  • nice 13x7 wheels, WHAT ARE THEY!?!

    hey festiva go-ers.. i just bought a set of 13x7 ... 4x144.3 set of alloy wheels from the junkyard. they are true and in pretty decent shape. i test fitted them on my 89 L and they fit, just gotta get longer lugs, spacers etc.

    i was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind they are, or if they know anything about these wheels? there is no name on them, and i cant find the part number either, too worn near the engravings..

    thanks!

    144.3 ? That must be 114.3, welcome to the site! They look more
    aftermarket to me than OEM, mainly because of the apparent offset
    and the way the lug area looks. Do they have caps?

      thank you!

      definitely aftermarket, no caps

      i bought them not knowing if there were going to fit, but they did. the lug holes in the rims are far to big for the 9/16 lug on the festy, i will be upgrading that soon.

          You might be able to put them on the front with no issues. On the rear you will need spacers and might have to modify the fenders. What do you plan to do with them, what kinda tires, etc.?

            I already test fitted the back, they bolt on fine. Tires I'm goin for 195 or 205 60 r13 probably just get some good condition used tires

              Those look like A50 Celica wheels.

                      the what my friend suggested they were, but not as descriptive.

                      he said they looked like celica wheels from an old old model, so i googled and googled and found nothin.

                      but i googled the a50 just now and they are pretty dead on the same

                          so now that we established that they are a50 celica wheels, does anyone know a good website or store that would sell lugs to fit these bad boys? the lug head on the festiva is 9/16 and the slip right through the holes on the new rims... anyone know where to find longer lugs with same thread but big ass heads???

                          also, its a possibility that the holes on the rims were drilled bigger, i did get them used
