Sick of my chrome, heavy, wrong offset, awful wheels. After some 17x8's that look decent and have a offset that'll fit a bit better then these crappy WRX wheels (so around +30-35).

Ideas for where I could get some new are welcome as well, I'll buy from anywhere in AUS, but not overseas (shipping too exxy).

Quite fond of 5 spoke designs. Must be under 8kg. Have decent budget. Not brand fussy.

7th gen Celica has a 5x100 spoke pattern.

Edit: Got wheels, on the way.

Try Tempe tyres which do really good prices on wheel and tyre packages. They are over east but have a flate shipping rate of $100 + insurance I'm pretty sure. Ask how heavy they are though as I'm pretty sure most of their range is pretty heavy.

For something in Perth try tek9tyres, from what I've seen they get the more expensive branded stuff though.

P.s. 5 spokes are the beast haha

I tried tech9tyres today... they cant get anything in a 17 that'll fit, even 17x7. It was all roses until I mentioned offset. I can go up to 18s and get something that'll fit but I would really like to stick to 17.

Something to ponder.

Anyone else got ideas?

Rota Slip stream - probably best to buy off us ebay seller for these, even with shipping they don't cost the earth.

KevO is selling this in his thread..

Actually, I think it's the wrong PCD. I think the ZRE Corollas are 5x114.3.. someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry but that offset looks wrong man, look how far in the rear wheels are. All Australian 5x100 wheels are for Imprezzas pretty much... offset too high. Although in black it doesn't look nearly as bad as my hideous chrome offset fail wheels.

I have one lead I'm working on at the moment, hopefully it pays off cause they're nice.

Yep tried them. They had a useful suggestion of trying to find a wheel I could get in a blank and they could drill it for me, which of course opens up a whole heap of possibilities. Prob is, all the wheels you could get in blanks kinda sucked.

I saw those on Saturday, I fkn KNEW they came in +35 the bastards. That said, ew 10 spoke.

I have a couple extra options on the table, I'll be satisfied with 17x7 now so thats opened up a few extra, cheaper options.

FOUND WHEELS!

17x7.5 +40 offset. Offset could be better, but is a LOT better then the 17x7 +47 that's on there now.

I'll tell you what they are when I have them ;) but I will say they are 5 spoke.

I swear I'm going insane with this wheel business! Why the hell did the Celica have to have a 5x100 stud pattern!

Getting very close to biting the bullet and importing. I wont wheels in time for the track day but at least they'll fit...

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks

      2007 - Floor mat

      Hi. I have a nice 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed automatic transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
