Any advice in this wheel I found in eBay?

I'm thinking of set of wheels for my white Vert (pretty much stock). I wanted a bit more handling, and thought I'll upgrade to 215/50-16 (gap is 0.9% speed difference from stock 205/60-15. This is most likely heavier than the stock BBS, but any advise?

Thanks!
Ricky

You need off set information... I thought the Celica had a 50ET offset, which may require spacers depending on what tire you use.

Thanks Icemark, as usual!
You're right, and I don't think it's worth the trouble.
It looks like I should look this section a bit harder

Thanks!

00+ Toyota Celica
16x6.5", 5x100, ET. 39, 205/50/16, CB 54.1

Bolt pattern too small, and I believe the RX7 hub bore is 67, so Celica hub bore too small.

Thanks for the advise, Turbonut.

I think I was too happy to find some affordable option in eBay and lacked research. I will thoroughly read through this area!

Thanks!
