Not bad, couple TSX projectors retrofitted would complete the look nicely

Release Series models have always had unique alloys...

yeah, i was hoping for that too.
and if i'm getting a Scion tC, screw all the dealer optional marked up aftermarket parts. Give me a base model with steelies and I'm putting my own mods. I want this for a dd.

The one that has steelies is called "Spec package."
It comes with steel wheels, urethane wheels, different interior and slightly different exterior and a fixed roof.
