Having a little trouble deciding on which wheel I should purchase. Please help by picking one or the other.

WHEEL A


WHEEL B


I know the they are similar, just not sure exactly which one.
Let me know your thoughts. Thank You.

what's your budget? XXR 962 might be a nice option


I wont be actually ordering the rims for a couple months. Thats why I started looking now. So that way I can try to get exactly what I want. So budget is not really a problem.

if you dont feel like dropping 2k on wheels you can always get Rota's


I don't think he's doing a cheap parts build on this car

^ Or don't, and buy proper wheels.

Take advantage of the few months you have, and buy a set at a good price online, where you'll likely find the best deal. Screw that wheel shop if that's their recommendation.


Lolz yeah If a shop's recommendations are those then they aren't really doing their job properly

I say neither - unless you're going for a DUB look, which I don't think our Celicas can pull off very well. There are plenty of great wheels out there; if you're looking for cheap, Rota, Drag, and XXR are decent options and if you're looking for pricier shoes, Enkei, RAYS, and SSR, among many others, are great.


Remember now cheaper wheels crack easy wink.gif and they just copy designs from the other guys

babi_boi I DO recommend lowering the car first before upgrading rim sizes, atleast that way you can see what your max tire/wheel size will be before you have any other issues

"I don't think he's doing a cheap parts build on this car"

No I am not going for whatever is cheapest. I want my car to be done right. WITH GOOD QUALITY. I would rather pay a little extra to ensure good quality and get what I want vs. paying as little as possible and getting something that wont last and has bad quality.






"Lolz yeah If a shop's recommendations are those then they aren't really doing their job properly"

The bad part about this is when I first told the lady what I wanted, she said they didn't have anything at all. I had to wait a day or 2 for them to find the wheels I posted. And they still aren't what I wanted.






"babi_boi I DO recommend lowering the car first before upgrading rim sizes, atleast that way you can see what your max tire/wheel size will be before you have any other issues"

Come this february I plan to take the car off the road again. During the time she is off the road I plan to redo my suspension. As well as some engine work, and possibly some side skirts, front and rear splitters, and maybe a new hood.
