time to buy some rims, need suggestions... #287712 Sep 29, 6:02pm Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 1,675 Lexington, Kentucky SwiftCelGTS Specialist 2000 Toyota Celica SwiftCelGTS Specialist 2000 Toyota Celica Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 1,675 Lexington, Kentucky they're going to be 18s. looking for something with slender spokes and not much of a lip. like i want the spokes to go out all the way to the edge of the rim. possibly black w/ polished lip but most likely just silver. post a pic of what you think would look good on my car along with the name of the rims so i can look up prices and such. also, i need to know what size tire to go with. i want to match these up with about a 1.5" drop so i don't want the height of the tire to be taller than stock. thanks guys.

It's that way with a woman as well, my girl comes up to me all the time with a piece of clothing and says what do you think, I'm like put it on then I will tell you. I in some ways considerer modin a car like a woman dressing for a night out. every little detail counts. But I think a 5-6 spoke setup would look good on your car, I prefer a little chrome like the stock ones. Also I have to tell you your car looks great stock, be real careful as you could make it look bad. Last edited by iggy; Oct 2, 2004 9:40pm.
