You have to find a wheel design with a flat spoke like the wheel that I have. Getting a offset closest to 45 will obviously be best for handling steering response.
It's quite hard to find some a local member searched for one that was durable n had a bit of show. But mainly go cause he tracks vehicle with super strut n GT4 brakes. Best he could come up with without breaking bank was 17+8 with +36 offset This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: Jan 27, 2016 - 12:36 AM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

In most cases ET35 is your best bet.
The standard wheels had an offset of ET45 but the wheels were obviously designed for the car.....they have really thin spokes which clear the front callipers.........., aftermarket wheels with an offset of ET45 will not clear the front callipers. I have tried many wheels and even an offset of ET35 is very close to the calliper in some designs. -------------------- |

I used to run a set of Katana wheels for a couple of years. They're cheap wheels but I never had any trouble with them.
However I ditched them cause I felt my car deserved a little better quality, and I'd say your GT-4 definitely does. They do look nice but i'd try to resist the temptation |

those are the wheels you are getting?
The casting on the rim says Rays Eng. Did they just use a picture of CE28 or do the wheels actually have the Rays Eng. Casting mark on it. Fakes are getting serious!!! lolol --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Nahh. I dont think you were getting heat. I think everyone knows already that the celica community is cheap (not calling you cheap) so people who show up talking about i.e. xxrs wont get too much flack since half the community is running fake heavy wheels haha.
WHATD YOU GET WHAT WHAT!!!???!
