16" Summer Wheels for 2010 Corolla - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm looking for suggestions for 16" summer wheels for my 2010 Corolla. I use the stock rims for my winter tires. I'm not doing any other mods, just wheels. I don't go to the track anymore, but the wheels need to be able to take potholes at 120km/h. What wheels work? What wheels should I avoid?

I could spend the rest of my life looking at wheel websites, so I'm hoping to focus my search a bit. Thanks!

Being in Ontario and you want sturdy wheels that need to be able to take potholes at 120km/h - Steel rims.

Actually, I ran on Rota Slipstreams on my last car and they survived. They were 15" 4-bolt, though.

Pretty much any wheel will do that.

The biggest factor in determining durability is the aspect ratio of the tire. For shoddy roads, I wouldn't go any less than 45-series.

Drag makes excellent wheel models. I suggest looking into the Drag DR-9.

I'll take a look, but I was hoping for some real-life experiences - the good, the bad & the ugly. Maybe it's too soon to get feedback for a 2010 car.
