My car is going to stay the same color as it is right now (is300 graphite gray) I was wondering on opinions on which rims to get should I get the racinghart j8s in either gold or graphite or should I get some racinghart c4s and powdercoat them either gold or the color of my car

gold rims on a gray car will look disgusting. Did you mean bronze?

I agree with Mistri, gold or even bronze would look pretty ugly on a Graphite/Gunmetal car.
Go Graphite/Gunmetal on the rims, or even flat black or a glossy black....with a polished lip would look sick.

Those rims are nice but would look hideous on a Celica, Widebody or not.

we definitely have a difference in opinion on that one...and since he is getting the apr kit, he can get the deep dish look with the wheel which would, IMO, make it look hotter...but thats just me...:cool:

definately go with the wheel that has the biggest lip possible on it.
I run 20x9 Axis Se7en Mods on my widebody Cougar

I can help you with Hart made wheels (ie Racing Hart, RH Pro). I recommend going with Bronze RH Pro J8. Going with gunmetal wheels will make your car look too mono-choromatic. Congrats on getting your kit. KC at APR told me a kit went out to Boston, so I guess it went to you. If you need help with anything please let me know. I can help out a lot.

what about some work wheels...they have some that are available in widebody applications and fully customizable. everyone with the apr kit has racing hart wheels...be different
these for example are very nice

those work wheels look really nice but they would probably cost too much I was thinking about getting the cx's in gunmetal and RADR1732 I will be pm you in a few weeks once I have enough to purchase the rims
