Scion TC rims are on

Had the rims machined and tires mounted and balanced. Here are the results:







The tires are Toyo Proxes4 215-45-ZR17. I hope they hold up to my ...uh..."spirited" driving. I have McGard spline drive lugs on the way, I know the stockers look ugly as hell on there

C&C welcome and thanks for looking

I normaly dont realy like tc wheels on cavs, but they look pretty good. They look alot better on the 03-05 than on the 00-02 imo.

Sport bumpers and oyur golden

Leave the Scion in there. It shows where the wheels came from. Its a distant reach towards the same thing as having Audi rims on a VW. Scion, part of Toyota, is partners with GM on many ventures. It even fits in a sense to liken Scion - Toyo Cav - Cav.

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I think it gives the rims an identity otherwise people may just think you've got yourself another set of random aftermarket wheels. They look awesome on there, need to drop that bish though.

Sounds like the hub bore for sure and likely the back spacing/offset.

Yea the hub bore needs to be machined to 57.1mm, about a half an inch deep, the offset seems to be fine. this machining needs to be precisely centered (CNC)

looks nice. i've been looking for tc wheels for my cav. didn't realize that the hub bore is smaller though. might make me rethink it now.
