    Hi everyone!!
    I was driving along the other day when i happened ot notice this shite box of a van with these wheels that look like stock sprinter wheels!! I know that it was a Toyota Tarago but I don't know what year or model it was!! Are these exactly the same as the original stocker wheels!! Cos i was thinking of getting a set of stocker wheels for drift wheels , just so the smaller diameter wheels with thinnish tyres would have a bit less traction so i'm not thrashing the car as much!! Yes i understand about sidewall flex and that traction is good, but we're not talknig competing or anything here just me spinning out heaps while i learn!! I would get some 14/15X7/8's eventually of course but for the moment i'm kindof broke so new (cool) wheels are out of the question!! So i was thinking wheels like the taragos and also an older model corona?? would be cheap as and common in the wreckers thus cheap drift wheels!! So if anyoine knows about the Tarago wheels or the slightly larger corona???? wheels can you tell me?? Just to save me pissing off every wrecker in town with very vague questions!!
    Cheers

    Those Tarago wheels look very similar to Sprinkler wheels, but are 14". They (or something very similar) also came on Coronas.

    i had them on my old old ae86
    yep theyre 14" and 6" wide (i think)

    they look alright with a good polish

    they came on tarago,coronas and celicas (and probably other things too)

    should be quite cheap from wreckers

    Q is, are the offsets right to take the Tarago wheels to the Sprinter hubs?

    EDIT: My bad Upgarage's pic just loaded after the reply

    same as celica, and should fit on to the sprinter, wats even better is the alloys that look like the ones on the black limited sprinter (which are also found on the tarago's and corona's)

    Awesome!!! i was kind of hoping that they were a little bit bigger than 13 inch anyway!!! Thabks for the responses and I'm actually surprised how cool they do look!! Isn't it just great when something you want to do to your car turns out cheaper than you expected!!!
    anyways it's off to the wreckers with me!!
