Props for doing your own thing regardless what people would say/think. I actually like and appreciate the originality. Seems like the scene could use some originality lately especially with more and more people all modding their cars similarly now a days. My only suggestion is just maybe just a tad bit more low to get rid of some of that fender gap and it'd be spot on!
(Then again I could even be wrong on that and it could just be the pic angles and already sits perfect in real life)
Either way. PROPS!

You're right about the drop, and I do wish I could go lower to rid that gap in the rear, but I can't go lower without having to roll my fenders (and even that may not solve the problem) or else my tires will get chewed up in no time
I'm not ready to change my wheels just yet, so for now, my plan is to get a lip kit and roll with the current drop 
Plenty of room on the underside to add a front lip, side skirts and rear diffuser
Thank you kindly
Yes, I used to have a 2005 tC in the Flint Mica color, which I left stock. Then I got a 2008 tC in Black Sand Pearl, which had just about every Scion and TRD accessory offered (minus the supercharger unfortunately)

Thank you! I started planning for the car back in February of this year, and I knew I wanted something different from my usual black car/ gunmetal wheel look. It's bold, and ugly to some, but I like it

I've often wondered if it's possible to machine the inside of the wheel hub so it sits closer to the car without loosing structural integrity of the hub area so the wheel can sit a little closer to the car. sometimes it is hard to find the exact right offset.

FWIW I don't like dropped cars, but since your drop is so subtle if I were do drop my car, yours looks about perfect to me. I love the WIDE LOOK of the wheels as long as I have my sunglasses on! LMAO

I thought about machining the inside of the wheel hub but I just don't feel safe doing so. And I wouldn't feel comfortable selling the wheels like that afterward either.
At the end of the day, as mentioned it looks great with more low or not. Having years of experience working for a large named forged wheel manufacturer, you wouldn't believe how tired of seeing the same ol' drab B.S setups and color ways that simply get recirculated and brought back to life. Bottom line its ALWAYS nice to see someone doing something new/off the wall/pushing the limits, and you did it well (even though Im not a fan of forgestar ). Congrats, look forward to the progress pics with the kit!!! keep killin em' girl!

I know a lot of people aren't a huge fan of Forgestar, but so far I haven't had any issues with the product. I honestly chose the brand I did based on one thing and one thing only- I saw their setup at SEMA last year, had never even heard of Forgestar before, but I really liked the design of the wheel. A few months later, I found Mod Bargains and decided to go for it. I was originally looking at TE37s hehe
I'm waiting on Seibon to release a carbon fiber lip kit for my car
Until then, just more photos of the car as is hehehe
