pic of the new wheels.

Can you do me a favor:

Can you see what the Maximum Load Capacity is? It should be cast somewhere on the backside of the wheel. No wheel manufacturer's website has this information and nowadays, wheels are mounted to the wall so I can't go in and check myself.

TIA.

Oh, and BTW, looks nice. What is the width and offset and tire size?

the tires are 205/50/16. The wheels are 16x7 not positive on the offset it was just whatever tireracks calculator picked. the only thing on the back/inside of the wheel was a quality control sticker and a number 72 stamped on the back of it. The rpf1s are highly regarded for how light/strong they are so I can imagine they will take whatever weight the Yaris suspension can handle. If you are lowered like I am I would recommend going with a slightly thinner tire because the only rubbing I have is when the wheel is cranked all the way.

Thanks!

I am actually looking for 16inch wheels for my IS300. I believe its curb weight is 3,400lbs, quite a bit more than a Yaris. I am just tired of the low profile tire look. To me, 50 series tires are low enough; mainly because I like the slight "poofiness" of the sidewalls with a slightly higher profile; Stock IS300 tires are 215/45-17 and I want to go to 225/50-16.

I has hoping there might be a casting that says, "xxx kg" where xxx = about 600.

How much is your car lowered and with what setup? It looks like the perfect setup I am thinking of.

Oh well. I really appreciate that you took the time to look anyway!

its dropped on tanabe df210 springs. I believe its like a 2 inch drop all around. when I bought the car it had 215./45/17s which were awful and rubbed if I ran over a stick.

Are the fenders rolled or shaved or modified in any other way? I've been thinking of going 16" as well...

rear fenders are rolled and rear wheel well liners are removed. With a slightly thinner tire you would probably be fine.
