So SexciCelicaChikk and I trying to do something different from your average 6th gen. By going to different limits and doing clean custom work that will set her Celi apart from the rest. This inculdes as most have you have seen an outragous audio system, custom body kit(still in the concept stage), and more. But I actually want to put a little focus on the wheels for a moment. She found a set of rims that sparked her insterest and ladies when something sparks "IT SPARKS" Unfortunatly their lowest size tho nice is pushing the envelope quite a bit for most peoples taste, which is what is drawing me closer to liking them as well. So what Im asking for is thoughts, opinions, and ideas wether negative or postive. Question is Do you think this can work? Here's some pics to help with more of a visual idea: The two Rims she's eyeing right now ![]() ![]() Her Celica ![]()

If this isn't a race car (which it clearly is not) then why does "increasing the rotational mass" even matter?
@OP: I say go for it. The only comment I have is that you're gonna need some kind of aggressive body kit (TRD sides, C-One front, C-One rear, TRD wing, etc) otherwise the 19's will look humongous, no matter how low you go -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold

I've seen heavier cars pulled just fine with smaller engines... A 1985 Nissan B11 comes to mind. Hell, even a Genesis Coupe 2.0T with the Brembo and 19" Wheel package. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
