Aye, that be true, yet if the offset is wrong (Which I doubt it is, due to being virtually the same as factory) I can reverse them or the beauty of being 3 piece, I can get inners/outers.
Sadly they won't be new, unless I desire them made out of freaking Chinese shovels [Tempe Tyres just brought the moulds and tools from Tony Simmons, so will soon be making the wheels, yet not sold under the Simmons name, yet the Simmons cap will fit in them].
Guess the originals will be even harder to find after this and worth even more, hence why I snapped at t he chance to get these V4 Versa's in a stud pattern that fits The Skittle.

I have finally got my other two Work Meister rims for the front been waiting for them to get made so they would clear my front brakes :lol:

. Front are 15x8.5 with 205/50 and rear are 15x9.5 with 225/50 Toyo proxes 4 tyres. I still need to sort out the alignment to suit but this is the alignment i ran with my sportsmax 15x8 rims and isn’t perfect :roll:

but can still drive the car till i research what alignment settings will work best

Wheel and tire specs?

Dropped my wheels off today, 14x8 here we come!

Good luck finding tyres to suit!

Currently tucking 14's and 185/60's so it should work.
Kinda hoping someone made a 195/55/14 somewhere?

You can get tyres like this somewhere as alot of people use silly size tyres in the uk. might have to ship them over. try uk ebay and see if you have any luck... www.ebay.co.uk hope this helps

Actually getting the tires can be tricky, knowing someone at a tyre shop helps.

They're not on an NA, but I bought them from Goodwin-racing in the states and they're an NA fitment and will clear the big brake kit, They are 15 x 7 ET40 Konig Rewinds in silver. (the mx5 hubcentric rings for these wheels fit the corolla as well)

Even though shipping was expensive the total cost was better than an equivalent Rota RB in Australia and I really couldn't find any other wheels I liked for the Corolla (There really isn't much choice of good wheels in Australia new these days that aren't very open). Plus if I get bored I can put them on the MX5

I just haven't fitted the centre caps as it was just a test fit. Yes there's a lot of wheel arch gap, but the car has a bit of rake towards the front and I prefer to keep plenty of clearance as it's a daily grinder and it allows you to go over speed bumps at speed rather than crabbing and it clears the concrete parking stops.

The tyres are 195/50 R15 Yokohama S-drives

I really don't know lol. I guess I just wanted new wheels and didn't want to wait.
And when Jesse told me how quick the equips were gonna take I jumped on em cos I've always wanted quality wheels..

Cheers for the compliments guys

Bought some new wheels today

17x7.5/8 +22ish Work VS-XX

I had a set of 17x7's last year but the offset was terrible and the new tyres that were on them when I bought them were far too high a profile. These should look better. Hopefully I can put the front of the car back together tonight and pick the wheels up tomorrow
