ok I had no intention of buying any wheels on monday, but I noticed a screw in a tire and I took it to Les Schwabs. Before you know it I'm bolting on a set of 17" Alba wheels to my Celica. My friend made me a killer deal I could not pass up on a set they just repoed off a 7th gen Cel. Minor curb scratches on one wheel. Not even noticable. They are 17x7.5" Alba Inertia's and came with 215/45 Toyo Proxes with about 85% tread. I didn't really want something so chrome and flashy and also was shooting for 18"s originally, but after seeeing them bolted on I was hooked. So anyways, enjoy the pics.

Not sure about a spoiler. Maybe a factory hatch style like the electrodyne one you have Coomer. I just don't know if I would like it as much. For now though I'm going for the rest of a kit. I'm going fora 404 style front lip next. Then decide on the rear (depending on what fits on a coupe). Maybe get some new sides sometime down the road. The 404 style sideskirts I have now are kinda cheap. The fit isn't the greatest. I have scraped them over speedbumps though and they havn't cracked so i'm happy with them for now. i take them off every now and then and work on the fitment. so they are getting better. So as far as exterior goes those are my plans for now.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Nothing fits the back of a coupe eh? that sucks. Anybody know how much modifications are needed to make the HB rear "coupe worthy"? (On say a 404 or invader style).

there are actually a couple j-spec curren kits that fit our coupes. check out my profile for one  however the hatchback kit should fit without much trouble. factor in another 200-500 depending on the bodyshop. good luck.
