no, i havent made it out to any echo meets. feel like i am betraying my mr2 club

i have a 5 dr blazing blue auto, basic LE trim. im out of town til wednesday, but shoot me a pm and we can meet up. i LOVE the lowering springs and fatter tires, both for looks and for the increased handling capacity.

nice!

these'll look sweet on blazing blue as well

Lafiro · 07-08-2006, 12:16 PM

Ok, well my few questions.

Why hasn't anyone bought the 18 TRD's? Don't complain about the $1999~ pricetag. Just the reasons.

Also, doesn't it have to be 4 bolts, not five, as the picture of those greyish rims?

My last question, most important to me, since I have had my 07 Yaris Sedan, Pacific Blue for months now. What color rims should I get and what size, cause these 15inch steels are getting to me now, since summer is here.

Thanks!!!

For looks, the same applies.

If something else, then you can go with smaller wheels.

I'm prolly going with 14s.

actually... u probably don't wanna go over 17's... cuz the bigger the wheel, the more power it requires to get it moving.

silverRS · 07-08-2006, 08:53 PM

on the blue I would get Gunmetal or charcoal.....looks sweeeet on the blue

Alright, I was also told the same by a few others at my job. Alright, can any of you recommend any tire sizes, and rim sizes aswell please?

Thanks, again!

JIC you haven't picked them up yet, there's a set of 17" on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/17-FL...spagenameZWDVW

these woud look schweet

DARKYARIS · 10-31-2006, 12:15 AM

I went with the 17" Motegi and 205/40ZR 17 rubber...Still stock ride height.

pascal · 10-31-2006, 12:04 PM

Well i bought mine

take a look and let me know what you think

I ride 18s because bigger looks better

But i'am planning on getting some 16s to go on some trackdays evets

eTiMaGo · 10-31-2006, 09:36 PM

18" here too... Maybe they're a bit harder to get moving than the stock wheels, I can't really be sure, the stock ones didn't last long

But for style, you can't beat that. And like YarisPR said, it's not a bad idea to have a second set of small, lighter wheels if you plan to go to a track sometime. You'll get better performance and won't need to pay quite as much for new tires

Yarisik · 10-31-2006, 10:11 PM

I think 17s or 18s look good on the yaris because the body of the car is tall. It compliments the height of the car and it doesn't look too top heavy when you put smaller rims. But smaller rims are the best bet for this economical car. So you gotta ask yourself do you like show or go?

Galavoxx · 11-02-2006, 08:44 PM

I think the 17s look the business on the Yaris and if you get a good quality wheel, you wont have to worry about the bad streets of Toronto or the weight. I live in San Francisco and the streets are tore up. However, I have no worries about a bent wheel because I know I bought quality. That old saying: you get what you pay for, it's true. For a good set of 17s, you should pay at least $1500 US, just for the wheels. And spending more doesn't mean you're not going to bend a wheel if you hit a huge bump and your absorbers bottom. You still need to excercise caution, slow down for bumps. Of course slowing down isn't always an option and that's why you want a quality wheel. If you have to buy cheap wheels, it's a good idea to get something that looks a little more robust. Dont get some sparce looking spider-web string-cheese wheels. Get something with some beefy spokes that look like they structurally reinforce the wheel, because they probably do. There's so much cheap crap out there that looks good, it's tempting. Anyway, get the 17s.
