wow those look good!
but i couldn't find a set of 17's, and i figured 18's were too big

so i went with these:
17x8 +32 C-One SA-70 by WedsSport
They are cast, not forged, but only weigh 17.0 lbs.
they are now discontinued, and i grabbed the last set in North America
my car is red so i should be able to pull off the red inner lip, also got some red lightweight Muteki lugs nuts
I'll probably wrap them in 225/45/17 Nitto Invos
But they won't be on till the snow melts

Tell me what you think of my choice

SA70s are great but SA90s have much more dimension. Work Kais are nice but same thing, flat and plain, the XD9s have more dimension, I have these. Get something with a lip.

trdproven, i was looking at all the wheels you mentioned
the sa90 is beautiful, but only comes in 16x7 with +33 offset, while i really wanted a 17x8
i like the works but do not care for the matte grey and matte bronze finishes they come in (no offense) i just like the look of gloss much more
also the works only came in 17x7.5, not 17x8, and IMO they are much too heavy for what they cost
i did want something with a lip, but oh well
my dream wheels are the 17x8 +31 offset Volk GT-C in gold
or Volk TE37s 17x8 +38 in gold
but almost not worth it on a 1994 celica because the wheels cost more than the car

SA90s do come in sizes you want unless theyve been discontinued, for the xd9's they go all the way to maybe 10" wide. Any mods done on your celi is worth more than the car anyways. Car hobbies are more like investments rather than being practical.
