(The price on this '05 just dropped to $13k... Im gonna jump all over this)

I have 4 choices. I am planning on keeping the stock tires for now...

1) Motegi Racing DV5 17x7 (I have been partial to these from the beginining, but they are the most expensive ones out of these 4)

I would actually consider looking at some gold rims. Gold looks amazing on BCP.

However, if you are set on having one of the wheels you posted above, I like all of them except the third choice. Looks very ricey. The others look nice.

So, would 17x7.5 affect anything on stock tires? I know stock rims are 17x7, right? Or is it too small of a difference to matter?

The thing is, black rims with a crome lip are beginning to be played out as much as the lambo doors. It will look sick, no doubt. Just been done before thats all. The third one down stands out the most IMO.

Either way, wanna see pictures when you get the tC and put the rims on!

Gold/Bronze wheels look good with Black Cherry - if you get the right wheel. I'm personally not a fan of bronze/gold wheels, but that's my personal opinion.
