Hey Guys, Ive been on a search for quite a while now and i cant figure out what kind of rims would look best for my Toyota Celica Gt.
If you guys have any suggestions, i would be very delighted to know your opinion.

Thanks guys,
Victor

Do something different.
7th gen rims and TC rims are very overused.
Save up a little more money and do something more tasteful.

Something like this would work great on your coupe. Especially the white on gold combo (also comes in silver and gunmetal grey, but
id honestly go with gold if its good looking white paint on your car)

Inexpensive & great styling.

anybody have a pic with a celica on SSR Type F rims.... im still in search for some really nice looking 16x7 rims that will say dayum you got some really nice rims. the ssr a pricey and im looking for another alternative. all the good looking rims are in 17". or if I do find a 16x7 nice looking rim, its only for a bolt pattern of 4x100, maybe i can ask the manufacture if they can custom make the bolt pattern to 5x100????

oh also Im looking at rims that only have 5 wholes, rims that will specifically fit 5x100 bolt pattern and nothing else. Becuase if the rim also has a bolt pattern of 5x114 it just looks ugly keep that in mind if you guys come across any nice rims, the search continues kindasad.gif

nope your wrong, I said I was looking for 16" rims and those rgII's only come in 17" with the lug pattern 5x100. and at $390 a wheel thats way to much money.... id take the ssr type f over those anyday and pay $10 more a rim. looks like im going with these and I will have to powder coat them that color, that white color only comes standard in 17"...



16x7 with +35 offset at 15 pounds each rim at $760 shipped to my door from Tirerack.com

way to small on our cars I dont think so. My car came with 14" stock steelies. Those were way small. now the gt came with 15" allow wheels, small.

But the 16's are a perfect fitment between track and look. Yes Ive seen 17's on a celica before from past meets and I do agree they look good with 215/45R17 tires. Im currently running 16" motegi ff7 right now and I like the look. With the coilovers I will buy the drop and gap will look great. Might I remind you that im looking for lightweight rims so 17" ultraleggera would weigh about 1.5 pounds more per tire. lighter wheels more power. and also since the spokes on the ultraleggera are long and skinny, a 16" rim will make the spoke look a little thicker becuase it will look more compact, logically thinking, whether or not thats true I will have to see them in person.

the 17x8 weigh 3 pounds more than the 16". and they are an inch wider which is where it adds most of the weight. so the 17" are a definate no!

well I will be needing to get my wheels painted white since the 16" rims only come in silver.

What is the difference between anadoized and powder coat. Ive been searching online for the past 10 min but still no clear answer, i want a short and sweet answer. Or a link that clearly states the differences with pros and cons Please!?
