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..

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

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

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..

meh, why not just go for some 14x7 dish mags? and then lower it nicely?

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

lol, they have no dish though :dance: get some chrome hubcaps too :D

ha ha ha

enough dish for me mate..205 low profiles will make them nice and wide

 

DISH...

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.

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...

no worries thanks for the info mate.

 

haha about the cutting and welding of rims..thats funny aye, never heard about that been done before..

 

anyone noe how easy it is to cut springs bak and front on KE70s?

its actually

 

"fully sik mate"

 

get it right before u knock it haha

haha Thorpeys a fukn faggot if i ever saw one..

 

my angle grinders free unlike king springs

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

thanks mate..

 

yeh i think i might have to ask this guy at my tafe how he got them on there..
