Old School Rim on your St162

those are not old school.......

 

When you say 'old school' I will assume original as well.......... I have the same as Steve in the first pic and his car looks like the one in the foreground......... I'm not liking the rims in the second pic.

Mine are white in keeping with the 'White Lightning' theme, check it in the 'members ride' thread :cheers2

 

the 2nd pic is also one of the originals
here's my two 162s from last year on their respective original wheels:


here's what i've always liked to try out on our cars:

 

Yup, never liked them, polished maybe ?

I remember that pic of yours from last year and it's a nice side-by-side comparison......... those rims in your second pic might be kosher for our cars, depending on the colour car and/or if the rims were to be painted or left alone and polished............ Easier to keep clean too as Steve will agree that ours suck big time but hey.........

 

Photoshopped Enkei 92s on my 162 a while back.




btw, they do make them in 5 lug (albeit in 5x114.3 and 5x120), albeit you'd have to run adapters, redrill, or do a hub conversion...

Pontiac Fiero meshies are also in 5x100 if you don't mind the lack of a big lip and have a small budget to work with.


Hope that helps!

 

i like these:

 

honestly i love that cars stance and look....ut only if the celica was blue with white rims.....yummmy sexy....yea

 

Says the guy with the blue Celica. hahahaha

OP, if you don't mind 16's, you can also check out XXR 002's, and Miro STP1's as those were also made in our 5x100 bolt pattern.

 

i like the gotti j55a. i was trying to do the old school wheels forever but like your finding out thier hard to find in a 5x100. i saw a set of the gottis on ebay for something insane like $250....maybe $500, cant remember, but slacked on it. they were perfect. you can order them new with custom specs, but $$$$$$.

-theres probably a couple ways you could get to a 4x100 but none are going to be easy. best way may be a spacer that converts from 5x100 to 4x100 with new studs. i think it was $350 to have a set made.

XXR 002:



Miro STP1 (Has not been done on a ST162 yet)


Simmons V5


Volk GRC

lol I don't recall. Just found some gold meshies on Google, and PhotoSlapped them onto a Celica. XD
Although they are pretty similar to the Racing BBS wheels...

$250-$500 is supposed to be insane? 0_0 LOL, that's less than a set of Rota's, and those things are cheap!

 

You've got a GTS right? Factory wheel specs on the GTS are 5x100 PCD and +38 offset. The fronts are about right though you can take a few mm out of the offset without scrubbing, the rears sit a long way inside the top of the guards though, so you can use wheels with a much lower offset or spacers to fill them out.

 

stock GT-S is 14x6, 54.1 bore as well as what MattC said.

for a nice finish you want a 16x7 wheel, 5x100, 54.1mm bore, +38 offset front, +38 rear with 20-25mm spacer.

i would love for someone to do this...the only modification needed would be to roll fenders
- 16x7 front 195/40/16 @ +35
- 16x8 rear 195/40/16 @ +22....yes it would fit, if these sizes existed in 5x100...

 

That's why I wanted 3-piece rims, you can have whatever offset you want
