Title: What rims would you have on your 4 if you had the choice of any?
Post by: Driveby on October 31, 2009, 04:50:41 pm: I was wondering what you guys would have if you had the choice, wether they be OEM or after market, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda whatever, post pics of the wheel if you can on whatever car.
They dont have to be Celica fitment as where theres a will and a credit card ;)...

Post by: simonst205 on October 31, 2009, 05:52:22 pm: I think these would look good on your car and not too expensive. I'd go for et35 front and et30 rear for best looks/handling and to avoid catching the wheel arches..

I also like bronze coloured wheels like in the attached picture which are Work Emotion XD9

Post by: Wiggy on November 02, 2009, 08:28:54 pm: My choice of wheels would be OZ roulettes and I have OZ roulettes fitted ;)

Given the choice I'd probably go for 17's maybe but the 16's suit the 165 very well :)

Post by: Rob_A on November 03, 2009, 10:46:22 am: Slightly realistic ones? ...I have them on the way from Japan as we speak :D

Unrealistic ones?...

Post by: Coyoteboy on November 12, 2009, 03:09:49 pm: Carbon rims are stunning and so unbelievably lightweight they must make the suspension and accel/braking so much better, but really not sensible for street use due to damage etc.

I still like the old 17" oz 5 spokes. Not a fan of roulettes, as they look a bit too steel-wheely

These are certainly jizz worthy ;D

Would love some ultra lightweight carbon rims ;) How much if you don't mind me asking?

Tell me more...

Had them on the CS but they were only 16's and 17's would look soooo much nicer. I can use them on the 165 or even the 162 ;) they would look spot on :)

Post by: Driveby on November 18, 2009, 07:05:03 am: Ive bought some Advan RGII's (the ones I posted the pick of)

Wiggy the TE37's are 16" mate, I dont know if this means your not interested?
Title: Re: What rims would you have on your 4 if you had the choice of any?
Post by: Wiggy on November 18, 2009, 11:34:06 am: Not my old ones are they....lol

Send me a piccie ;) Might stick them on the 162 :)
Title: Re: What rims would you have on your 4 if you had the choice of any?
Post by: Driveby on November 18, 2009, 11:56:19 pm: Your old ones as in the ones that were on Jeff's CS? From what I remember looking at them they werent the correct offset?
Doesnt matter anyway as they arent those :) These are pretty much mint apart from the usual bit of sticker degradation.

Post by: Wiggy on November 19, 2009, 08:42:42 am: Yep, them ones off Jeff... And yes the offset was wrong, think they were from a scoobie? They fit my CS ok though, just looked a little odd on the back because they didn't fill the fat arch...
So, wonga time - what you after for them and whats the tyre size? The tyres may be no use because a 205 rolling radius is too big for a 165/162.
PM me if you prefer ;)
