Mick E Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 need ideas on what wheels to run on my ke-25 resto project. i was thinking of running 15 x 6 superlites or 13 x 7 rebel road wheels, 205/ 60 tyres might be a problem for 13 inch rims. cheers mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm having similar thoughts. I think you need to think seriously about the tyres you intend running. It is getting very hard to find any real performance tyres in anything smaller than 14's. And even 14's are difficult. So I suppose it depends on the planned usage. I would decide on the tyre then find wheels in the correct size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 There are still good tyres out there for 14's. Just not that many. I think GT Radial make a 185/55 (I think). I'm sure Achilles do aswell. Bang for buck, Hero do a 185/55 and Falken do the 195/45 but are bit more expensive. I know Federal do a similar if not the same size too. Just gotta look for them I guess. 15's are cool for the tyres but in my opinion are a little too large for most Corollas. But whatever floats your boat man.

19914afc Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 13's are pretty easy to get in aus, just look on mini websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I though all corolla's had wheels like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's_AUDM_Yo Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 They don't feel bad at all. It maybe the power steering assemble makes it a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) 14's are available in limited sizes in a performance tyre. I recently got some Dunlop DZSPZ1's (edit $195 each) which are available in a 185/60/14 or a 195/60/14. These are apparently popular with MX5 drivers. D83J's come in a 185/70/13. DZ03G's 175/60/13, 185/60/14, 195/60/14. The latter are a bit extreme for the road though, as are Advan A048's, available in smaller sizes. More mundane tyres are available, but again, it depends on your planned usage. Edited August 25, 2012 by parrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhachi Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 14x7 with 195/45 is a good combo on them if you don't really want to be hassled. Falken 195/45/14's will set you back $ 165-180 Bob Jane usually stocks them. They are a pretty grippy tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbey Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Wow. How much for them delivered to Adelaide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) Their my rims mate and they are not for sale. They started as some beaten up 14x6 ssrs that I got from the wrecker cheap with damaged outers off a series one rx7. Terry has done his magic on them and what sits before me is a beautiful rim.
