Because of cost, availabilty, looks I like 80's MR2 "3 spoke" rims.

Their offset is only 1mm off from a tercel rim. Toyota likes to cast diameter and offset right into the rim in an easy to see spot.

Stock offset is 40mm. MR2's are 39.

I dunno what offset they were, but I liked my 15" Escort GT rims. http://www.tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtop ... 01&start=0 (btw, the interior was cleaned soon after I took the pics.... Just for the record..... lol)

There is a list of a bunch of manu and models with the rims size and off sets somewhere around here. I'll do a quick search...

Make me an offer on mine: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4484

Shipping might be pricey depending on where you are. Tires are nearly new, and I personally think Corolla GTS fwd rims look the best on Tercel's.
