Title: Celica Gen 7 wheels
Post by: Mr220Mike on June 19, 2024, 14:11
Hi all

Looking at changing the wheels on my car. I've seen some gen 7 celica wheels near me and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if these are the  same offset etc.

Thanks in advance.

They are 5x100, not 4x100.

They won't fit at all.

Thanks. I didn't realise that. Back to the drawing board then. Ideally going to return to stock I think.

Stock takes some beating.

I agree, I think they look great. As my rear tyres are nearing the end of their life, now seems the ideal time to hunt some down. I'm not too fussed if they need a refurb, may go for a slightly bronze colour but obviously need to be round!!

When I got my 2 in 2011, my  contact on the inside of the motor industry, thought that the OE wheels must be after market as they looked to be too light to be OE!

 From what I read most are made by other companies for the OE but it is not disclosed.
Those companies will have a subsidiary under a different name that might sell aftermarket wheels.

 OE wheels will generally be the highest quality for safety and durability but they can be light in certain sizes. 
  If you noticed FL rear 16"the rear wheels became very heavy in comparison to the 15".
