Just because they fit...

Post by ColonelPanic »

....Doesn't make it a good idea to offer them. :P

Meet the optional $1,999 set of wheels you can get for your new Corolla!

Look at how HOT those drums look showing through the back wheels. :ugeek:

Not a bad looking set of wheels, but simply does not work on this application....

It's awesome that they offer these wheels!
It doesn't cost them anything to offer them, and it gives people who want to autocross a wheel spec above 16" they can follow. Not that many people will autocross the current gen Corolla.

Also, offering these wheels means someone's going to buy them, and eventually they'll get on to the used market, making it easier for people with BRZ's an FR-S and other 5x100 Toyota/Subaru's to get their hands on quality 18" metal.

typical toyota recycling the junk they couldnt sell a decade ago

oh, and theyre stupid heavy. that'd kill acceleration, braking, and economy....

for $2000 you get really nice lightweight wheels and tires...
