lol..you didnt see the red car in my sig??

[goferris]

i like your current rims personally. if you want to change though i like the enkei evo 5. not sure how the bronze will look on red.

[Valo666]

im still thinkin of maybe gettin another set of them in 17" and paintin em bronze...I got the rims for cheap enough any ways. Like i paid $500 for the rims and tires brand new.

EDIT: my rims photoshopped in bronze

your current rims=ultra nice.
the others wheels are nice but i like yours,andi havent seen them on other cars.
those 5zigens and others are all over.

If you are going to get the others go with the volk replicas.Although they look kinda similar to the ones you have now.

naw i suck @ life - i usually dislike black rims but you'd pull it off good on that car

I always thought white wheels looked good on a red car. Here's some pics of my old Alfa Romeo with white 17" rims.







Really make your car stand out! (Do your calipers red too for full effect!)

Volk replicas

Volk replicas

They were actually Technomagnesio, or was it Teknomagnesio (I can't remember which) something or others, LOL (Can't remember that either!). I do remember that they weren't cheap. Mind you, that was back when 17's were considered large diameter wheels and you paid through the nose for them!

The third ones. Anything that is black, IMO, looks best with a polished lip

[Valo666]

i dont like white rims though. I wanna keep the car a red and black theme. White rims just standout too much. I like having a more subtel look. I want people to look at my car cuz they think its nice, not becuase of the big contrast in colours.

I had something similar on my last car, I loved them but looking at it now, I think they looked a bit "lost", maybe it was the colour of the car that didn't work, too much black?

[Sinyk]

I really like the polished lip and I never thought of it as white, but it's your car. I personally don't like black rims because they don't look like anything unless you are up close.

Precisely! Looking at the pics of my old car, like I said, they look lost. Maybe you're right, bronze might be best

[manphibian]

Keep the wheels you have mate, i think they're awesome. They would also look good if you painted them bronze, or a dark metallic grey.

Volk Te-37







ssr comp







Work Emotion xd-9







Work Meister



I think these are all good looking options for the celica. hope this helps

[Valo666]

i love the emotions, but i dont think they would work well on a celi, same with the TE37s.

Gram Lights on the other hand do look pretty sexy

[Dee-No]

CE28 or Ultraleggera

[6gsillyca]

That black vert with the gold grams seems somewhat familiar...


I would go with the CE28's, although not in bronze. Personally I would go with a gunmetal/dark gunmetal, for a red car at least.

BTW the first pic eggman posted doesn't look like te37's. The spoke should be more flat, then curve in (almost like the 2nd pic).

[Valo666]

could some one photoshop these rims onto my car??..same colour and every thing.
17x8 Superleggera's

onto this....


Im kinda really liking the idea of red car with red calipers and black rims.

[DSToyo]

best i can do...

[Valo666]

thanks man...that looks pretty hot.

[eggman40]

thanks man...that looks pretty hot.

I would also look into some Gram Lights 57s. I woulda had those but i got scamed in the process

[95CelicaST]

I am a bit bias, but Rays FTW

[Aus]

TE37's look awsome on a celica!

Let me find a picture to convince you......



Here it is! (magic's gt4) The TE37's compliment the celica perfectly in my opinion.
