The celica looks good now, but I think I need some bigger rims, whats a good size (17" x 7" 38 offset etc)

I have a few rims here (some of them do come in different colours) just some ideas:

yea they look pretty good (I have a feeling that someone with a red SS-III also had those rims but in 16") I was also liking the ANZ RG II in silver




they're quite tidy
the works emotions I like but very rare to come by now

Are you sure that's an MR2? Looks like a Porche to me nice ass car though!


Me personally, as far as looks go, I like the way 17" rims look on our cars. I really like these


but I also seem to have this sweet spot for the white ones. . .

As for comfort level, 16" rims look very good and will be a more comfortable and quiet ride because you'll have more sidewall on your tires. I've got 17" rims, running 225/45r17 tires and that's definitely noticably quieter than 215/40r17s but still pretty bumpy and noisy. Just something to consider when making your decision. Oh yeah - and the price for tires jumps when you get to looking at 17" tires. It's amazing the difference in cost between 16 and 17" tires

yeah thats an mr2 spyder. don't know if i like them or not. they usually look like a pansy car, but that one looks vicious. the 7gc rim is always a safe bet. i say any of 5 or 6 spoke ones look good. go with gold, or gunmetal.

I really like the limited edition Enkei RPF1's in black. If I had the money, they would be on my car.

meh i wouldn't
they're only 6.5" wide (narrower than stock) and they are way too sucked in
i have 8" and they don't seem wide enough

Lots of people have 7gc wheels.....do something different. It's your car though, do what would make you happy.

hmm I didn't that about sizes, so im back to square one again. what I should do is leave the rims for now and get the adjustable coilovers I want, but due to the exchange rate, its twice as expensive, so im going to have to wait.

Keep in mind that these are only 16" rims, if you stick to the 17's like you want to you'll fill in that wheel gap much better without having to lower your car right away... also, sideskirts add to the illusion of a lowered car.
