    That's an awesome deal and those look like a great set of wheels. 16s look best on these kind of corollas.

    Going to check out the rims tomorrow evening, this will be my first rim purchase is there anything I should look out for or problem places to look? I really like these rims hoping this steal deal works out.

    For 100 dollars, honestly you could just take them and not worry about anything. By mainly I'd check how good the tread on the tires is, look for a bent or scratched lip on all of them, look at the back of the rims for damage to the back of the spokes (trust me, it sounds weird but do it). Make sure the TRD badge is the same on all rims, and see if they have the balance weights on them. For 100 bucks you can't really make an argument on price if there is damage though.

    Like mack said, for the main part in terms of major damage... check the back for any cracks. Looks carefully because a hair line crack will leak air.

    Had a question about exhaust, on my Corolla my exhaust hangs down quite a bit a I figure I need to tie it up cuz I assume the brackets broke. Can you buy new brackets or do I have to don the welding mask? Also can anyone suggest any decent nice looking/sounding mufflers that are in a poor mans price range? I figure if I gotta get under the car and tie this shit up I might be able to swap the muffler.

    Those look like 8th gen TRD Corolla wheels, however, the tires are 1 size too big. You need 205/45/16 for the rolling diameter to be correct, otherwise your speedo will be off and your "final final drive" will be a tiny bit taller.

    There are only 3 bolt on mufflers (that I know of) for the 8th gen... Trust, TRD, and Thermal. Good luck finding any of those three, especially on a budget. Anything else will require welding, so you might as well put on the welders mask and do it all.

    Thanks for the info James, but these will work until I replace the tires they won't rub will they? And I assume I lose a couple mph on speedometer just so I can I adjust my speed to the signs on the road. Thanks Mack are the brackets replaceable or am I gonna have to bust out the coat hangers?

    What's the damage on one of those mufflers?

    Gotta see what you're working with, take some pics of the problem area you're seeing. And if you're not lowered these won't rub.
