I need your opinions....
I currently have 16" Avanti Mags and dunlop SP tyres, and I'm interested in upgrading to directional sport tyres... The only issue i have, is that the for the tyres i want (Sport, lower noise, etc) Are very expensive.. Plus im not really that keen on the mag wheels that i have currently. I've been told that upgrading to 17'' mags that i'd be better off, as i can style my car, tyres are more readily available and are cheaper. So, here is what i'd like to ask... What do you think would suit my car better? http://www.hyperdrive.co.nz/product/wheel-...o/303765/detail http://www.hyperdrive.co.nz/product/wheel-...o/166938/detail Both are the same price, and include tyres.

I recommend a 16x8 instead, which gives you a lower wheel and tire price. You can still get all the grip your Celica wants with a 205/50, and you don't gain the extra weight. Positive loss all around. Whoever told you that 17" is better refers only to breadth of tire selection, since it is the most popular size. That does not mean that selection for the 16" doesn't exist.
I actually like the wheels you have now, if you were closer I'd look into purchasing those from you. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Jul 31, 2013 - 9:34 AM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
