Very nice ! What size are the wheels? I'm assuming your Vibe is a 1.8L?

I thought about doing this with the TC wheels. What did powder coating run you? I want a set of TC wheels powder coated black with red outline.

Can the car be aligned with the Celica wheels? Are all the offsets and everything the same? My mechanic usually says that the car has to be aligned with the original wheels. I on the other hand want to get rid of my original wheels ASAP!

I've aligned my car on my aftermarket 17's, so you'll be fine. They do look good!

Yeah I am not sure what the reason is, but after doing some research the 1.8L Base Steel Wheel and the Celica Wheel have the same dimensions and critical spacing. So I am not too worried, I should be A-OK

He has taken good care of me during the years but was never sure why he always made people bring in their oem wheels. I understand in regards to some huge rims and tires, eh whatever I can't wait to put the new wheels on my car

He thinks he can't put the reflector pads the machine looks at on the aftermarket wheels. probably. The GM dealership told me the same nonsense.
