Hi, anyone want any info or prices on alloys, tyres, give us a ring, we have pretty competitive prices and they include fitting, chrome valves, and locking wheel nuts - we also do pipercross filters and induction kits, springs, breaks, and Powerflow exhaust systems.

nice wheels

[LORD_ED]

nice on the right car not sure if they would suit the st205 though but will wait for the pics

[mikeb]

Nice wheels!

I would be scared to leave my car anywhere with wheels like that though. It's always be in the back of my mind (or the front), 'is my car ok'.

What does your insurance company say about it? I know mine wanted about an extra £75 for non standard wheels (and that doesn't include covering the wheels themselves, just their assumption that the vehicle is at a more risk of being stolen outright for the wheels).

[GT4 BOOSTER]

£32.50 more a a year . my gt4 is only used on sundays usually zzzzzzzzzzzzz !!!! i use my jeep for work , 2 sets of wheel nuts should be ok,also i am usually driving it only and rarely park up anywhere,only in my garage.

Strewth. Tough luck mate. Where did you order `em from? I`ll avoid the place.

[sxb182]

Nice wheels mate but you shouldnt need spacers,nasty things, think they have ordered you wrong fitment best check it out!

[GT4 BOOSTER]

i would of thought i needed 17 x 7.5 , since the old wheels are 16 x 7.5 - they sent me 17 x 7 but hit the word celica when i nip up the nuts.only need about a 1mm spacer but its not the done thing.

[sxb182]

Somethings amiss then. They must seem to sit in abit then when infront or behind car, just checked mine and got just over 1" clearance from caliper, seems like they have ordered wrong offset to me!

[GT4 BOOSTER]

they clear the caliper at the sides ok , they hit at the front as you look at them.

sizes are 7x17 5x100 et 35

[kw84]

OOPS...SORRY FOR THE AD PEOPLE!!!!!! :-)

WASN'T THINKIN!

[kw84]

meleborn ET35-38 should be spot on for Celica mate!! Depending on the design of the back of the wheel you will have different amounts of caliper clearance...have you got a brake conversion??

I kinda like this rim --->

Wen't to look at few Celica's today but were TRASHED (had bodykit on but had chunks out of front bumpers like some !Removed! charva had tried to crow-bar them off) had 68,000ish on clock and were going for like 6grand...

prob worth 3k max!

[kw84]

Oh yeah, as for spacers...if you take a wheel off and look at your hub you will notice the centre part fits perfectly into the bore on the back of the wheel (if not you need a set of spiggot rings), well you can space up to about 5mm before you lose the hub. The wheel must be sitting on that centre part of the hub otherwise your studs take all the pressure (and can sheer off - never good!!). After 5mm you should get specially made spacers with an extended hub on it for your wheel to sit on. Perfectly safe though we have done em on Evo 8's!! AS LONG AS YOUR GETTING ENOUGH TURNS ON YOUR NUTS - ouch!
