted, but it was worth the wait!
No pics of them on the car yet btw, will be up in a few weeks :P |
