The ones I want will fit the Celica according to their application guide. I would post in the wheel/tire forum, but nobody goes in there.

don't get motegi's....

get something rare... something out of the ordinary... your kit will be off the hezzy... don't settle for wheels you see on any given civic...

get something exclusive

I have a set of MR 7's on my car and thus far I have no complaints --- I was going for a certain look (not too many companies make white rims in the style and price range I was shooting for) and I didn't care who had these rims or what cars they were on. I WANTED them and I purchased them. They were not expensive the lug pattern obviously matched and they seem to be fine. If you have explored all the avenues that are available to you and have come to the solid conclusion that these are the wheels you want, Then go for it ---- who cares who else has them or if they are on a civic or accord or any other car for that matter. They will look different on your car. Peace

Yota,

As long as you get the Formula 5 or Formula 7.
2 piece design.. custom offsets available...

Great Rims.!!!!

WCT sponsored RJ's MR2 Spyder!!!

We gave him a little sumthin sumthin.
He was gracious enough to put our sticker on the Spyder. Unfortunately, all I had was a Black Sticker. HEHE

At the next show I'll give him a silver one to match the other Sponsors..

I also get Ro_ja.. contact me monday...

Hope it helps!!

Motegi are heavy as Fu**... If you get it, it be all for looks. Its one of the heavier non-chromed (nonbling bling) rims you can buy.

Well, I don't have a whole lot of $$ right now and I want new rims. They are only costing me $800 for all 4 wheels. I can't really afford much more than that right now. :(

I dont think Larry will like that comment. Motegi's are okay and they are heavy. The only thing I dont like about them is that they are made by American Racing. If Ro_Ja sponsors them I dont see anything wrong with that.

Ok, let's correct this before it gets out of hand. Motegi's are not made by American Racing. They are distributed by them. They are manufactured in Japan.

You know what I mean Baldy.

Just didn't want anyone to think that those rims are in any way associated with the manufacturing process that American Racing Rims are subjected too. Course I am biased because I ordered them!

There is nothing wrong with Motegi. I almost got the tantrum look alikes in gunmetal. I just dont like the fact that they are associated with American Racing. But you get the point.
