    hello

    i have a celica which looks almost identical to this http://www.thesupercars.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/toyota-celica.jpg , however i dont like the gap between the wheels and the front and rear wings, would it be best to lower the car slightly or get bigger alloys as i dont think the ones at present match tha car and are too small, and would anyone recommend shops which specialise in alloys and fittings? btw dont jeer celica for being in supercars website haha...

    Always thought these were great looking cars but the wheels always looked way too tiny.

    Iv only ever seen one with a bit of work which had bigger wheels. The tyres werent full low profile ones like an M5 and such, but somewhere in the middle with larger alloys than standard.

    Completely changed the look of the car for the better.

    Even if you lower it, it will still have tiny wheels.

    I know feck all about the technical details. Im sure someone will be on later that can give you exact numbers to go for.

    Bigger wheels alone won't do much. It'll still hav a gap between wheel and arch. Wheels plus lowering is the only way to get it right imo.
