    Right, i've now gotten my hands on a car that i intend to keep for more than a week, ive already put a T/B and water pump into her, Mp3, CD, Wma, and ipod compatable Head Unit, and was hoping to put a set of alloys on it, was thinking multi-spoke or a set of 7 spoke ones off an Avensis, the car is a '96 Carina E saloon GLi, what would be my PCD?



    Thanks

    No, it's scientifically proven. You can't. No matter how hard you try.

    Those wheels really suit the car, not a bit aftermarket looking. Be sure to get some McGard locking nuts, or some scrote will stroke them on you.

    You working for the big T as well? didn't know that!

    Celica has no direct replacement, but there are a raft of new Lexus F models on the way.
