16" or 17" Wheels. Options

This is how I'll start to see all of you with 18"+ rims.

Needs lowering

I like the 17s but they're a bit more expensive and don't have as good as tire selection.

I still stick to my theory of 18's for the 6, The arches are just too big

I don't disagree with the looks aspect of an 18, but you must admit that a negative handling change occurs when going from 16 to that.

To a degree I have to admit that although on my White one that I had it was a better ride on the 18's than the 16s although if you've got the right tyre profile etc then yeah 16's would suit fine

sr666, I'm pretty sure the reason why most people disagree with you that 18s don't look good on our cars is mainly because compact tuner cars are meant to be with smaller wheels like 15s-17s. Lol. But hey. Our Celica does have it's luxurious side so 18s do fit perfect with our cars also. It's just all self preference. I understand where you're coming from. the 18s covers the wheel well just perfect but then again you can do the same with smaller wheels with bigger sidewalls.

Running 16's with 195/45/16 Toyo Proxies for mine. Mild stretch on a 8" wheel and fits nicely.
