No, keep the standard wheels for the best handling & ride - they were the wheels that Toyota designed for the car. They're in good nick anyway.

That looks like a clean example - its identical to mine (Black rev3 tub tin top) What did you pay for it?

Retro it up m8!!!

Get hold of a set of 16" - 2 / 3 piece wheels, 225's on the rear and 205's on the front!

Stock wheels unfortunately look pants, stock body with split rims looks wicked + handling will be spot on!

Thats in my opinion of course! 8)

i quite like the stock wheels, they are mint aswell not a single bit kerbed or blemished!
Aftermarket wheels do look good thou, i just think it'll need abit of kit too go wiv it and i do like the stock look.

BUT i do rekon the arches could do with filling in?

I was thinking of getting some coilovers or yellow billies and dropping it a little.
but dont want to upset the ride or make it too firm so its too skittish over bump/potholes coz my driving is mostly inner city bristol driving.

Any thoughts of whats out there and in terms of ride/handling improvements they offer?

Do you rekon the 2 undeersteers far too much?
