Call Monocoque Racing Wheels, 619-448-2900. They just quoted 15 x 7 for a
Celica application at ~$280 each. Weight should range from 8 - 10 lbs each
depending on your exact model and configuration (3 different rim-halve
thicknesses available, street --> max racing). I've had a set for 3 years
with the M3, and they're a direct fit for my new Z3 2.8 coupe, with only one
problem from a leak during the first tire mount process, but a teardown and
silicone reseal fixed that. Just tore them down for an overdue repolish,
reseal, and crack check as a safeguard before this season starts, after 3
years everything checked out fine.
