I know this probably should go in the wheel and tire section but nobody ever looks in there and I need info now. I am getting a nice tax refund this year and I am planning on getting wheels. Can anyone tell me what kind of wheels are on this celica pic I am attaching? The side decals on the car are cheesy but I like the wheels.

Also what internet site has the best prices? The only ones I know are tirerack and wheelmax. thx

The look like Konig Tantrums. (or knockoff) In any case you can check these websites
www.discounttiredirect.com
www.whalentire.com

btw you should get some springs and lower your car right away with wheels............ It will look like you are 4x4ing ..........

I thought that with bigger wheels you get lower profile tires and the car will remain at the same hight off the ground as stock. Am I wrong? If the car stays the sme height off the ground how would it look like a 4x4? I would like to lower my car but in Vermont ,where I live, we get a LOT of snow and I am not sure how well the car will get through deep snow if it is lowered.

Don't quote me on this one, but I believe Motegi's are forged.

Sorry Larry. I just needed an answer fast and nobody seems to post on the Wheel & Tire forum.
