I had my heart set on some 17" inovit stvi alloys but now im having doubts.

What does everyone think are the best type of wheels that suit the gen 6 celica?

well my rims on now of course laugh.gif only because its my car. although i want a diff color and offset number.

that and Work Meister S1 or SSR SP1 Professor which one comes to me. (both look the same)
also
-Work Emotion XD9 (bronze)
-Work VS-XX (Gold)
-AME circular spec R (gunmetal, also my fav rim)
-5zigen (pronouced GoZigen) FN01R-c if you can find some
-Advan RG II (Gold)
-Volk TE37

These are all my top pics of course. Diff people have diff tastes.

.........and of course all these rims are available to me used. But there is usually a catch, whether one rim is unrepairable, price, size too big, or badly damaged beyond repair.
Of course if I had the $$ to get any set new in my specs i would biggrin.gif

Volk TE37's or Advan RGII's.
Im slightly biased though biggrin.gif

Volk CE28N's and Work Meister S1's also rock my world. The choice is huge tbh and its all about personal preference.

Have a look here for some inspiration Speed Hunters

What wheels look best on your car? Whatever wheels you like best. That's all there is to it. The wheels I like are guaranteed to be different from the wheels you like. I prefer something simple on a 6gc. A nice 5 spoke design, nothing fancy. All the wheels stated above do look good on the car though.

the Advan RS and the new SSR Type F rims has the same style. But I prefer the ssr becuase they come in 16x7 size and are superlight. I think the ssr are a tad bit cheaper

I love your list of rims hahah. I'm looking for a set of the VS-XX or BBS LM to replace my XD9 haha. I would also like to add that I think the FN01RC wheels only look good in concave wink.gif.

There's so much that goes into making rims look good on your car, such as, ride height, offset, and tire size. But I think your choice of the 17" inovit stvi would be great in bronze with a good offset, around 30+ or lower if you want to roll/shave your fenders. Oh! And also a nice set of coilovers to make everything hella flush. mmmmm.
