z|gen Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 oh those hahaha, sorry, just normal rims lol. theres heaps of those over here in NZ aye, but they just have hub caps, most commonly found on FWD cars, but some rwd corollas have them at the wreckers..

KE70_supercharged Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 yeh thats why i like them..common and with low profiles and dumped don't look half bad.. plus if u lose it around a corner and do abit of curb work..no banging your head against wall for chunking the 18s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70_supercharged Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 oh well.. my previous car was a commodore haha 18s or 17s..for a cheap package u are looking at $1600 tyre and rim.. for those people who arent willing to lay down some rubber and just cruise their car about (no matter how much money has been put into the motor), mags are perfect..but to use them as a rim for drifting or having some fun..throwing money down the toilet..thats my opinion anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70_supercharged Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 true..17s are probably squeezed under there too.. 18s depending on the rim, i have seen some nice looking rims on KE70s.. altho in saying that, some look abit too bling..

z|gen Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 meh, why not just go for some 14x7 dish mags? and then lower it nicely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70_supercharged Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 yeh deep dish is the way i was heading..atm don't have to much cash for mags..rather put it into the motor, pursuits are 14 by 7 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kangaroosa Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) Here in Melbourne we call them "Interceptors". Every tom dick and harry has them on their bloody VL commodore. I personally cannot stand them. Search the wreckers for the following cars and you might stumble across what you want. I just copied this from a webpage, so ignore the cars we don't have in Aus. 4 on 4-1/2 (114.3 mm) Acura - Legend '86-'89 Buick - Special '61-'63 Chevrolet Corvair all 4-bolt Chevy II all 4-bolt Sprint '85-'87 Nova ('61-'70) Datsun/Nissan - most models to '89 Dodge Colt '79-'88 Dodge Colt (early) Ford Mustang all '65-'68 4-bolt Falcon, Maverick, Granada all 4-bolt Mazda - 626, RX7 '83-'87 ???? MGA, MGB, MGC Olds - F-85 '61-'63 Plymouth - Arrow, Sapporo '79-'88 SAAB all ??? SAAB - 900 to '87 Toyota - most exc. MR2 and P.U. to '89 Triumph TR 1..6 Hope this helps. P.S. I would be looking for a standard toyota item. I just prefer most toyota wheels, compared to plain old Interceptors that you find on taxies.

wilson_610 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 if you are mates with an engineer you could (i know that it is illegal but still) cut the standard corolla rim and add a piece of metal in the middle and weld it back together (to get the width). like the old speedway boys use to do...

Super Jamie Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 i don't mind steelies, especially if they have big dish and are chromed or painted/powdercoated black/white with hubbies or dress rims. far better than buying some ugly modern silver 5 spoke thing and ruining the look of your car afaik, there is no 15" pursuit-style rim which bolts directly onto rwd corollas a common trick with rotaries is to get a van steelie (15x4) of the right stud pattern, and a set of commodore pursuit rims (15x6), or just buy some 15x6" outer bands, and take them to someone who can weld the center from the van rims into the wider outer. then you have 15x6 rims with the right stud pattern and whatever offset you want for a stock corolla with 15s, you want about 110mm backspacing and 195/50/15 tyres i don't know if any vans have corolla stud pattern (rotaries are 4x110), so have a look around at the wreckers. i do know honda legends have a 15" steelie with the right stud pattern, however you need to find 4 cars and take the spare from each, as the luxury model honda comes with factory alloys good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70_supercharged Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 thanks mate.. yeh i think i might have to ask this guy at my tafe how he got them on there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
