My "new" toy. Here is the story. Since high school I have been wanting this car. First was the USDM spec however as time went on and I started getting more into these Japanese made vehicles... I got more into the JDM spec of things.
Anyways I wanted to import this vehicle so badly however at that time the GT4 was not yet 15 years of age, so I couldn't import it. While waiting there was a fight going on between importers and Transport Canada going on for the worse. The ruling that one cannot bring a vehicle over unless the vehicle was at least 25 years of age. Since I heard this, I felt that I should give up on my want to bring the GT4 over to Canada... So I bought my first 6th gen, a 1997 Celica GT 5SFE: ![]() ![]() Had this vehicle for a while, then found out that the ruling for the 25 year importing fell out. So I imported this baby: ![]() ![]() I was now the second owner of this GT4.. and I now obtained my dream car!!! This is where my story begins...

I have decided to start looking for some new "shoes" as the stock 3-Spoke wheels are just not doing justice for me anymore. I would really like to have a "street" looking vehicle so I figure that wheels ranging from 7 - 10 spoke is where I would start.
I have checked out tirerack.com and have come up with some options. I am hoping that someone could maybe help me with some photoshopping as I am absolutely terrible with that program. Also I would like a "flush" look. I have checked "Timmyface's" progression and based on that information I think that 18x8 with 30 offset is the best measurement to go with to have "flush" fitment withour spacers. (Please correct me if I am wrong) Anyways, here are the options that I have come up with: Option 1: Motegi Racing SP10 Hyper Black Size: 18x8 Offset: +40mm Backspacing: 6.06" Bolt Pattern: 5-100 Rec. Tire Size: 215/35-18 Weight: 19.0lbs. Option 2: Enkei EDR9 Bright Silver Size: 18x7.5 Offset: 38mm Backspacing: 5.74" Bolt Pattern: 5-100 Rec. Tire Size: 215/35-18 Weight: 23.0lbs. Option 3: Enkei Performance Imola Bright Silver Size: 18x8 Offset: +40mm Backspacing: 5.98" Bolt Pattern: 5-100 Rec. Tire Size: 215/35-18 Weight: 22.4lbs. And this last one is one that really caught my eye: BBS CF Machines w/ Anthracite Accent Size: 18x8 Offset: 35mm Backspacing: 5.82" Bolt Pattern: 5-100 Rec. Tire Size: 215/35-18 Weight: 24.0lbs. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!! |
