This past weekend, I went by the local junkyard to pick up some wheels to mount my snow tires to, so I don't have to pay Les Schwab $50 each time I have them put on and taken off. I found a '84 Corolla with some wheels, which are actually the same type as the ones on the tercel, except for the trim. They were a bargin at $10 a piece.
I need to sandblast and repaint them sometime, but they work for now.

'85 SR5 4wd, A.K.A 'Peach", 221k miles!
Off a FWD I assume. Same diameter and width? A lot of the FWD Corollas and non-wagon Tercs had 4.5" wide rims. Ours are 13x5.
