Rims

Would anyone consider a 15 inch rota black on their corolla...?

Would a tire size of 195/50, good for a corolla, i mean i know it will fit, but is it still a good enough size...?

I would never consider Rota rims. Also depends on the color of your car. I would only do black rims if I have a light colored car or want the murdered out look.

It depends on how wide the wheels are.

6.5" --> 195/55/15
7" --> 205/50/15

195/50 is a bit small, and will throw off your speedometer by a fair margin.

word is that rotas arent durable, but thats your choice. as for sizing mine are 15x7 with a 38mm offset. i run 195/50s and i think the size is perfect. I have heard of people with 205s but i think those might rub. PM me if you want pics

had 15" Rota SS for many years without an issue. Maybe if you drive like a ***got or a sailor you might break them, but for the other 10% of the posters here, you will be fine.

yeah u prolly will, theres enough rubber there to absorb impacts too. maybe if u were running on a tiny sidewall and let yourself whack the curbs, that would be different.
