I want some GT-S rims. Now, I know that the MR-2 has the same rims. What about the matrix and all? Do any other new or old Toyotas have really good looking stock rims that will fit our cars?

What's a good price to pay for GT-S rims, and also where is a good place to look for them?

I am thinking about getting the GT-S rims until I can afford more expensive 18" rims.

I'm still not too sure about it but everyone is saying that they look good.

Are they 15" or 16" rims?

I got my rims from some guy in another forum. www.norcalcelicas.org
Be patience, and you'll find gt-s rims for a decent price. I was about to pay 300$ for gt-s rims, but the owner sold it to another celica owner when i tried bargaining with him. I got my gt-s for $200 =) They are in perfect condition, no scratches or anything. The guy gave me all 25 lugs with wheel locks.

I would only purchase those rims, if it goes for 300$ or lower. Anything higher than $300 isn't worth it........
Remember the rims are "stock". THey look good though.

They look like 17s or 16s and 3/4

i'd say anywhere under 400 for the set would be a good price...ever try and see what 1 costs new? i know a stock 94 gt rim goes for 275..

Thanks guys. I've got to sell my intake, then I am either gonna buy lots of little parts, skirts, full air system, or GT-S rims. I'm leaning toward the rims though.

I want me a set of GT-S rims bad but I can't justify paying 500 dollars for some with worn out tires or 600 brand new (NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING!) thats just too much money for stock 16's on a popular car, I keep looking on ebay, hopefully Ill get lucky and find a decent set for around 400 including tires.

yes, but also remember, factory parts are much more than aftermarket, and are usually a little higher quality. wink.gif that's why they are so much, the only reason people think they are cheap is because they don't know how much stuff should actually cost. so even 500-600 for a set of stock 16" celica gt-s wheels would be a bargin, considering they are probably at least 250 each. i'm just guesstimating though, cause my 14" alloy ST wheels were 225 or so each...just some food for thought. wink.gif

I NEED rims. but then again, I need loads of things. Besides, most people that get a new car, then get rims have no clue what their stuff is worth. It's bad to cheat people, but I also think it's bad to point out errors. : )
