  1. Anyone know any good places that sell Alloy Wheels for my Toyota Celica 2000?

    I want a good design and what sort of prices do they start from?

    Thanks!!

    How much you got to spend mate?

    You can get a set of cheap rims for ~$700 and it goes till you reach rims that cost $1000+ per a rim (depending what diameter, some are $7000 for a set) lol

    You can get some decent 2nd hand good rims too ;)

  2. Yes all AE111 Corolla Levins/ Trueno Sprinters are import only :)

    You'll be hard pressed to find one on sale, I know of perhaps three for sale, one black BZ-R (20K+ though =|), A white BZ-R with a Bomex Kit, TE37s, HKS Hi Power and some other goodies... another white BZ-R fully optioned (Recaro Interior, Recaro seats, "Live" sound system, etc) + Exhaust...

    There were a few around before but all gone now...

  3. I paid $185ea with free fitting for 205/55R16s on special.

    That should give you some idea how good the price is. :)

    hey Gav

    thx for replying.

    so i guess its a good deal :rolleyes:

    i dont get why sometimes larger tyres(eg. 205/xx/xx) are cheaper than the smallers ones (eg. 195/xx/xx)

    Pricing of tyres isn't purely based on rim size alone. That are other factors you have to consider with tire manufacturers... Some tires are very expensive due to them being a direct OEM replacement for a certain factory car. As soon as you're using a tyre that is exactly the same as a factory car one, prepare to spend big $$$.

    Some sizes like 15" and 17" are popular with factory cars so there are plenty of customers for those. While 16" weren't really used by manufacturers so 16" tend to be expensive in comparison to other sizes.

    Profiles that are abnormal tend to attract higher prices to simply because there isn't much of a market for them.

    RE001 Adrenalin I can't remember their treadwear rating but from what I've noticed with my friend's using them on their cars similar to mine, they last ~1yr... Thats with a mix of daily and spirited driving.
