I recommend you go 17s only for looks, otherwise choose 16s for performance. I think these rims are pretty heavy, have a look at Blue_Stivo car, he has some light weight starcorp rims for sale.

dunno if I'm selling the rims yet... they may be transferable.

as for 17 vs 16s. I only got 16s because the tyres were cheaper and easier to get as semi-slicks in the right size. 17s (as long as they are light weight) are still great. Personally I think the corolla would be perfect on 16.5 inch rims but good luck finding some, and then tyres to match...

the particular rims you have pointed out though are pretty heavy. I suggest you go to Tempe Tyres and just lift a few up on the racks and just see for yourself ;)

Yep their the same. Are they 17s or 16s? Donza also has the same rims in 17s, they are awesome rims for the price :)

On a side note that pic of your car with the rims, was that taken on the Parade? Damn I miss Adelaide :(

Want lite weight rims, so i wont go for those starcorp. Ive been looking for 15 or 16s second hand but couldnt find nothing, so i just thought to myself if i was going to buy a new rim pay that bit extra and get 17s.

Hmm anyone know good lite weight rims to suit a silver corolla hatch in 17s ?

What rims you got blue_stivo ? Whered u get them from ?

Guest JDM y0 !

lightweight is the way to go. wider rims that weight less or not much more than factory is great.

mad props my homies. :P

I have these... http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...amp;part_no=183

I bought them direct from Tempe Tyres

They also come in shadow chrome as well, in 16 and 17 inch.

Those wheels look ok. They offer any other designs in light weight rims ?

Also on a side note how heavy are the stock steel wheels with hub caps ? Id imagine that they will be lighter than the average 15inch mag wheels but im just speculating ?

ive got the 17x7 version of the shadow chrome one.

It looks a treat!

but will need to lower my car as the wheel arch gap is quite substantial
