    I really wish the Junk Yards here had any 8th gens. if anyone has a extra turn signal switch with fogs let me know. Hesitant on paying $90 for it from rockauto, also hesitant on the autozone wiring....

    Fogs look good, still not feeling the rims, but if you drop it, it should look a lot better. Also did you put the tint on the windshield as part of that update or have you had that?

    S-Techs leave too much room imo. If i were to do it again, Id get coilovers and dump it more. Next spring/summer, Im thinking about doing Hotchkis sway bars and coilovers if I want to continue working on this car.

    That's a lot for those Konigs, but you'd have to get a basic set of steelies to roll on for a bit. Just like roach said. Roll with the steels for a bit and save up for good rims and sell the steelies as well for more $$$. Some people on here will tell you to keep the steelies for emergencies, but that's up to you.

    Any pretty skinny 14 inch rim, can't think off the top of my head how many inches of range you have though, width-speaking.

    185/65-14 tires have a rim width range of 5 to 6.5 inches. Look for 14x5 to 14x6.5 wheels. Btw, 185 is the tire width in millimeters, 65 is the sidewall aspect ratio (the sidewall is 65% the width of the tire, so 123mm) and 14 is the rim diameter in inches.

    Everything you wanted to know about wheels and tires: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tiretech.jsp

    I had that exact tire size on my 99 Rolla's stock steelies. From your pictures, they look like the same tires I had, BFGoodrich Traction T/A. Good tires. I think the stock steelies were 14x5.5.

    I'll echo the support of the steelies. There's no shame in rolling around in a lowered Corolla with black steelies. I did it in my 99 on Tein S-Techs and Tokico Blue gas struts. That thing looked badass.

    So I'm going to rebump my thread.
    I need some help finding rims (hoping to buy some by uhh whenever cash magically flows in)
    I like mesh style and deep dish and I'm not looking to break the bank on them either. I'd spend about 300-450
