Well Tamiya in all it's wisdom decided to put in the crappy 15" wheels instead of the more common optional 16" wheels with their Celica GT-S kit. Since I'm trying to do a replica of my car I'm looking for something similar to the optional 16". Here is a pic of it.

instead of these 15" that came in the kit.

Here are what I have found so far that's kindda close. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions. Thanks.

Fujimi MR-S S Edition - they are very similar except 4 vs 5 lugs :(

personally I don't think any of the other wheels, other than the MRS wheels look at all similar, besides the fact that they are 5 spoke. those MRS wheels would be your best bet from the ones shown, but they look to be 14"

MRS-S wheels are practically identical, I would go with those.

I think MR-S wheels are suppose to be 15 instead of 16...
I don't know, I might just go with something else instead of trying to do a replica.
