My New Wheels - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #14751 20 posts Started by Coomer
So yesterday I picked up my new wheels from my buddy Sean. I got an insanely good deal on them and was already setup to meet up with him to pick them up so I couldn't cancel out just because my stuff got stolen. I could sell my old wheels for more than I paid for these anyway. >smile.gif>

The wheels are 18x8" ALT AT159s, a 15-spoke chrome design. The rubber mounted on them are 225/40-18 Falken Ziex tires all around, with about 30% tread left I'd guess. One wheel has an area where the chrome chipped off from the car rolling off of a U-Haul trailer without the wheels straight, but other than that they're in almost perfect condition. >smile.gif>

Anyway, here are the photos:

Let me know what you think...I'm thinking about sanding them down and painting them black, black with a chrome lip, or bronze. I'm not too sure if I want to keep them on the car though...they do make the car noticably slower due to their weight, but besides the chrome I like them a lot...I'm not sure on the offset, but the wheels do stick out the sides of the car farther, which I really like. >smile.gif>

Polished black chrome.

im all for the black chrome look. Although yellow and bronze may clash a bit.

personally, i don't like them. too many spokes for me. i would paint them black with the polished lip.

Not quite my taste but they look gangsta...lol As for a new look i think the black with the polished lip would be pretty slick.

I am ever so thankful for the 'Ignore User' capability on this forum.

I think your old rims look better, but thats just my opinion.
What's with your GT4 grill

Wow Christian, those look sick!! Man I love those wheels. Personally, i'd stick with the chrome. Your going to get SO much attention from people about those wheels. I think people need to see them in person, very attractive wheels.

Just my 2cents >biggrin.gif>
yea lol you need to fix that gt-4 vent my friend but looks sweet otherwise

I like your old ones better too coom. From the looks of the pics, too much chrome for me. They might look good black tho.
