Back to 16s - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #37610 24 posts Started by GT4WRC
Time came for some new tyres so also decided to keep with my plan of going back to the factory stock wheels. Not the awful tri-spokes which initially adorned the ST205, but the post '96 facelift rims. Managed to pick up a set for little $ and had them wrapped with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s...

Have to say that I think they look much better than the previous 17" rims I had. Also keeps the car looking stock too wink.gif

i liked the 17s but those 16s look good on your car as well.. enough of that, how do the tires handle?

I have a set of those in my shed.

16"s look a bit lost on the Four IMHO.

Pretty impressive for a stock road tyre. I'm going easy on them at the moment as I was running road legal slicks (Toyo RA1s) previously which will out perform any normal off the shelf rubber. Just need to get used to them before I start going round corners quickly again laugh.gif
