Got the GTS wheel from a salvage yard for 100. Install is simple. I'll get some photos soon. Looks and feels great.

There are other nicer leather wheels too, I am sure of it. I'm going to save my money to buy a GTS after owning a GT for a month now, so I can go from 0-60 mph 1 second faster! No thanks, GT2111 And the lift jokes are horrible. But I still laughed. 2004 Toyota Celica GT ***Blue Batmobile sponsored vehicle***
