Those wheels look great on your car, now get that thing lowered and you'll be all set.

Seeing these pictures makes me glad I finally decided I'd order lowering springs along with my new wheels. I think the gap becomes even more noticable once you've put on some nice wheels. Anyway, nice wheels, Was originally going to get feathers until I saw the time attacks.

yeah, then you can scrape the living shit out of the bottom of your front bumper

I'm 2 inches low and that's not low enough, I must have coilovers

im thinking about 1,5'' drop not more :) it will be enough for me and polish roads ( you have to belive me that they are really really terrible, thate are a lot of holes and bumps ).

now it will be raining for few days so i'm going to check the grip on a wet asphalt.

btw can you tell me if center caps help in something and do i have to install them ? ( protect bearings from dust and sand ? or they are just for good look ? ) because polished caps dont suit well for matt rimms

ps. sorry for my bad english

Looks really clean. It will look even better when you lower it.

Nice hoops, dawg... Did anyone mention it might look nice lowered? Hahahaha... I'm lowering mine FIRST to avoid the comments! (and my wheels won't be in until next week!).

Hrmm... 16X7 Silver Feathers actually look good on a silver Yaris. Good Job!!!

I thought they would look too plain but now I know better. I still like my wheels but for some odd reason my rear right rubs on hard bumps while the rear left doesn't. Can anyone PM me w/ a possible reason?

Again it looks good and only look better after lowering spring/coilovers
