Need Advice

[selika2000]

Ok, here is my situation.. I need advice.

I have 18x7 Enkei Shuriken's... however, I busted a rim and they are discontinued, and I can't find them anywhere.

So, I've been doing a lot of thinking... I'm so in love with my Shurikens.. this is what I decided.

To put the stocks back on my car... Store my Shurikens in my garage (not give up hope that there is one in the nation somehwere)... and buy new rims for the time being.

So, this is where I need your help.

I had 18's.. and if I'm going to go all out and buy new rims.. I want 19's. What's the offset I should be looking at with 19's? Anything I need to know about 19's on my car? Does any one have any ideas for new rims for me? NO SPOKE RIMS. I like to be original, and not jump on the band wagon.. I'm not sure if I should go with chrome or not, since my celica is silver.

I'm just so lost right now, and I'm in desperate need of my car, I miss it so much, and I have to get it out of my mom's house.

Any idea's?

And, if you can help me find my Shuriken... you'd make me the happiest girl ever!! :)

Sorry to hear about that Selika. But my advice is to contact Sacha of edgeracing. Maybe they have a hookup of the wheels you need and guide you in the right direction. But, please dont get chrome wheels. IMO it wont look right with our cars. Chrome rims belong on Escalades.

I just always felt that my car shouldn't have chrome wheels, since it's silver already.. so that's why I bought silver the first time. However, through my new rim search, I've seen some nice silver celica's with chrome rims.. that's why I'm asking for advice, and maybe some pictures of rims.

your offset will depend on the rim width too not just the wheel size. then the tire size come into play.... I got 19x8.5 rims and that's the widest you can get on a celica unless you do a wide body and get a bigger outer lip but for thise I think they were around 30mm-32mm offset. let me check the specs to be sure tho.....
For the Tire Size the biggest I can get W/ these wheels is 235/35 19

I got plenty pics of rims are you looking for 1 2 or 3 piece wheels?
Do you want forged, Spun, or just some more gravity cast wheels?

No Chrome it's too much.... Having a Polished lip or chrome lip W/ silver finished centers looks really good tho....

Wanting Wheels W/O spokes Kills 99% of the rims avail but I''ll try to find stuff.

Like I said there is not much out there for wheels that aren't spoked...

Josiah is right. Its gonaa be tough to find rims that dont have spokes in them. I cant even think of any off the top of my head. Good luck on your search.

Josi, Try to get me prices on the Enkei Katana's in 18s and 19's.. both silver and chrome. I would like to see those 4 prices.. compare them. I'm not sure what I'm looking for just yet.

Also, get me a price on the Enkei Shuriken's in Chrome.. in the 18's since they don't come in 19's.
