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 thumbsup.gif

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.

hey. thanks for the reply. im not familiar with wheels and tires. is there a reason why low profiles are not recommended in this case? i dont realy have a choice as the tires are supplied.
