Rims for my TE

[GrantK]

I'm leaning towards pre-purchasing the Cepek Torque rims for my TE.
* Size: 17x8.5
* Offset: 6mm
* Backspacing: 5.04"
* Bolt Pattern: 6-139
* Weight: 23.8lbs.

So, what's everyones opinion. GO4IT or keep looking?:hiding:

BS is kinda high, may need spacers

They look OK on that SR5 (with its chrome), but may be a tad blingy on a TE, IMO.

You need a PS volunteer.

Not bad! Im a big fan of a "flat blacked" out TE though.

I'm concerned about that as well. I need to see if I can get them with 4" bs so I don't need spacers.

I don't have PS (hint hint readers).

I'm concerned they might be too blingy as you say. On the other hand, I think the TE in MagGray, with the rear badges blacked out and the front either removed (grill mod) or blacked out that 100% all black rims might be too much in the other direction.

I think the blacked out rear badges adds a degree of elegance and that the rims need a touch of bright work to keep things in balance with that look, especially after adding SR sliders/bumper and a roof rack.

I got the poser bead-lock from procomp - 17 X 8.5 - 4.75 BS they fit the tires well and are still (barely) inside the flares. Looks ok, better in person.
