Difference between Japan and France 15" steel wheel - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks for responding - I figured someone would know! It would be interesting to poke around them and see the differences (if any). Do they use a lot of locally made parts (in the EU) vs. made in Japan?

I ended up finding some new Japan-made ones for $75 shipped on eBay. I got a check for $700 from the other insurance based on a quote from the dealer so the car is getting four new Michelins, too!

I had Pilot Sports on the car before the incident and they were excellent -- but, sadly have been discontinued in 175/65-15 so I got some Michelin Energys instead (German-made, H-rated, come on the Mini). Thought they would be fun to try.
