Ok, so it's confirmed that HP Design Wheels does NOT make the HPR5 in black with the Celica 5x100 bolt pattern. But, they do have the following (these are 18x8 with a 38mm bs):
Silver  Gunmetal  Gold  So, I want opinions. What color would look best on a red 99 GT with tint (35% probably)??? I'm kinda feeling the gold although I REALLY wanted the black. Gunmetal is nice too though. Shoot, I could even get the silver and have the clear coat stripped and the powdercoated black if I REALLY wanted. If anyone has pics of gold wheels on a red celi, post them up!!! Any other rim suggestions?? Pre-requisite is they must be a 5 spoke design, clean, with a decent lip. NO CHROME. We're looking to do the wheels immediately after the motor swap. --------------------  |

Well, black would be the optimal choice, but they're just not available. My only option there would be to have a silver set powdercoated. Pricey, but unique at that point. The gunmetal would be nice for sure, but it would be the ONLY gunmetal piece on the car, which I don't want. At least the black would go with the tint. We'll see what happens at crunch time in a couple of months.
