They must be good, it says fast right on the center cap.

Those would look good on my car. I am going to get some wheels for it pretty soon, something light and flow formed. The stock ones are not a great size for tire choice.

I put 15x8 Enkei PF01 on mine when I had it. My car was the red MSM black wheels down this page. THe top pic is a gray MSM with the silver version in 15x8. They are flow formed. I bought my wheels from goodwin racing. I know they also sell the 6ULs which are very popular in the miata crowd.

Not "new" wheels being that they're more than 40 years old but they are freshly powder coated!

Love new wheel day.

'Rims' and 'a nice set' are two very different things,

I have a set of FAST FC04s on my GTI. No complaints for the price, and the finish has held up nicely to daily driving.

I'm sure I'll be happy with them also.

I'm pleased those Echos are going well. Looking good too.

I ended up going with another Corolla, plus a Corolla for GF, and another Corolla for sister...

I'm starting to see a trend here

It's a good time to apply a good coat of wax to keep it fresh during the winter.
(we in the snow belt do get the out-of balance ice buildup)

Nice car btw.

here's the new wheels and tires




If you were to ask me which was my fav car, like a good little PCA member, I would say the Porsche of course, and the old Chevy Hot Rod, and so on. If you asked my wife, she would say yeah he likes those but he really loves his Echos and Yaris(s).
