I've found a stock set of Toyota rims I'd like to pick up for my car. However,I've noticed mine are 5 bolt,while these new ones are 4 bolt. What baffles me,is why the Celica uses both 4 and 5 bolt patterns,when it's the same car?!! :? :?: And I'm only doing this because I don't want to go and buy brand new rims and put them on the car. Why spend like $2000 for wheels on a $4000 car? I'd rather spend $2000 on a parts car.

However,all problems aside,here are my stock rims...

I think the original ones are very VERY dated and 80s looking,not to mention that they are all nicked up,and peeling and scratched and pitted. They're in terrible condition.

Burrcold's are really nice,but I don't think they'd suit my car.

However,my dad called me up tonight,said to come down on Saturday,he found me some rims. So we'll go take a look at them. 8) I'll be out in the 427/Evans Ave. area.

he even bought me the car....



just because he won $15 000 on the slots at Woodbine.

And yes...rear discs. WOOT! Drums suck. Unless we're talking music...well then...that's a different story.

these rims are like,pretty much what I'm looking for in an aftermarket rim. This car also has the turn signals I want!

you said you didnt think the style of the stock 7th gen 15 inch wouldnt suit your car....well those rims look almost identical to them. Just mentioning because you could probably pick up a set of stock 15's + rubber for very very cheap

no wonder those are the perfect rims then. I thought they looked familiar.

Whatever I get though,I have to get 14",so I'm limited for choices.
