17" Lightweights - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #29749 6 posts Started by yozef
Hi guys,

After selling my White Speedlines 17" (to Red202) last year and driving on my Work Fibra 16" its time for me to go 17s again.

This time I want to buy alloys as lightweght as possible not to hinder acceleration.

There is a local guy who has offered a brand new set of 17" Technomagnesio lightweight alloys (weighing 6.5kg each) for around $900 without tyres.

I was wondering any of you guys ever saw a 6th Gen with this setup or has any pictures?
for 900$ you can get some really nice light rims off tirerack

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Yes but then I would have to ship them to Malta which will cost as much as the rims

I always wondered why my 16" look "different" i.e. they are somehow tucked in leaving a noticible gap between the outside of the rim and the fender.

So what I did yetserday I pull off one alloy an guess what:

Size; 16x7 Offset +50.

I guess that I the reason why they look crap, the offset is wrong!!

Now I would not like to sell the Fibras as they are soooo light and are good to put on for a ncie race day but was wondering what spacer can I get to get them look really good flushed to the fenders withou rubbing?

My tyres are 205/50/16
bump-any suggestions?
