Let's talk about rims. Toyota Corolla 91'

[Armil]

So, my cousin is sellin me a Toyota Corolla 91' from a shop he works at for about $2,750 yeah pretty old car, but, they've taken good care of it, got new paint on it this yr, lowered n installed, nice interior, fixed the engine so it runs like it's brand new.

Right now, it has 13" rims on it i think. I wanna put either 15"-17" inch rims on it. Since it's lowered..he was saying that if i put a 15"-17" inch rim on it, the ride won't be as smooth cuz the tire might hit the fender on bumps. Is there a way to solve that? do i have to raise it back up again? or would it be ok to put the 15"-17" inch rims on it? I wanna go 17" though, but, if I'm short on money, or if the car won't allow it, i'll put 15" or 16".

Also, how are the rides on the 17" rims? Is it not adviseable to lower and put large rims on a car? I'll probably be usin' the car to drive back n forth to college, about a 45min ride everyday each way. I wanna look "flashy" but also want a smooth ride. So, what do i do with the rims? I don't wanna keep the 13" on that Toyota, looks like it could go bigger.

So you want to put 15' to 17" "rims" on it, do ya? What about the rest of the wheel? If you only have the "rim", how are you going to attach it to the car? Wouldn't you feel stupid because you only bought "rims" instead of the entire wheel for your car?

More importantly, don't you feel stupid by coming on to a forum and using the wrong word seven freaking times in the same post? If you're old enough for college you should be old enough to make proper use of the English language. Try it sometime.

vwhobo, your being pretty mean to a first timer. Well, i would advise against the 17inchers, one they are not flashy but tacky (for your wheel size), two; they put more weight and strain onto your engine. And overall, if you have the money to buy 17inchers why not spend it on something more useful like engine modifications that not only increase horsepower but fuel efficency. And its college, save up your money for future purposes, life is full of surprises and money does not grow on trees, you want to be prepared for those surprises.

Ohhh im sorry. I mean, the RIMS and the TIRES, I wasnt sure if your Conestoga wagon from da deep Cajun country had those. And i'm in awe that your intellect can count to the number 7..the 7 times i used the "wrong word"..i wasn't sure if it could be produced by someone who's parents are his own brother and mother.

Now do you feel stupid for messin with a college boy? haha.. I may the the new kid around the block, but you'll always be the shit on my shoes...yah i wear shoes unlike your redneck ass. 2 can play at this game.

oh..n thanx for the tips from the other ppl. Maybe i should get 60" "rims" so i can run over this guys farm.

The more you type the more stupidity you display. Do I feel stupid for messing with a college boy? No, I feel I've wasted my time because you are a typical, self centered, egotistical, arrogant and let's not forget STUPID little wannabe. You, and people like you, are the problem with society today. The only thing you've gotten right so far is calling yourself a boy.

You continue to use the word "rim" even after you've been corrected and given the chance to use the proper word. You have shown yourself to be a worthless and insignificant individual who will no doubt wash out during your first semester and even the lowest level of post secondary education.

By the way Twinkie, how does it feel to mess with a man that has two degrees. Go crawl back under your rock.

The more that YOU write..the more it shows how low of a life you live. you've posted over 3thousand times on these forums. I bet you live half of you life at work on the computer, then the other half of your life on the computer AT home. doing what? probably hitting the refresh button hoping someone replies to your statements..and finding posts to reply to with off topic remarks.

Nope, not a first yr. first sem. "college boy" here... 3rd yr actually. And who gives a crap about your 2 degrees anyways? should we all take a step back so that you could think up some more worthless replies? I can see your subtle ways of tryin' to actually "be someone" on these forums..when in fact, you're probably the guy at work that ppl hate to hear speak, because of the worthlessness that comes out of your mouth.

N i'll tell tell you what the problem in society is..it's the stuck up ppl like you, and those that feel they need to control other ppls decisions. I'll tell you what, look at the ppl around you, nobody wants to be anywhere near you n nobody wants you in their lives. So go on and keep searchin for more posts to reply to, n keep searchin for replies to you. Do what you do, hopefully you can make 5000posts by the end of the year!

Unfortunately you're missing the point... Or more correctly you're attempting to divert peoples attention from the real issue here. You are unable or unwilling to simply recognise the fact that you are using the word "rim" when you mean to say wheel, which is the correct name. Either way you are displaying your stupidity by not doing so AND you're not even man enough to admit it and then change your ways. You, little man, will someday wake up and realize that words mean things... Or you'll remain an unemployed college boy. At this point I vote for B.

he's not going to take your advice, he's just going to have to figure that out for himself. besides, quit kissing ass, carexpert, this post wasn't, but the pervious one of yours was.

americans use the word headers instead of exhaust mainfold but i don't bitch about it. also you use the term ricer instead of asian cars but i don't bitch about that either. rims,chromes, who cares?

let the flame wars begin!!

Well let's see, could it be that while a header is in fact an exhaust manifold, an exhaust manifold is not necessarily a header? Two things that perform the same basic function but are completely different animals. And where exactly did you get the information that "americans use the word headers instead of exhaust mainfold"?

If you had a clue what a ricer is, you wouldn't have even made the second statement. Besides anyone with a clue, which of course leaves you out, knows that a ricer doesn't even have to be an Asian car. There are plenty of riced European and American cars.

Finally, if you don't care about misuse of the English language, that is your prerogative. However I won't sanction it. Go merrily on your way through life calling wheels "rims", displaying your stupidity on the way. Have a great life.

How can a header be an exhaust manifold but an exhaust manifold isnt a header. I thought the correct term was exhaust manifold but people just call them header for short of exhaust header.
