Rolla__Boy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Only they aren't 17's, and therefore completely wrong :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 17 inch Jellybeans would rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyrota Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 how about something like this..... looks like i have finally found a buyer for my 13x7 hotwires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 17 inch Jellybeans would rock my best mate wants 17" jellybeans for his black VU SS ute. we called dragway to get a quote on some custom billets, but he's got better things to spend $990 a corner on :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 $990 per wheel....ouch How cool would it be though :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st.nick Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Xany, Thats a sexy beast!! :hmm: :D Not really keen on the wheels tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xany Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 lol......guys i did read the 17s.....it was a joke :hmm: i think anyone that puts 17s on a KE55 isnt really after ride comfort.... i hate hotwires too...yeah they look good.....but are a bitch to clean and restore....jellybeans are so easy to clean *wipe*.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I hate hotwires more than any other wheel :hmm: And I have 17's on mine, I lost my ride comfort about 6 years ago when I lowered my car to extreme levels...I just deal with it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyrota Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 any suggestions then? apart from jellybeans and any other wheel thats smaller than 16'' i can't go any smaller than 16'' because of my brakes.. Surely someone has got some pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyrota Posted November 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 no worries. thanks anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 i reckon 15's are the biggest practical wheel for a old rolla, comfort, tyre costs and peformance are a few aspects i can think of... long live the hotwires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LINDSAY Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 hey toyrota , i run 17"s on my KE25 , but i paid for them brand new (still paying for them) , go and see the guys at Australias best tyre service down near canterbury or punchbowl (around there somewhere) they soughted me out with the correct offset and width , but you might wanna save your penny's for a while though i would put up a pic if i knew how to , theres one on my profile on here or on my toymods one , try RO11LR as my handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
