More bad news folks: Another wheel that once was available in mk2 fitments is being discontinued - the Racing Hart C2 three-piece. So for those of you trying to save up for them... sorry about your luck.
Hopefully the Braid wheel order will come through and become a source.
No kidding? Hey, Jay B. looks like you're outa luck! Anyhow, I'm with George for a group buy for Braids. Can't wait to get them. I'm surprised only 3 of us are in GB as others backed out or lack of funds. You can't beat $350 each for Braids. We'll see how these wheels look.
I'll be looking for ya at Dayton (never been there and we never met). How can I find ya? If you see me with a black '84 7mgte mk2 then say hello, OK?
Yeah well, once the wife graduateds medical school and gets a residency, the budget is going to at least be something reasonable... Ever look at tution for Medical School? I could buy two nice freaking houses for what its costing to send her to school...
Too bad about the Racing Harts. Those are some sweet wheels! I am sure I will be very happy with my Braids, however. I should have them in 4-6 weeks by the time they make em and ship em. Kind of funny though, I am going to end up seeing both of the other mk2's running the same wheels, Mike in Dayton and George in Toronto. At least Mike's wont be the same as mine. He went with 17x8 and 17x9's. I wanted the reversed lip that was only available on the 16's, so I am getting 16x8's all the way around with a 0 offset. I can't wait to seem them in person. You can see a rough/blurry pic of the wheel left of all of my posts.

- That will be 2 black mk2's running a 7M. MarK C has one too. Think he's running stock wheels with 235/60R14s though. Yeah, I can't wait to see the Braids myself. Should be really cool.
If you're looking for me at the meet. Just look for the guy who should be on the golf course. I'll be getting out of one of the cars in the sig. If I seem busy during the day.... just offer me a can of ice cold Coca Cola. That usually makes me pause. :lol:

Chad,
I'll look for you, too. 4-6 wks is cutting close to Dayton meet. I really would like to check out your Spearco mk2.
Razzor,
LOL, my dad is a golf nut. so I'll know how to find you! BTW, I know Mark, we've met before when we both had stock mk2. Gonna be cool with at least 3 turbo mk2's.

I just read this today (3/31) - what a bummer - I really love the RH C2 3pc wheels. Maybe someday James "Razor" will sell me his? but I won't hold my breath. I seem to compare every wheel with the C2's... I'm eager to see how the Braids look on the cars though - they look pretty nice - also would like to see the Introforged Swifts on PAt's car (I'm sure he wants to see them on his car also..)... Jay B... still with stock wheels..
Hey Jay, yeah, I was surprised to hear about C2 not made for mk2 anymore and felt sorry for ya. Oh well, I'll get some pics once I have Braids installed.
I am sending my rims to Love20bee to get them upsized to 16x8. I said I want +10 offset in the front and -10 in the rear.
Most people run a 0 offset all around which leads to a bit further out in front and a bit tucked in the rear than I would like. I have heard maybe a +5 front and -15 rear...
A common recurring question amongst new patrons to CelicaSupra.com is where to get replacements for the stock 225/60-14 tires. Assuming you're rocking the stock 14x7 P-Type rim (that seems to be the most common) you'll need to look around, availability keeps getting slimmer.
Quick Facts:
82...
So I wanna get my wheels done by Love20bee in Cali. He says I can get what ever offsets I want.
He can make them stepped and 3 piece.
$1800 for the set.
My question is...what offsets to use ? +0 in front and +10 in rear? 8in wide?
I want these done ASAP, in the process of 2jz-ge VVTi and ths...
What if anything does anyone know about doing this size. I've seen 16x8+0 is an option, but I like the xxr 527s but the only offer an 8.25 width. Really I like the konig decagrams but if the pattern doesn't fit you have to move on lol.
