Ok....sooo....I know it's a bit late for me to start it but might as well do it now. Lol. I bought my 1997 Toyota Celica GT for $4,500 on February 27, 2012. It had 175,000 miles on the cluster. It was in very good condition. The only problem I had on it was it had a CEL light on. Which was just the speed sensor in the cluster not working. Replaced that and the CEL was cleared. Also my car didn't pass emissions test but I eventually had that fixed after running on premium and Lucas Cleaner. Overall I was more than happy to pay the overpriced $4500.

Finally decided to mount on my 5zigen rims! Will be riding on them until there's a buyer. Lol. Looks nice but I still like my rpf1s better.

FN01s would look a lot better if they had different tires on them that weren't so tall and the car was lower, but when you have the option of running RPF1s.....go with the RPF1s.

Would've looked cleaner with either 215/45 or the 205/40. Either way the polished look doesn't look right on my silver. Lol. Trying to sell these 5zigens soon and do a hub conversion. -------------------- |

^Actually I had put that into thought also. I can always run a 5x114 to 5x100 25mm spacer/adapter after the 5x114 conversion and! The rpf1 will sit perfectly flushed. Also I can still ride on stock Celica rims. Since they're all high offsets.

To be honest mate if the US is anything like the UK then you'll sometimes struggle to find the right PCD wheels in a half decent fitment.
The issue I found when I had my MR2 which is 5 x 114.3 was that the majority of 5 x 114.3 wheels were on 200sx's, Soarers, Supra's and Skylines so the majority of them are too wide ie 8.5 or 9J Don't get me wrong 'm not saying don't do it but if you wanted to you could make life easier by getting some alloys from an Impreza or similar then get your 20mm spacers? |

That's the reason why I want to do a conversion. I want wider wheels and lower offset for a better fitment.

All of this money spent on wheels sure would buy a better engine...
