Hey! I'm looking for new wheels for my 6GC. The original BBS wheels have taken a beating after 300k+ miles. A couple are difficult to balance, so just planning ahead here. I don't need anything fancy - preferably, something stock looking. Maybe stock 15s off of a Camry or Corolla? Plus, manufacturers are pulling back on making 14" tires, so my tire replacement options are becoming limited each time I buy.

Thanks!

My wife's 1998 Camry wheels don't have the same bolt spacing as my 1994 Celica GT. I think the bolt spacing is 5-100 or something like that. be sure to make sure they fit before buying them. My new celica had these nice looking 17" wheels on it with 205 45 r15 tires. good tires but the wheels weighed several pounds more than my 1994 GT stock 15" alloy wheels. I put my stock wheels and snow tires on my car for the winter. The stock alloys are around 16 pounds. My 17" wheels were probably more like 20 pounds. Un-sprung weight (wheel weight) is bad so I'm selling my 17" wheels and getting nice 205 55 r15 tires for my stock 15" wheels once I take my winter tires off. I'd offer to sell you the 17" wheels but the shipping from Alaska is horrible.
