So I just bought these wheels from my friend brand new never used still in box. Ive searched the forums and cant find any info/pics of a celica with the matrix 17" 5 spoke. Well I think it will look clean so I bought them, (They have the same bolt pattern) And im just contemplating taking my tires off my TC wheels and mounting them on these new ones. So my question is has anyone seen it done or have a pic?
Heres what they look like

I think its going to give it a nice OEM look to it since you are lowered. Is the face color machined silver? the first shot looks as if its black.

Polish up the face even more, meaning throw 200, 500, 800, 1000, 1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper onto it and then finish it up with aluminum polish. The polished sections of the spoke will look really shiny, even almost like chrome. It would give it a nice clean look.

The 5 spoke is really growing on me, they look sick. Maybe its the camera angle but in the pics the matrix wheels look bigger then the TC's. And stranger still i think they look bigger in person. Guess its just the style of the wheel.
