Visalia, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/21/2011 -- Fresno Scion owners and shoppers can now outfit the 2011 Scion tC with 19-inch alloy wheels made by TRD (Toyota Racing Development.) While this type of wheel is normally found on high-end sports cars, Fresno Scion fans will be able enhance their 2011 Scion tCs with this equipment. Alloy wheels are lighter than regular steel wheels while not sacrificing any structural strength.

This streamlined engineering is what makes alloy wheels standard for racecars, and they are now available to Fresno Scion drivers.

Fresno Scion Alloy Wheel And Lowering Spring Specifications

The 19-inch wheels are made from cast aluminum alloy and designed specifically for the 2011 Scion tC. Cast wheels are much easier to repair and maintain than forged wheels. They feature 35 mm offset, 5-on-114.3 mm bolt circle (P.C.D.) and conical-seat lugholes. The wheels have a stylish 7-spoke design in finished gloss graphite silver with matching snap-in TRD caps. They are completely compatible with Scion’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System, ensuring all low-pressure alerts will remain as accurate as before. The wheels undergo extensive ride, handling and strength tests, so Fresno Scion customers can rest assured that they meet the highest safety standards.

Visalia Scion will also install TRD lowering springs to enhance the performance provided by alloy wheels. Lowering springs will lower the vehicle’s center of gravity by 1 inch, giving the vehicle quicker turn-ins, enhancing cornering abilities and overall improvements in steering response. The springs work with OE struts and shocks with new jounce bumpers for increased travel. The springs have been tested on multiple Toyota tracks.
