30% tread left?? isn't that....well...not much left? lol

The speedo reading of a standard Celica is known to over-read by a small amount (say 5 - 6 %) eg: show 70 Mph when you're actualy doing 66 Mph . Most cars do this - they design them to over read rather than under read for safety reasons.
So I reckon that when you fit bigger wheels (which can cause slight under read by the same amount) your speedo will if anything be more accurate than ever because the over and under read will cancel each other out.

Neverstop, if the rims are scratch free and look clean, I maybe interested in them when your ready to sell them.

...(P205/50R16 All-Season SBR BSW Yokohama Tires) Fits 5 lug patterns. Need to sell asap.

If I'm not mistaken stock GT tires are 205/55/15. So if you go +1, 205/50/16 shouldn't change the overall diameter of the rim and tire and you will have accurate speedometer reading.

Toyota is a bitch when it comes to prices on rims. i had to buy a new rim for my car recently 450 for one rim, and the trd rims i want are 2k

[FallenHero]

I really don't like the look of TRD rims. I wanted some once, but I realized that it was becaust they were TRD. Buy a product, not a name. But hey, if they look good,

[hioctane]

hey. People who have the 7th gen gts rims on their 6th gen celica. Did you guys notice any changes in the speedometer, and the handling of the car????

What are some of the pros can cons of having a 7th gen gts rims?

[NEVERSTOP]

Hioctane... I didnt notice ne cons with the 7th gen rims on. I really like them... there just not wide enuf to hadle the torque of the 3sgte so I need to get rid of them.. as for the conditon there still VERY good.. I have had them for 1.5 years and they have been babied the whole time. before that they sat in a grage for a year or so because they wouldnt fit on my friends camary that he baught them for.

I will be sellin them as soon as I get these


I will post them here and who ever wants them can make offers for them at that time.
