hey guys. i know a guy selling 16in ricochet rims with new tires. Kumho Ecstas 205/50/16 low profiles all around. hes asking 500 but i think i can talk him down to 400-450.
 this is how it looks. just wondering how it would look on a celica. i really want bronze rims but this deal seems pretty good if i can get it down to 400. anyone have any idea how much the tires are worth and how long they'd last? |

i wouldnt go with low profile tires.... get something a bit more beefier than stock comparable size.
i think they would look sweet on your car. especially if you have tinted windows. get the contrast goin on. overall i vote yes  also.... take them to someone who has a balancing machine (tire shop) to make sure they arent bent and dont wobble. i got a set of used rims once and that was the case. now i dont pay till i check them out as said. -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

those would look pretty good. i have kuhmo ecsta tires. they're not the best but pretty good for what you're paying, depending on how much tread is left. and 205/50/16 is a good size. i wouldn't pay more than 450. and if you really want bronze rims, just paint them. that's what defgeph did.

those tyres arent too far removed from stock tyres size wise so dont worry about it

one more question. will i need to lower my car after this? the reason being lowering a car cost lots of money and i cant afford it right now if i get these rims.
will the gap with 16in low profiles be much different compared to 15in stock? |
