WTB: OEM 15" (7 spoke) Alloy Wheels

[omendt]

I think I am going to bite on this deal. Has anyone else ordered these yet? How are they?

[Morgan]

I have these wheels and have been thinking about getting new wheels.... I guess if anyone is interested in them, send me a pm - I have 5 total but 1 is pretty damaged - the 4 on the car have 205-50-15 General Exclaim UHPs with lots of life left

I can send pics, but wont bother til I get a pm

I ended up finding a used set for a great price. For anyone considering them and wondering how they look on a Yaris, check out my garage you can see them on mine.

Those look sharp on your car! I pulled the trigger and bought a set of these. I am going to install them sometime next week. I will take pictures and post them in my garage once I am done. I have been meaning to take pictures of the interior to post to.

they certainly do look good

I will post some pics this weekend of the final product. So far this switch over has been less than enjoyable upgrade.

So when I placed the order, I was geeked to get these on. I get a call from Town and Country and they informed me that the shipping charged online was incorrect, and it would be an additional $45.00 to ship the rims (worked out to be about $20 an alloy to ship). I agreed, but was not happy. I kept telling myself that these are extremely discounted and it was no biggy.

I was able to get them over the weekend and put them on today. When I opened the one box, the one rim had some pretty bad damage all around the rim.

I contacted them today and they are sending me out another one, but now I am going to have to pay more money just to transfer one tire to the new rim (I didn't want to have a mismatch for a week).

So when all is said and done, I will definately post some pics of the wheels, along with all of the other fun tweeks I have done by using this forum.

Ugh, that's to bad. Well, it's a super good price even with the extra cost I guess, and I do love the look of these rims.

they're $75 right now on the website. even though they're heavier(and recently more expensive) i like the look and will probably buy a set to mount to some winter tires i'm looking at. i've heard they're not tpms-compatible, but since i'm using them for winters i don't care too much(they'll only be on the car 3-4 months a year).

BS


My 17 lb scion rims (almost the same as these) didn't impact mpg at all. And they won't fall apart when I hit a pot hole like a 12 lb wheel will.

Everybody's missing the TPMS issue. It won't work with the O7 wheels, and you'll either have to disable or look at MIL's all day.

I have a set of the rims pictured by the OP. Got them from an outfit in California off of eBay for $250 shipped. These were take-offs but didn't have a single scratch on them. My factory TPMS modules from the original steel wheels fit perfectly. I was able to buy new Toyota branded hubcovers. I like the look of them on my 2010 HB....
