I think they would look alright IMO. They have a decent lip too.

If you do buy them, go with the 7.5" wide with the 48 offset. The 8.5" is too wide.

Someone on this site was selling a set of racing hart c2's. They have a similar pattern to those wheels. 18x7.5" (they may be sold )

They look like complete sh*t on that scion!LOL

I reason I switch to Piaa wheel is because it has BBS patten, and most importantly is cheaper!! So I'm gonna go for the 7.5 width. Thanks!!

No much lip with a 7.5?? Really?? But I saw most people here are gatting 225 or even 235.
The Rim is for $359 each, the cheapest I could found.
After all, should I lower the suspension??

you must definitely get suspension to bling your ride bro. if you don't...we'll just make fun of you and your 4x4 just kidding.

a lower suspension would enhance the looks of the ride definitely. you will love it!

there are few companies out there that make rims for this car with a huge lip....i don't know bout piaa, but it could just be pictures man...

does that price include tires?

haha... another $$ goes to springs. Damn, I don't have much cash in my pocket
Too bad, for that price, and for most online stores, they don't come with the tires I want.
I might have to buy it somewhere else. I love the Toyo tires especially the Proxes 4.
There is also another Piaa rim I'm considering. Check it out in www.piaa.com



Look at these rims on RSX

The 5-spoke FR-S wheels would be my choice.
