    With 19's you are really not going to get more than a TRD drop. The more of a drop the more likely that you are going to be running on rubberbands for clearance.

    Wow. Why do you want 19s?! Yeah, they look baller but the low-pro tires that the tC uses for 19s would be EXPENSIVE.

    I would love to be sitting on some Progress coilovers. However, I don't have money.

    Do not buy Axis wheels. Navy will tell you time and time again that they are junk. He has them on his and he hates them.

    Those are pretty cool looking but I'd trust navy. He knows a lot of random stuff.

    Navy doesn't like them because they are what's on his car right now. He loves the design and look, but when it comes to fitment, it's not perfect. He said that he talked to a representative at Axis before he bought them and they assured him that they would not rub. Well, they were wrong. With his drop and the incorrect offset of the wheels, he rubs slightly anytime he goes over bumps. So yeah, he doesn't like them.

    Maybe his caps lock was on and did not want to retype. I hate it when I do it. Just to answer a bit further than what Redneck4csa correctly said. The pinstripe is flaking off, only the front of the wheel was completely painted, the flat finish paint is a bear to clean brake dust from, and the paint is not very resilient. The center cap that came with them has an open center with nothing to put in them. They are made in China, require hub-centric rings, and the +35mm offset is too wide for an 8.5" wheel with the appropriate sized tire. I also don't trust them as they told me and Tony at Jotech one thing, but in reality is another. Their tech guy called me a liar, in no certain words, and said that Kenny Tran and Jotech don't know what they are talking about.

    :oops: Shows how dumb this guy is. One would think that I bought these things from Pep Boys.
