Well....the "lowrider benzo" is in the shop so I've been paying more attention to the tC.

this is a quick pic I took of my tC today while I was washing it.

Thinkin about painting the wheels black. Ive seen some nice ones and some that look like crap. Opinions?

I'd say match the wheel color with the car, or as close as possible.

I thought about that....but Idk if that'll blend in too much. I think the black kinda gives it a sportier look.

poll posted btw

I think black would look good But I also like the idea of collor matching the wheels to the car. You could try and find a totalled one with wheels on it at a junk yard and paint those up ,and switch them if you dont like them

not tryin to bash you guys that own these tC's, but imho they look like girl cars to me. So what do you guys see in them? They aren't light, they aren't fast, even with the charger on it. Looks like a in between poor kids civic and a rich girls acura

OT: paint em or powder coat em. A matching or similar dark metallic would be sweet.

I liked them cuz of the price and the way the seats folded down

i say leave it stock looking...will be worth more when you go to sell it, plus, even with better looking wheels it'll just look like your tryin too hard

That's the best I could come up with.

good lookin, cheap, great gas mileage, easy to customize anyway you want almost unlimited possibilities...they can be fast(without 100's of pounds of car stereo) lol i dont know where your getting that from bro lol ive seen tcs that are unbelieveable. dont know many girls that drive acuras either i have friends that drive integras and rsxs ...none of them are girls....not really sure what a girls car looks like though (maybe a vw beetle?) but i see mainly 20-something year old guys driving tc's because thats who they are marketed towards bro... i know "poor kids civics" that will blow your mind too...what do you see in a 77 datsun if you dont mind me asking? see how that works you like what you like..we like what we like.
