hi there,
I would like to know what size rims has anyone put on there 6g Celica. I don't want to rub or make contact on my fender while taking bumps so I made this thread to ask what would be the best size rim and tire would works best. I really would love to put either oz rally rims on or some bbs. please let me know thanks!
Pick what rim you want and we'll say yes or no. Makes it easier.

I went for 16x7 but a lot of people go for 17s. 17s weigh more than 16s so I went for 16s. I have TRD lowering springs but there is like an inch fender gap between tires and fender. I had 17s but they slowed my car down a lot for me. I enjoy driving aggressively.. We have tons of super curvy roads so I choose 16s 2nd time around. So if I was you figure out 16s or 17s and choose rim based weight and looks as well unless you don't care about acceleration much. We are all different. Some people rock 21 pound 17s and others rock 15 pound 17s. I'd go for oz before bbs but that's just me. I personally dislike BBS.

Here are some sparco rims. They are made by oz but are much cheaper to buy vs regular oz rims. Almost same styles but they do weigh more than oz rims. I almost got them till I got my konig lightings. 15.3 pounds for 16s and look great so I couldn't pass them up.
Im rocking 14lb 17" rims. smile.gif to be exact, estimated at 13.7-14.3lbs each.
