Hey guys, my name is Matt and I am 21 and from the Seattle, WA area. I found this forum by looking through some photo albums online and seeing some stickers. I got a kick out of "the frame bang gang" as I know what thats all about.. Anyways, I drive a 1995 Toyota Celica GT that I have done a complete JDM GT4 exterior conversion too. Right now, I have a 3rd gen 3sgte that is in my storage unit waiting to be swapped in, and then eventually I will get on the AWD conversion. But for now, she's just low and slow. I also have a 1988 Toyota Celica turbo alltrac, but its not as pretty.
Here's a couple pictures, hope you guys like. Sorry they were taken from my phone.

Yeah, I agree. I got them for super cheap a couple year ago just because I like them more than stock.. So I kind of just fitted them up for the time being. I got no moneys for real wheels right now (really want some boss works or somethin) and really, really don't want to bring myself to getting XXR's or Rota's, but its looking more and more inevitable for the near future
 . Also, 5x100 wheel sizes SUCK excluding XXR.

naw man, save for real wheels. you'll regret wasting money on xxr's or whatever. it will take longer, but it'll be worth it.

Have you ever heard of Rotiform? most of the wheels they sell are 5x100 -------------------- there will always be somebody with a cooler car than you...just dont park next to that person

Haha, like i said, I really don't want too. Just want a new style and more width. And i gotta buy a house so spending over $2k is not flying with the woman right now, lol. Dont know why I said inevitable, haha, I honestly don't ever really consider it.. Would much rather wait.
As far as 5x100 sizes, im just saying I would like some 17 x 9 or 9.5 +20 give or take. And some of the wheels I have pondered in the past are wheels like work xd9's or cr kai's which pretty much max out at 8.5 width +in the 30s offset for 5x100. Or te37's in 5x100 are like 16's and 18's and aren't wide with a reasonable offset like the 114.3's I've seen. That's all I'm saying. Not that I haven't seen them, they are just rarer I guess. I don't know. Like I said, I really want some boss wheels, and it will happen sooner than later.. |

different indeed! i like it. looks like it could use a front lip of some sort.
these are pretty cheap and come in 18x9.5 +25 5x100 you could also get some used real wheels in weak offset and other pcd for super cheap and just get adapters. --------------------  |

keep an eye out here for 5x100. also there are lots of good wheels to adapt to 5x100 and a good place to find used adapters -------------------- there will always be somebody with a cooler car than you...just dont park next to that person

Wow, I actually haven't checked out Rotiforms for awhile until just now. Those are awesome, definitely in consideration, love those sizes. LOL!! My gf walked in on me looking at wheels (again) and literally, no joke a tear rolled down her face and she asked why I care sooo much about wheels instead of doing something nice..haha.. Thank you for the links though guys, will def keep an eye out.
As far as the Alltrac goes, I'll post some pics later but I actually just sold it last night . But fortunately it is to a close friend who has more time and means to get it where it deserves to be and needs a daily so he can park his drift steed. I'm planning to sit on the cash for a bit, but I eventually plan on picking up an e30 and eventually would love to 1j swap it.

Welcome! Very clean car, I dig it big time. Those wheels are killing it though. OEM would look better IMO.

I put some TRD splitters on the front and rear. Would eventually still like to get a lip up front, but these will do for now.. Still on the quest for dope wheels!
