custom rims normally don't do much for me (i really dig my stock 17's), but those are really nice.

My neighbor bought a TC and let me have these for $150 w/o tires! They bolt right up using the OE lugnuts. I had to modify the center caps a bit to get the to fit.

No Kidding!!!Those look pretty sweet. Did I read somewhere that the TC has optional 18's or ws that just my imagination. Cause I thought I saw them someplace and they look really good as well.

well i know TRD makes an 18" wheel/tire combo that will fit the celica's, matrix, corolla, and TC.

Yeah, those look great. Back when I was shopping for some wheels, Tirerack's in house brand has a model very similar to those that I thought about getting.

I likeee!!I Often Thought Celica GTS wheels (the 5 Spoke/16's) would look good on the Vibe.

I have a 2009 1.8 base with 16" rubber. Do you know if the speedometer was affected when you stepped up to the 17" Scion wheels? I have found a few sets of new 17" Scion take offs and might do it.

As long as the outside diameter is the same there shouldn't be a difference. http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1066 Check out this thread and you can compare your current tire size to what you want to do.

Your sig pic should have those tC rims on the car. They look !!! Especially with those nice wide tires. So go dust off the camera lens and get out there and take that picture before ski season sets in and you have to put the steelies back on. I know you can do it! You guys skiing/shredding out there yet?

I don't have steelies at all anymore. I have some good pics of my car with the wheels on, just need to find time to go get some pics.We got pounded with snow a few weeks ago, but then it warmed up to almost 80 for a couple weeks. We are supposed to get snow this weekend.

You guys are always skiing/shredding before we get to. I lived in NW Montana from mid 80s to mid 90s. Sweet ski season... but not the snow quality you enjoy. Love Alta.

The snow in Utah is great. Not many options where I live now.
