What brand are the 2nd ones?
Seen them on a couple cars, just curious if these are the legit jdm ones or knock offs?
But to run those you'd need to be pretty slammed and stretched IMO
Not really a fan of the other 2

I would go with the 1st one with no red lip if you had a Gt-Four.
With any other trim I'd go with the 2nd.

To be honest, i'd probably go with suspension before wheels:
1. Celica's sit like monster trucks with rims and without lowering so you probably won't be that happy with it.
2. Depending on how low you want to go, you will be able to pick a set of wheels that will fit better, and you'll know if you need to roll your fenders, run spacers etc.

XXR is more or less the definition of knock off cast wheels, definitely not JDM.
