New Wheels for 07 Corolla Ascent

[Jazz926]

Hey Guys,

Been reading in this forum for a while now, but this will be my first post :)

Anyways, I am looking in to getting an 07 Corolla Ascent within the next few days or so to replace my written off Camry Vienta V6.

The Corolla will be a hatch, but what I realised, is that it only comes with steel wheel and hub caps, so the first thing I will do is to replace them with a nice set of 16" or 17" wheels.

Before replacing the wheels, what sort of stuff should I look into?

Also what sort of wheels do you guys recommend?

I guess I am working with a budget, since I am getting the Corolla in the next few days, so a set of wheels with tyres for under $1000 would be good, but I assume that would be a pretty hard task?

Any advice or tips is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Cheers

I would say, keep the stock steelies for now and use them until you have more money. You can always buy no-name brand rims for under $1000, but I don't know if you will have enough left over to buy decent rubber.

As for what sort of wheels..it's ultimately up to you. It depends on what colour is your car, what look do you want? Racer? Pimp? Cruiser? Aggressive stance or more subtle look..your choice. You're the one that will be driving it. :P

Just my opinion.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply.

Just a quick update on my situation.

Didn't end up buying the 07 Ascent, instead I decided to spend a little more and bought a new Corolla Ascent in Graphite, should be ready for pick up on Friday.

I like wheels/rims like these http://www.speedywheels.com.au/images/zoom/lite-fin-2.htm

however, I am not a big fan of chrome wheels.

I prefer them in matte, black or white.

Cheers
