my tyres are getting illegally (and dangerously) bald so i have to change them, and what better time to buy new rims than now ! if anyone has any thoughts on styles of rims that looks good on the 4g then can ya post a link of pic of something... ill be calling and visiting a few places this weekend for a look around any help would be great thanks guys!
Best bang for the buck is a set of 2000+ Celica 16" OEM rims. Lots of them around and they look great on the 4th gens. Can't recall whose car this is but check out those rims....
they look nice on the celi i reckon! ill just have to chop a few on my car and see what looks the best.. im hoping to find a gt4 front bar from somewhere but they sound hard to come by... thanks for the pic, they are nice and simple, glad u didnt show me a pic of chromies
lol do they ever! how much a set of those, wrapped in rubber cost ya? if you dont mind me asking.. pm me maybe?
i think that you should go with the 17" koning reasons for wheels and the 215/40.17 nexen N3000s for tires
Why can't someone get rims that match the car for once?! Black mesh (enkei, ssr, work, bbs) FTW!!!!!!!! 15x7.5 all around WOO
i was gonna go with some 16" but 17" in aust. cost around the same price anyways. but my engines giving me grief so rims will have to wait.... about 1000 worth of new parts going into it this week
Sounds nice! what are these parts? All internal I guess or I'll wait with the sig I've heard some of the guys around here not too sure about 17s.. havent some ppl complained about clearance room or something to do with rubbing (lol im trying to learn to help)
i love the 17"s, but i have heard a few bad things about them scrubbing, but then on the other hand iv heard of ppl finding ways to lessen the scrubbing and experimenting with different tyre sixes and widths?? im sure theres a way around it, apart from rolling the guards and what-not... in australia, in NSW our insurance company wont cover us if our rim is more than 2" bigger than stocko's(making the limit 16" for me), so that leaves me with the decision of looks or security... when i get around to it ill go with 16s prob. do the 17s put the speedo out? that could be another problem... the parts are new gaskets, new water pump, timing belt kit (including all new cams and belts) all the seals are getting done... new bearings in a few places... i cant remember what else, but theres a few other things. i love new stuff for the celi im in the same boat as you, learning as i go and learning how to help some ppl out when i can
Heres what I'm currently running on my GTS, but not sure if their still availible. They are Borbet' wheels size 15"x7", but were also availible in 16" and 17" sizes for just a little more than the $90 each I paid. Oh and by the way, they only weigh like 14 lbs. each. racerb
how much of a difference to lightweight rims make? at some point I wanna get new rims, I was thinking 16's but they aren't as easy to find as 17's round here
I have a very hard time picking wheels. But i like the ADR,BBS,PIAA designs but They are all very heavy
What insurance company are you with :? never heard of that rule maybe I should check my fineprint and everything like that.. I just got parents to take care of that n i just pay for it
speedo wont be affected as long as your overall diameter is teh same. 205/60r14 is almost identical to 215/40zr17 easy to calculate if u need too (RimSize*25.4)+2*(sectionwidth*aspectratio[decimalform]) so (14*25.4)+2*(206*.6) = 601.6 and the 17s = 603.8 i just made a excel sheet to do it automatically if u want it haha
