hey there are many older jap rear wheel drive rims that will fit as well as plenty of new rear wheel drive racing rims / chrome rims.
do a search "ke55 wheels" and see what that brings up.
recommended wheels for ke55 would be:
for 14's:
14x6
114.3x4 pcd
+20 offset
tyres 185/60/14
for 15's
15x6
114.3x4 pcd
+20 offset
tyres 195/50/15
thats for a matched set, ie same size for front and rears.
( the corollas can run wider rear rims with an offset to suit but this is usually for drag cars because they wont have much body roll ).
you can find wheels in forums/ tyre shops/ trading post or wreckers.
the main thing is to get the specs right or the wheels wont fit,
so take 2 big metal rulers and check the wheels out. most times this information is cast on the wheel somewhere too.
1. check the size, you want 14x6 or 15x6
2. check the stud pattern is the same, for 4 stud wheels measure from the centre of a stud hole to the diagonally opposite hole, should be 114 on the ruler
3. measure the offset, there is an easier way of doing this, you can measure the backspace with the two rulers, put the wheel face down on the ground, put a ruler across the tyre and measure from the mounting face to the ruler. do it with your original wheels first and make sure it is the same or very close as the original wheels. have to improvise without tyres.
most tyre/mag places will be able to try on some rims if you are keen and they can also let you know the specs of the wheel too. the wreckers will let you try them too. i would advise you to test fit before purchase.
there are a few technicalities in this post.
