6G Celicas Forums

Hello to you all and a Happy New Year.
I'm a new member here and enjoying it to see that so many others love their celicas as i do.
My problem that i put to you all is trying to make up my mind on the wheels to get for my car. As you can see by my pic, they are seriously needed! Budget is not hugely expensive. No diamond incrusted rims for me! Please feel free to comment, even post me pics! Size i am wanting is 215/40/R17. Not wanting too small a profile as some roads my way physically hurt when holes can't be avoided!!

Best thing to do IMO is browse profiles/pix to see what you like. You can even use the advanced search feature to filter out others and only view cars that are similar to your model.

its personal preference really i know its hard to choose took me ages to decide i went with momo corse 17" in the end

wheels are something u dont want to go cheap on. honestly, tons of people on this site get over anxious and buy cheap wheels and just dont look good. save money and get a nice set. waiting and saving money to buy nice wheels is better than rushing and getting cheap and ugly wheels. my 2 cents

scion tc rims for the win

It really is a preference. Some people want to stay oem and get the tc wheels. some get the 7th gen gts wheels. Some like 5 spokes, some like 6, and some like a butt load. I like 5 spokes. I like after market wheels because of weight. Just search around and think of what you really like in wheels. I don't just like any 5 spokes. They actually have to start inside the lip and have a curve bending towards the outside. Found on some enkei wheels, volk racing wheels and many other makes. But price is always an issue.

DO NOT - I repeat do not - buy wheels without seeing it in person. Don't do it.

If you can't see that exact wheel, make sure you see something similar. I thought I knew what kind of wheel I wanted from shopping online. Then, on a hunch, I went to a showroom - I came back with a completely different wheel You just can't know how it will work on the car.

From what I can tell, a few trends are developing: Black is out. Gun-metal is massive. Bronze, multi-spoke and slags, is hot. Big spokes that overlap the rim (making a 17in look like 18in) with no lip or rim are huge.

Follow your heart. What your heart desires will give you endless happiness. LOL..

Found some that caught my eye. (Was looking over similar question posted.....Thanks CelicaST_Cali and Importchick95)
