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, right now I'm leaning towards the gunmetal. I took a look at it and they would be next to impossible to actually powdercoat black and leave the lip polished due to the bolts around the perimeter. I've got a line on a couple of others that are promising but they don't have the width (18x7.5) I'd like given the soon-to-be newfound power.
