I am looking for some wheels preferably 16 inches. My car is black so I'm thinking black wheels, I really know nothing about them so any advice as far as brands or sites to by from would be helpful.

I'm gonna say no on 7th gen wheels, unless you get spacers. FITMENT makes wheels look good, and 7th gen wheels are very tucked on a 6th gen. I don't have any suggestions off hand (i'll look later) but find something with at least a +35 offset if you are looking at wheels that are around 7" or 7.5" wide.

better a little tucked in and knowing where your place is, then trying to look like everyone else.
cheap, lightweight, strong, good looking, 7 spoke, 5 spoke, 6 spoke, what are you looking for??? you can go simple with work wheels, Volk Rays, or you can go VIP AME rims that i have my eye on one (yes i just got my 18's but these AME's are BA ) these are the ones i have my eyes on this site has a listing of all sorts of rims This post has been edited by 808celica: Dec 1, 2008 - 3:24 AM -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

16s are too small. 17's to me is that in-between compromise. Get brands such as work or ame. I like rare wheels compared to common ones. After that hook up your tires with ZR 40 series wheels. They are not thin if you get the right combination - mine look like 45 series.

better a little tucked in and knowing where your place is, then trying to look like everyone else. Knowing where my place is? Luckily for me, I stopped caring what everyone else thinks back when I graduated high school. And quite the opposite is true. I rarely see cars with nice flush wheels. I think I'll have my car with excellent fitting wheels, even if I'm "trying to look like everyone else". Either way, reading that statement was good for a laugh!

I prefer the stock upgraded look, which is why I prefer the GTS wheels and even the TC wheels that I had on my car before I sold it.
I think the TC's look fantastic with some spacers in the rear. It's hard to get wheels perfectly flush in the rear anyways since the rear wheels are sucked in stock. -Matt |

I plan on buying some raze r74 like the ones vincent doggy posted that pic of the black celica. Im gettin those with silver finish from a website in miami florida.
Its called edgeracing.com probably the cheapest wheel and tire package site online that i know of. Only bad thing is almost all of their 17" rims are sold out for the moment. So they won't restock for another month. freagin dumb This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: Dec 12, 2008 - 8:56 PM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts
