Just bought some wheels and tires for 435 shipped, Ebay special 17"s Options

[1900WattCelica]

Finally going to be able to ditch the 15"s for 9 months of the year or whatever. I snatched these up on ebay for 435 shipped. I just noticed the listing yesterday and made a complete implulse bid 6 hours later. They are ICW 17" 920CB Stilleto's. Cant wait till I get them and get some Eibach sportline springs to complement them.

Ebay Listing





What do you guys think?

I think those might look nice on celi. I like those.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Good impulse. I like those quite a bit, should look sweet with a nice drop.

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

That's close to coomers wheels aren't they? I think they will look nice. Might paint them first though.

Is it still an impulse bid if you waited 6 hours after seeing them to do it? Lol. Nice find bro.

I am going to use my master formula metal gloss on them. That stuff is amazing. It will make them look better than new. If anyone is looking for a good polish, get this stuff. Order it on http://www.metalgloss.com/

will it work on gunmetal rims?

[boosted6g]

thats a great find

[2003cbgts]

damn those are nice

[droptopGT]

they sorta remind me of coomers

[1900WattCelica]

Heres the long overdue pics.... I also submitted a hi res so that one will be in my profile:









Yeah, Ill get that dent on the fender fixed this summer (and all of the others I managed to hide in the pics), just waiting for my buddy to get his current side project done. He and I agreed that we are going to repaint the entire car the brilliant blue that the 350Z has. The reason I didnt take pics of the drivers side is because the quarter panel has a nice scrape and dent, curteosy of a hit and run driver in a parking lot.

wow it looks hot..

is this after the polishing? do you have pictures before the polish?

[1900WattCelica]

Actually turns out that the rims are painted, not a metal finish. Therefore I ended up using the Meguiars 3 Step paint system. Used the paint clean once, used polish next and then 3 coats of carnauba wax. 4 long hours of work, but I will not have to do it again until next year and they will clean up really easy all summer long. The only pic I have of before I cleaned them was this one:



All of that rusty colored brake dust and other dullness is long gone and they are beautiful. Just needed some TLC

random post - i love GTI's

[1900WattCelica]

CelicaRocker, how can you tell if that car was a GTI or a 2 Door Golf....I could never tell the difference?? Unless your post was completely random and had nothing to do with the car that the rims used to be on heh. GTIs are pretty cool, My friend just bought a Mark III. Came with a really nice intake, sounds decent. Not too quick though, its only got the 2 point hoe, or 2 point slow (2.0L)

[95CelicaST]

personally I loved my MKII GTi. 16V. it was light and quick.. definately faster than our celi's.. even faster than the GT.. I miss that car... Bertha was her name... cause she had a fat a**.. and 18's
