WHICH WHEEL SHOULD I GET Options

[babi_boi]

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.

[trdproven]

I mean honestly...none of the two.

Is that your style or did you need recommendations. Sorry I just go for the known Japanese styles. There's many wheel threads.

But honestly the two wheels look almost the same so I don't really have any option to pick which is better of the two.

[SwissFerdi]

The top one seems chrome to me, so no on that one...and the other one looks a bit too muscle for the Celi. Neither. But of the of two, the latter.

If I had to pick between them wheel a
but honestly they don't look right for a celica to me
but its your car to do as you wish

[babi_boi]

I called a wheel place and told them I wanted either a 15 or 16 inch wheel. I would like the wheel to kinda have the deep dish look to it. Also the wheel must be flush with my body line. I dont want a super lot of spokes. If I did I would get wire wheels. I dont really know if I like the options they gave me. That is why I started this topic. If ANYBODY knows anything better than what I was given to choose from, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME. hopefully I can find something better than these 2.

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

^ 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.

[HectortheRican]

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.

[babi_boi]

Ok, Thank you everybody for the coments. I will look into the wheels posted. Please keep the suggestions coming

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

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

Remember now cheaper wheels crack easy 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.

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.

cast vs forged wheel arguement I guess...

150 dollars a wheel vs 500$ a wheel..to each his own I guess.

Not really an arguement, I have no problem buying cheap wheels, (price wise). I just want good quality. If I have to spend a little extra to get a better quality wheel than that is what I am going to do. I would rather spend a little extra the first time and get a good quality wheel, and have it last. VS. Buy a cheap wheel (quality wise) and have it break in a couple months. Then I have to do the whole process over again. Just makes more sense to me to do it right the first time.

However, I am still looking for a set of wheel that will go good on my celica. Thank you everybody for your comments and suggestions. PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING.

So far I think I like the "Volk Rays CE28" the best. Any opinions about this wheel would be great.

They look sick.
I believe there is a white gt four with those in a bronze color on 6gc somewhere, not sure the name though.
