In response to c_huyn32's recent poll, its clear lots of corollas on here are S models. I got my CE a few months back for an awesome price (bought it from my bro) and am finally starting to customize it.
On the next to do is install my fog lights, install my new double din (chinese) and alpine type R sub,order a roof/lip spoiler (love flawed legacys) and then some new 17 inch rims with trd springs come summer....
Any other CE/LE modified corollas wanna post some pics? Im looking for some inspiration for other ideas
I also have Pivot throttle controller, just installed Takeda intake, MagnaFlow exhaust, LED light swap, Front Plate relocation, HID Fogs/Lows, Luminics Pure Blue DRL/Highs (looks nice and white!), the roof and lip spoilers, eyelids, aftermarket wheels, trd springs, Husky weatherbeater liners, and loads more. Check out my CarDomain page (click pic in my sig) for full list of my mods for ideas.
Some random pics for ya:

Looking nice! I have a pivot throttle controller I still need to install as well, looking forward to it! I just need the ice and snow to melt a bit before I work on it...
What size are your rims? I'm loving how they look.

what do you think of this rim for my silver corolla....I think it would look pretty tight. I'm gonna order my spring/summer/fall tires in a week or two.
I'm new to the after market rim game, but this guy should be fine right? I think its pretty close to the stock offset.
Nice to see some more base models out there.. Currently got on my CE, Hood Dampers, rear tint, drop stop, pivot 3, trd springs, fogs, led reverse lights, obx shift knob with shift boot (AT). Weapon R SRI, Stock steelies with winter tires.
I have but havent installed yet, Borla exhaust, TRD fsb and rsb(comming in the mail). Cheap random black with chrome lip aftermarket 17" rims (needs summer tires, wont put on until i head south for better prices)
Want to add double din and a lip spoiler, probably more once the bank builds up again.

1st member to install the Takeda!
My camera is junk, but you get the overall look
These are old pictures from last summer, it's impossible to have a clean car here during wintertime unless its -15C outside. Now running 16in steelies with winter tires.

Very nice looking wheel. When you do get tires though get a 225/45R17 tire as it will help the speedo be closer. The 215/45R17 tire is a little too small even though Toyota recommends it as it keeps the speedo reading fast.

HIR1(HI-BEAM), DIY CAI, TRD rear sway bar, XRS front strut bar....oh yeah, I have a bug deflector.
So why have you never purchased wheels to get rid of those terrible hub haps?

I bought the car for fuel economy...the suspension mods make it much more stable at highway speeds. We get a fair bit of wind where I live so stability on the road is big for me. Wheels would yield little to no result in fuel economy increases, or driving comfort. Since the 15" wheel gave me enough road feel for my tastes, there was no real incentive to spend & since my travel is mostly highway, buying rims equals a poor return on investment.
... Plus if I got rid of the hubcaps I'd have to change my signature, which I think looks cool.

But it would look so much nicer. And if you bought some really light weight 15" wheels you could even improve your mpg.
And on a side note....I hate hubcaps at all costs. They should be outlawed IMO.
