I see. O well, to each his own. I got Kumho Ecsta ASX (Ku21) tires for the rims. they should be mounted on today but I'm going to drop them onto the car after monday which is my scheduled appointment for the first oil chance/service.

Off topic... but, I really dislike that term "rice". Afterall we're all talking about a Japanese car that we love and it just plain sounds derogatory. I wish we could all agree not to use "rice" on this forum.

alright well i got them installed today after my oil change. car is at 4,650 miles haha

brickhardmeat · 08-13-2007, 05:15 PM

Looks real good. Those center caps are much better than the ones they sent me. I trashed the ones I got.

Nice, Civic

just kidding, love those wheels i was looking for them in 17's, in that color but they are hard to come by.

*kimona* · 08-13-2007, 07:53 PM

Looking good! So, those are 15x7, 40's with 205/50's. Is that right, yrsdrgn?

yup yup 15x7 wit 40 offset and 205/50/15 tires ^^

As for the center caps I asked the guys who sold me the rims about different center caps and they said "here's what we have" and then i asked about the ones you see on my rims and they just gave it to me.........i checked their site during the night time and found out that them center caps sell for $18/each and i got 4 of them for free!!! lol

seanele · 08-14-2007, 02:35 AM

nice rims!!
are you sure they are 15??.
they more like 16in to me.

sherryberry · 08-14-2007, 09:52 AM

yay for new wheels

yrsdrgn · 08-14-2007, 02:00 PM

I have to agree with seanele, those wheels look like 16's.

With those small blue centers and the large polished rim, I thought the wheels would look like 13's. Wrong!

Hmm. If they do in fact look like 16's then I guess i made the right choice with the 15's hehe. Yea the wheels w/out tires mounted on them did look rather small.

*kimona* · 08-14-2007, 02:23 PM

The "problem" with the Yaris is that for such a small car it has a huge appetite to "swallow up" wheels.

Choosing the right set-up is important visually because many wheel/tire applications all the way up to 17's just look tiny on this car!

Yrsdrgn, you got very lucky, and your car looks great!

BTW, you could run some hubcentric spacers in the rear if you want a bit better look.

Thanks. Lucky? I think i might have been very lucky cuz the guy had a set of 16's and 15's lying around.

And I will try for 5mm spacers in the rear because I think that's about all I'll be needing to make it look more flush. I'll probably do that after i get my dent fixed in in the rear right fender (you can see in the pictures since all that i posted is the right side of the car haha)

*kimona* · 08-14-2007, 02:33 PM

Yup, 5mm's. That's what I'd try in the rear. Should look quite nice!

Find a GOOD bodyshop.

yrsdrgn · 08-14-2007, 02:38 PM

I've been looking around and found this place in my area called 19th ave auto body. I've seen some reviews of it and it's pretty decent. I'll have to check it out next month or so.
