Draynor Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 So as some of you may have seen I got a new daily driver, a 1980 corolla wagon. So here are my dilemmas... What wheels do you guys think would look good on this car? I was thinking Libres , Any one have a pic of a corolla gOOn with Libres? Make me some suggestions, and ill have Oics so if any of you Photoshop fanatics wanna mess around with some ideas! Next Dilemma: Does any one know of any older style bumpers that could replace my ugly rear bumper? I was thinking maybe the older VW Rabbit bumpers? But I don't know, any one have suggestions?

metalmonkey47 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 ATS Cups look good on that!. Just need low pro tires and a drop! Got any closer pics? Those are some of my favorite rims EVER! Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 ATS Cups looks like. Got any closer pics? Those are some of my favorite rims EVER! I don't have any closer pics right now, but I can get some more when I get off work lolz Those look kinda similar to my stock wheels, but still look pretty good Quote Link to comment

My '85 Celica GTS had a similar bumper~ resembling that of a bookshelf! I disassembled it, chopped everything down and refit it almost 3" shorter than stock. Just enough to make people think "what's wrong with this picture?", but not quite able to put their finger on it... Another thought~ a narrowed 67/68 Firebird bumper for some bling! How about taking/sending your wheels in to have them put your centers on taller & wider rims? What you've got isn't bad looking~ it just needs to fill out the wheelwells a little better! Peace~ Scott Quote Link to comment

Peace~ Scott Thanks for your input! I think im going to try what you said about chopping the rear bumper a little and if that isnt a slim enough look ill try to find something at the junkyard and jimmy rig it lolz.

Supra wheels maybe? That's a sweet looking ride! I think those wheels look pretty good on it, and I think they would probably look good on mine too. I saw a pic of a brown Starlet with those wheels and looked pretty good, and that's a boxy car too so well see what happens. Anyone have a pair of libres for sale? Quote Link to comment

littlejason Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I was gonna go look for that ad, bananahamuck read my mind. I kinda want those myself. Quote Link to comment

Do you have suggestions on lowering the rear of the car? I pretty much know what i'm doing to lower the front. I am just not sure about leaf springs never had to work with them Quote Link to comment
littlejason Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Rearrange leafs, or lowering blocks. It's the same as a 510 wagon, go look around in the suspension section. Quote Link to comment

Not much to see here~ literally and figuratively. Pic doesn't do it justice, and it could use a bath as well. I also reinforced it with bedframe rails (hardened steel) and added the receiver hitch. Carved off 5 #'s and added 15 back on.... Quote Link to comment

That actually looks pretty good, How much father do you think you could chop it? Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I vote supras. It's like 510s with ZX wheels. Trying to be like big brother. If not that something with tons of dish. The panasports look good, but a steelie with lots of lip would be better IMO. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I really like the deep dish look, I saw some steelies a while back on here (can't find the thread now) but anyways they were steelies with a really big lip and someone had said they were from a older Mazda pickup, and they also said you used to be able to get them a Les shwab for cheap, but I can not find a pic anywhere Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 They Kinda looked like this, but I don't think there were any holes more of a triangle cut out, anyone know what ones I am thinking of? > http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&sa=X&biw=1024&bih=659&tbm=isch&tbnid=gnAZtPCZMwJZXM:&imgrefurl=http://www.toyotaminis.com/forum/wheels-tires-70/ok-i-wanna-do-custom-steelies-3544/&docid=r7z5Qntnm6y3NM&imgurl=http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l313/RENOG/IMG_4664.jpg%253Ft%253D1252473700&w=799&h=532&ei=dLEHT7WnHeixiQL--qGpCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=570&vpy=256&dur=170&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=152&ty=101&sig=114262283489929642056&page=2&tbnh=134&tbnw=164&start=13&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:13 Quote Link to comment

fisch Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 The boxier lines can lend itself to some modernist wheels, like Hoshino Impuls or some Advan's. Advan YH Quote Link to comment

albyneau Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 That actually looks pretty good, How much father do you think you could chop it? Without the hitch I could've carved off another 60-70% of what you see in the pic.... Quote Link to comment
