I'd go with the aluminum ones for the Blue, that would look the best. Black would also look good.

I think that on the darker colors (blue. black, silver) darker "gunmetal" rims look good. On lighter colors (red, yellow, white) white rims look best. Just a thought. Oh yeah... I hate those yellowish bronze colors in any rim. Just looks sorta cheezy to me. I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you

Get 16'' and slam it! Everybody gets big rims these days, and these wheels are lighter, so you've got better handling!

Where can I find those rims anyways? Those would look pimp on a celica.

Those are nice rims though. I'd say any color but black if your celi is blue

Those are nice rims though. I'd say any color but black if your celi is blue yes. but you have to ask yourself "does original look any better?" if you honestly answer 'yes' THEN you should get them (hey, everyone is different and has their own style). but being unique for uniqueness sake is NEVER a good idea.

The gold is original but it's not crazy, but about being unique for uniqueness sake i agree. i wouldn't put spinners on a celi, it'd be unique but not a good idead, the gold would be unique and a good idea
