I was wondering if anyone has ever seen these on a TC?

I kinda like them just dunno how well they would look on a tc or how well they would function and if i did get them id want them staggered 7.5 up front and 9 in the rear and id want to keep the lips they show in the picture oh and i like the center caps with the nut looking thing in the middlethe smooth caps look weird.

Can't say that I have. Have you priced them yet?
Try this, very similar come in 17X8 and 17X9.

I agree with Dan. The example he shows looks pretty good. The style in the first link seems way too "thick" to me. Just my $.02 worth.

those borbets are about 1000 for 4 wheels and no tires kinda pricey for a set of 16's but they are supposed to be really light weight

haha im pretty sure these wouldnt fit and i dont mean cause of the bolt pattern cause that can be change but just cause they are 18x10 with a +44mm offset but if they would omg they would look sick with the 18x9 on the front

I only bought 18x9 with the 24mm offset. They are fitted for 94-04 Mustangs so a hub swap front and rear would be in order. Mine probably wont be bolted on until april or so.
