I have a red celly gt with the action pack from TRD, Anyways...I'm looking to do a little looks upgrades for christmas and I don't know A) what color to go with for the rims. and B) what size?

I don't have any, CF Overlays on it, thought about it, never got around to it though. Black leather interior no inside lights etc. I'll post up some pictures of my celly :)

17's are perfect with a celica, wheels are all a matter of opinion but most people on here will tell you to stay away from chrome, im not sure which looks best on a red celica: gunmetal, bronze, black or just polished, but 17s are the size to go on a celica

Will they give it a slightly lowered look? and I hate chrome rims, the guy I bought my celly from offered me a hole set tires and all of some 17 chromes they were ass ugly though. not too big of a fan of the black rims unless someone can show me a celly with some tight black ones on it...Any suggestions?

black wheels usually only look good on maybe my car, silver celicas. i think the stock wheels are 15's so it would actually make your car higher if you didnt get a lower or a thinner profile tire

What is your budget so we can suggest some wheels in your price range? I have 18" wheels on my GT-S with 225/40/18 tires and I love the look. Some people like 17s and some like 18s...it's all personal taste.

There are soooo many wheels out there that it is really hard to suggest any. It all depends on style, color, budget, size, etc. You've got to look around and narrow things down. Are you making your celi for show, go or a little of both? If it's for show, get 18s, anything else, get 17s. Here are some sites that have wheels on them. Look around and see if you like a certain style of wheel.

Btw, if you're getting wheels, you really need to look into dropping your car. Aftermarket wheels and no drop is a big no-no! As for tires, what I've heard is that don't get less than a 40 aspect ratio or the ride quality will sucks really bad. If I had a red celi, I would get black wheels with a red lip. It looks sexy as hell, and its not that common yet.
