Hello I just tried my 19" TSW thruxton wheels and tires on my celica they look great but are too big they slow the car down too much. My problem is I love the deep dish they have especially the rear set which is 9.5" wide they have a 3.5" dish.

-I am only interested in buying rims with a deep dish. I can't find any, or a list of any, I am thinking of 17" rims with a deep dish can anyone show me a good company to go to for this style rim or where to look?



-I originally picked my thruxtons as they are exactly the same as Nibbe so I didn' shop around and find how to locate deep dishes.


-Can you even get 17" rims with a deep dish? Oh I also want them to be light weight if possible????

that's because deep dish wheel designs are dependent on low offsets. FWD cars typically do NOT wear low offset wheels, therefore... VERY difficult to find low offset wheels that will look deep dish and fit decently well.. let alone being 9.5 inches wide cwm13.gif
