6G Celicas Forums _ Multimedia _ Who's rockin 7th Gen Rims?
Posted by: KAOS Aug 13, 2008 - 4:04 PM
I've come across quite a few threads in the past couple of days with users rolling on 7th GEN GT-S rims...
If you've got em, flaunt em!
I'd like to see what all the users have done with them (painted them, lowered with them, etc.)
I'll start w/ mine:

- they're in the garage but they are not yet mine]

I gotta post up...
btw: 7th gen wheels could also be taken as GT or GTS wheels just so you know, in case you were only looking for the GTS's 
Posted by: DEATH Aug 14, 2008 - 8:39 AM
The GTs look the same but they are only 15" 
I have no doubt you could have chosen to upgrade from the dealer but from the factory GTS had one style and GT had 2 IIRC - one of which looked like the GTS but was 15" instead of 16".

I've only seen one style of GT wheels for the 7th gen and they look nothing like the GTS's.
Posted by: DEATH Aug 14, 2008 - 1:18 PM
But they DO have 15" version - my old friend had them on his GT and I was gonna buy them until I found out they were not GTS rims. I know the ones you are talking about and they are UGLY!!!!
Posted by: snapshotgt Aug 14, 2008 - 1:32 PM
Yes, my old 15" 7th gen GT rims:
Posted by: 808celica Aug 14, 2008 - 1:32 PM
you sure not the hub-cap covered ones????
only if i had a gt4 hood TWINS
Posted by: DEATH Aug 14, 2008 - 1:49 PM
Nope - they're just like the GTS ones but 15" - similar to the MRS wheels but 5 lug [You guys are gonna make me bust out my '00 Celica Brochure on you aren't you?]
Snap - so sorry man - didn't know [But yeah I'm not a fan of those at all - some GTS got those and no wing too]
only if i had a gt4 hood TWINS The thought had crossed my mind the other day
Posted by: goferris Aug 15, 2008 - 8:24 PM
I've never seen a 15" version of these wheels either except on the ssIII but they are all painted white.
Posted by: GotToyota Aug 16, 2008 - 7:49 PM
I'd like to point out that I painted mine bronze before manphibian. I'd also like to put out a plug and say my car is for sale!

thanks gotToyota!

i sold my 7th gen rims, but here's an old pic:
Posted by: kamax Oct 23, 2008 - 11:19 PM
be warned, if your car doesn't have skirt or aint lowered, it might look a lil high up on stock GTS rims.
Posted by: KAOS Oct 24, 2008 - 8:26 AM
As opposed to how high up it looks on stock 94-99 GT-S rims which are 15"??
I'd rather have stock suspension and 7th gen 16" GTS rims than the 6th gen 15" 5 star rims...
... whos with me!?
Posted by: celicaboston1983 Feb 26, 2009 - 12:50 PM
what tires are u guys using and would it make a difference if i put 205/55/16 on instead of the 50-16?
Posted by: edm747 Feb 27, 2009 - 1:57 AM
No skirt, stock ride height, and on OEM Michelin Pilot 205/50-16s:
Posted by: whatthe Apr 5, 2010 - 8:12 PM
Hey azian_advanced are those tyres 215/50 ?
Also guys does anyone have their 7gen rims with spacers on so its flush with body and with pics?
Posted by: KAOS Apr 5, 2010 - 11:25 PM
Wow - back from the dead.
I gotta get updated pics of my new rims up here...

yeah they are but i cut them, i dont recommended though. i did it becuase i was planning to buy coilover a few weeks later and i wanted to see how it look like if i was low. sigh, i miss that car.

Im not on springs, i got the D2 full coilover set up, dropped about 2 inches, maybe a little more
Posted by: trebilihp Oct 3, 2010 - 10:41 PM
I put 215/50 on mines. Like them even in stock color, especially with 3l2 paint. I agree that 16x6.5 is not the best match but i wouldn't say it's a failure.
P.s: I'll get spacers next summer...
Posted by: whatthe Oct 3, 2010 - 11:25 PM
^ I like your car alot. A preface front and completely stock with no wing. I would even trade my car for one.
Posted by: trebilihp Oct 4, 2010 - 6:53 AM
Thanks! The only things i really plan are the spacer and a little drop, even tought I don't think it looks like a monster truck this way like others would say
Posted by: Matthew101 Feb 14, 2011 - 5:49 PM
where do you get stock spoiler kits from
Posted by: mkernz22 Feb 14, 2011 - 6:02 PM
there are no stock spoiler "kits"
Posted by: b22ri22an Jun 19, 2012 - 12:29 AM
thread resurrection 
I really like the gts wheels but my wheels appear to have a sunken in look, what would be the right size spacers. I read earlier in this thread +43 but in the same comment he added the wheels were fail so I don't know if it was just a large number thrown out cause he didn't like the wheels. others here said they were gonna put spacers what spacer sizes did those who have used
Posted by: S8S8 Jun 19, 2012 - 12:42 AM
Here are my 7th gen wheels, although they're different to what the rest of you guys have... Maybe these only came on Aussie 7th gens???
I need to get some new tyres on my 18s and get them back on ASAP!
Posted by: Keiri Jun 19, 2012 - 9:28 AM

No, our 7th Gen. GT (the "base" model) came with those 15" wheels while the ones everyone else in the thread has are the GT-S (higher trim) 16" wheels.

Oh wait...

Haha, nicely done ^^^^
What size spacers did you have to run to make the rims clear the calipers??
Posted by: BonzaiCelica Jul 8, 2012 - 2:24 AM
offset on stock 7th gen wheels are +39 but wheel width is actually 6.5 inches compared to 6th gen gt rims are 7 inch wide. my guess is a 10mm spacer.
you need at least a +35mm offset to clear gt4 front calipers on a 7 inch wide rim.
Posted by: trdproven Jul 8, 2012 - 7:35 AM
Not my 6th Gen, but rockin the GTS wheels on my 7th gen - still counts yea?
Posted by: WhipCreamCelica Jul 8, 2012 - 8:10 AM
