advice on weel size n color - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #56413 9 posts Started by kool-94st
I want to put some new wheels on my car thinking about some black ones. Im not sure what size though or if black will look nice with the color of my car. i would like if i can have some advice or different opinions .
I think the black ones should look really good in your car. Is that some sort of dark champagne color on your celi? And the size just depends so much on what your looking at. The options are from 15-19" and 20" can also be fitted. Anyway i recommend some 18" and then just drop the car like 4inches. wink.gif

yeah 18's have proved to be the best size on my car so far & i'm a big fan of gold or bronze but unsure how they would look on yours.

yeah some kind of champagne color i havent seen many celicas this color. Yeah i like the idea on 18"
better be sure you have good roads where you live. 17"s are hell here - 18"s? Forget about it. rolleyes.gif
Black would look really good. Nice color - haven't seen that one on a 6gc before biggrin.gif

read some of the posts about tire sizes. the gauge about what wheel size you are willing to pay for and get the largest tire that will fit.

17's are best for all around, 18+ if your going for a look and 16's and under for best ride quality and lowest drop

imo 18's with a beefy tire, not some rubber band, looks good without too much of a harsh ride

but stevenson also has 16's with some beefy tires and they could easily pass for 17's. i wouldnt go too much larger than an 18" tire

also, if you get 18's try n get some 225/40/18 size tires

heres a crappy comparison

but from left to right:

16's with normal tire, 17's with large tire, 18's with small tire.
not too much of a difference, but the 16's and 17's pictured there ride about the same, if the 16's had a large tire on them they would ride very nice.

why does every one think the topaz color is not a normal color? i have 2 of them in my town and 1 a town over. of course mine looks the worse right now with my whole front end messed up but it will be fixed here soon im starting to get the itch one more part and its paint time. but since i have the same color car and ive tried a few rims on it i like a gunmetal finish with a chrome lip or full gunmetal. i wasnt a fan of full chrome to shinny wasnt a fan of the glossy black since it shows scratches really well and the flat black didnt look half bad. but those r my 2 cents worth of info for the day

i would have to agree about the bronze or gold. They are my personal prefrence and they might look good on your car but then again the might look not so hot. as far as size, i like smaller wheel sizes like 15" and 16" smile.gif
