I recently purchased a set of 7th gen rims for $100. They are 15 inch rims and don't have the JWL logo on them. What can you tell me about them? Are these Toyota factory rims or some knockoffs?

7th gen gt-s wheels. 16".
If they're 15" wheels, then they're 5x114 '98 spec mr2 wheels... And I would buy those for $100.

So, these are not the 98 spec MR2's?
Cause the ones on the CL add are different. The ones on CL are the ones that I have (and i bought mine off a 7th Gen.....cant say they are OEM by any means, but come pretty close).
Yes those are 98 spec wheels.. I thought they had the recessed areas on the spokes like the 7th gen wheels.
OP, can you confirm if they are 15" or 16".

I'm asking the op how he knows.. If the guy that sold them to him said they are 15s he is most likely just wrong.

These are the rims I bought. If you look closely at the picture you can see that the tire size is 15 inch. I am told that the GTS rims are 16 inch and have a smooth lip versus a stepped lip on the 15 inch rims. What's the deal with the center caps? Has anyone ever seen anything like these? I am interested in obtaining the OEM cent caps like in the picture earlier in the thread.
Those look pretty similar to the GT-S OEM rims, but I believe they are aftermarket. As you pointed out, they have a stepped lip and both the MR2 and the GT-S rims are smooth.

Ummm you're an idiot. I never said the 15" celica wheels were 5x114. I was clearly referring to them being mr2 wheels.

They are OEM 15" rims off a GT (NOT GTS) 7th gen celica.
my brother had them on his 7th gen. the 15's didnt get a toyota centercap.

The inside of the rim says PRIME Made in USA. Does this mean it is still an OEM? Some dumbs..t painted one of them black. Does anyone know how to strip the paint off and not damage the clearcoat?
Those are definitely not OEM. Just very similar. Check out the staggered lip- OEM wheels don't have that.

Correct. The wheels you have are aftermarket rims.
