Help me pick a wheel!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

mehullica · 05-18-2011, 07:11 PM

Hello guys. So i've narrowed down my future wheel puchase to either Rota Slipstream, flat black or charcoal? Or Motegi MR121? I'm going for 15x6.5 with a 40 offset. I have a 2009 3-door in black sand pearl color with TRD lowering springs. What do you guys think looks best? I'm leaning towards the Motegi.

i like everything besides the motegi

BEEF · 05-18-2011, 08:22 PM

the first two look like the ones I am getting. they are coming from jcwhitney and if you do a quick search you can get a code for free shipping and the price for me was $340 shipped

I haven't gotten them in yet. shipping can be a bear sometimes.

i like the look you are going for. actually very similar to the look I am working towards.

I would check-out the wheels on discounttiredirect.com

Selection is decent, prices are usually very good, and customer service is excellent.

Eh if I had to pick - the third.

Slips with glossy black (not charcoal), but brakedust will be more visible

I say the Motegi's, but I'm not feeling the duel drilled setup.

ilikerice · 05-19-2011, 06:54 PM

i am not a fan of slipstreams.. i feel they are over used. i see them on every honda nowadays.. but if these are my only choices, id go with gloss black

Do rock paper scissors and until you get or flip a coin

ilikerice · 05-20-2011, 09:08 AM

whenever i do that i always end up saying.. "ok, best out of 5".. 30 mins later my girlfriend asks, 'why u flipping a coin?'... " i say, "Best out of 55''

that never works

RedRide · 05-20-2011, 03:06 PM

I like number two.
It has a very clean, classic look

I personally hate solid black wheels.

At a glance, it looks like the car is missing its hubcaps.
