I can get a great price on them. They say they are chrome, but they look gunmetal with a chrome lip. Well, what do you think?

EDIT: they have 5/100 size, but the offset is 39. What does that mean, and will they still fit?

offset means the mounting point is offset 39 (not sure the units, MM possably ) outward, which means theyd fill the fenders in our celicas very well
awesome very unique rims! go for it if you can get a good price!

[95STCelica]

I think they'd look good on a Mustang or maybe a Trans AM..not sure about a celica though but go for it if you can get a good price on them

[FallenHero]

do they look all chrome to yall?

yeah they look all chrome, it could be the lighting in that particular photo though.

I'm usually not into the bling-bling look but those rims are pretty tight. they would look great on a black car.

[Coomer]

I like those rims, and they definitely look chrome to me too.

What size are you thinking of getting?

[hi_rider]

Sweet !!!!!

They do look chrome, but dark chrome ??? Whats that ??!!!

[macavely]

IMO you should get them and those numbers mean they will be a great fit to a 6gc

[deX]

IMO, i dont really feel rims. i dont think chrome rims look good on a celica. butta thats just me.

[jumpinccv]

Mos def, chrome..And i think they look good..id have to agree with 95st..abou the trans am kinda look..but I think they would give a really unique and cool look with a celi...go for it...

[Neipas09]

Yea those are deffinetly a Pontiac looking rim. But they are chrome if that is what you are wanting

I can just picture them on a Trans Am something phatty like that..

[true4form]

Aren't the Foose products really expensive? Some special on TLC (?) about Hot Rods and Chip Foose, his customs rims were like $6,000 each.

The Lusso Silvers are nice, not that chromed out look -- but not in 5x100

[FallenHero]

OK! here is what's happening. My supplier and I have been talking about these rims and I told him I didn't really like him. SO, he sent me heretires

I'm thinking I'm gonna get the rims in the picture below, but I CANNOT make up my mind. (they offer almost every kind of rim except OZ 'the bastards')

So tell me what you think, and help me make up my mind. I want the RacingHarts, but the other two are cool also.





Let me know what you think. Also, if you have any suggestions on other rims.

If this goes smoothly, I'll start offering rims for sale at my 'discouted' price.

:Bump.:

[95STCelica]

Racing Hart C2 Evo's or C5s

[presure2]

i like the last 2

[Sh0gunkid8721]

the VERY last one

[FallenHero]

I don't really like the Velox because they are dished. Konig Absolute's look just like them except they aren't dished. Yall don't like the RH's? I must admit, I started likeing them when they were on the F&F Supra...

OOOk, This is the rim (or 'wheel') I'm going to get. It depends on if my buddy can get them as cheap as the Racing Heart's. What do yall think?

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Personally, i like them waaay better than the Foose ones

[FallenHero]

See, I rely on yall. Do you like them or no?

[hi_rider]

I like the 7 spoke design. I'd go with those in 17.
The only thing I don't like is the paint.....not enough shinny ?....

[FallenHero]

are you saying they are too shiney, or not enough? See, I just don't know. These are the only ones other than the OZ rims that I really care for.

Edit: How do yall like the 17 by 7" set up?

YEA I SAW A THING ON DISCOVERY ABOUT CHIP FOOSE AND HOW HE WAS LIKE TOP OF HIS CLASS IN CUSTOM CARS OR SOMETHING LIKE . THE TIRES ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE WER ACTUALLY THE TIRES HE MADE FOR THAT SHOW WHEN HE WAS DESIGNING A FORD THUNDERBIRD FOR SEMA 2001

I have a friend selling the RH 3pc C2s for $1300 with brand new tires..great deal you should snatch it up...PM me if ur interested

[nitro]

[B] [CODE]i don't think that much chrome should go anywhere near a celica

[hi_rider]

I would like more shinny, but, you know, this is just my taste ! My old mille miglia Action had a paint that shinned like no others and I liked it. Since that time, I feel like the other wheels don't shine enough...Maybe it is just the picture, in real they may be better.
17x7 is a good choice.
Since I have 17x8 I like 17x8 even more, but the wheel weights more. You put 215-40-17 on a 17x 8 and you have a wide looking wheel, very nice.
I guess 17x7 is stronger.
Make sure you love the wheels you buy cause you're gonna have them for a while !!!
If you prefer to wait a bit to save more money, well wait a bit. Just make sure they are the ones you want !

[FallenHero]

does anybody on here have seven spoke wheels? I'd like to see something similar. And like I said, I'm getting them at wholesale factory direct. My firend and I are about to start a small business and I'm getting ready for that. We've sold a few sets of rims, and I've decided I need some as well. I'll start selling rims on here pretty soon. After I get mine in, I'll start taking orders. Everything should be around $600 for just rims. That's for like Axis, Racing hart, etc. The cheaper rims will be less. I can sell these Axis for 550, and anywhere else you look, they're about 900 a set.
