im going to my toyota dealer tomorrow to see if they have any stock tc wheels around. this might be a stupid question but could i change them with my car jack like a flat tire and just go around the whole car. Also will the wheels change the milage of the car or are they the same size or would i have to buy new tires to accommodate this problem. Ive seen people with them on the forum and searched the rides and they seem to have different tires on them.

Thanks

they're from a celica (typed in celica lugnuts on google images). the ones i used are from a 7th gen celica since i have some wheels from a 7th gen. they work with the tc wheels, but aren't as pretty since they are open at the ends. you pretty much want to get that kind sice they fit in the lug holes and the collar part holds the wheel to the hub. i noticed a huge difference from the generic tapered type that i had on the car when i bought it. less shimmy and a shake in the steering wheel with the tc wheels and toyota lug nuts. i had some crappy american racing wheels without hub centric rings and you could say my steering wheel shook so much it was like a hand massager....lol. the only vibration i get now is from the driver side cv axle i need to replace since i killed it at the last rallyx.
