Celica Alloy Wheels Advice Please

[Shaggles]

Hello guys!

Ive recently bought myself an 03 Celica and whilst it was love at 1st sight,I really want to change the standard 5 spoke wheels as they arent really doing it for me!

Im now sold on the 17" 12 spokes that came as standard on the special edition blue or red versions of the Celica but they seem to be proving incredibly hard to lay my hands on.Does anyone on here know where I may be able to get some (please dont say E bay) or even if you have a set yourself for sale as im starting to consider pulling my eyes out rather than trawl E bay for hours on end!!

Thanks(hopefully) in advance!!

If it helps, Matt, the rims you're looking for are Fondmetal 6200.

Thats excellent Scarlett arrow,at least I have a name now rather than getting all my scrap dealers counting spokes!!maybe if I ring my local Toyota with that name they may not treat me like im a !Removed! made of spiders and actually help this time eh??!!thanks again!

Great choice. I have these as standard on my Red Edition. Just be very careful as the metal is very soft and prone to flat spotting - complements of pot holes. I'm also looking for replacement centre caps - seems to be impossible to source.

[Shaggles]

Good advice there and definitely something to think about,especially since most of the roads I have to drive here in Devon seem to be pre-Roman at the minute.The centre caps must be a nightmare to find as the wheels themselves are proving illusive!!Definitely look the part though so worth hunting for!!

[Celica04]

Yep they are great. If you do find some I have a contact who can repair flat spotted alloys (West Midlands).

I have these if your interested? Barely a mark on them in regards to curbing and some slight lacquer peeling on one wheel there are actually five but the spare will need a refurb.....

Good news!!ive managed to acquire myself a set from e bay in the last week(it does have its uses).They were pretty "tired" looking when they arrived on weds so they are currently being refurbed ready to be nailed on in the week.Thanks for the offer derbylad,but I desperately wanted the 12 spoke fondmetals,yours are the ones off the t sport unless im mistaken??thanks for the help though guys!!

[derbylad81]

No worries yes they are on my t-sport I just fancy a change and like you have had trouble sourcing something nice that isn't overly priced but I'll keep hunting!

Post a pic of the finished product on your car would be good to see the wheels on

Long shot, but I have a set of unmarked 17" Wolfrace Shark rims with two tyres listed on Gumtree. They're located on the Derbys/Notts border.
