Found some rims I like the looks of on ebay. I didn't know if someone who knows things bout wheels and rims could help me out.
link to the rims

1. THese look cheap, i know it. Is there a look-alike that these were copied from that are actually from a reputable company?

2. If not, how much would quality be an issue for the rims? I would throw away the tires these come with, and get some real ones, but would it matter if the rims aren't brand name?

3. Will these fit a celica? It says 4 bolt pattern, but looking at the pics, obviously it is not so. Its a 5 bolt pattern. Will these fit our cars?


Thanks for the help!

They look good to me. When I saw them, it reminded me of a Kaotik wheel. So I went to their site and found it.Kaotik Wheels

if you like those rims id go for it! the brand is bsa, a japanese make, they are very good quality at a very good price, imported all over, seriously, theyre quite popular over here, i had a different set the bsa187s, theyre not copies of anything just cheap to start off with, im thinking of goin back to a set myself because you really do get a lot for your money
personally i think they make nicer lookin wheels but its you thats buying them, have no worries about the brand name though, i would recomend them to anyone, hope this is helpful wink.gif
ps, look into the wheel bolts, thinking about it they probably will be a 4bolt pattern as thats the sale advert picture not the actual wheel, with it being a 5 spoker it looks better with 5 bolts, they do however come in 4 and 5 bolt patterns, mine were 4 bolts,
good luck!

no, read the description. it's for a 4x100 bolt pattern. if you look at the application list, you will see a list of all the cars that have this bolt pattern. the 6th gen celica is not listed. unless there is an enormous mixup, the wheels in that auction will not fit. smile.gif.

On the pic posted their was 5. But the auction is for rims with a 4 bolt pattern. They are just using a generic pic which shows 5 lug.

I can get 4 rims shipped for $450. With cheap tires shipped for $600. I did a lousy job photochopping them onto my car...
