Hey Guys,

My 86 is about a week away and I can't believe the "dreaded wait" is almost finally over!! So in preparation for the arrival I am starting to look at possible upgrades for the wheels as I am getting a GT model.

I am looking to get 18" wheels and I am a bit of a noob when it comes to this - looking to become a pro so I can maintain my 86 for many years to come, this will be my first enthusiast car :-)

So I am sure that when it comes to custom fitting wheels, certain wheel measurements must be taken into consideration (depth, width) - is anyone able to shed any light on this? or point me to a good website that might help.

Also, once I have the correct measurements - what is the best way to go about ordering wheels - A good mate of mine has said to buy online and get shipped international as it will be a lot cheaper. Can anyone suggest good sites to look at?

From a quick Google search I have found the following:

Thanks,

Michael
