Hey Yachi!!

Hey,

I was just wondering what type of wheel size is most commonly used in Japan for the Vitz? I've got some input from other people here at Yaris world but I was just wondering what the consensus is over there.

Thanks!

When placing an order as a grade and an option, a steering gear changes with tire sizes.

Vitz RS is 5.5m in the minimum turning radius. That is, even if it turns a handle, a wheel seldom moves.

It will surely differ from Vitz and Yaris.

The wheel size generally used by Vitz is 16 or 17 inches.7J It is offset +40~48.

In Japan, there is no size of the PCD100 wheel hole 4 not much as wheel size becomes large. Therefore, since goods are restricted, it becomes difficult to look for a favorite wheel.

Very interesting, thanks for the help Yachi, and thanks for the link Master....

Hmm so what do you guys think about the Work Emotion CR Kai in the machined chrome on a white Yaris,.. too much??? A lot of the Yaris that I've seen coming from Japan have machined chrome... I think its a killer look!!

machined silver is alright. i'm not that big a fan of the kai. i think bronze or gunmetal looks best on white.

Well I like the bronze but I'm just thinking that it'd be nice to be current with the look... The blitz vitz, and alot of the D1 cars seem to be rocking this machined chrome look..

CR kai is popular also in Japan.

The wheel of chromium plating to Vitz matches well.

It seems that the people which come to my homepage like VOLK RACING. It is lightweight and cool.

Hmm which do you prefer? The Ray's Ggames 77W or The Work's Emotion CR Kai?? I think that I will get the high polish/machines chrome no matter which wheel I select. Although the polish lip on the Ggames looks quite nice to... 77W Vaio RMC.

skinny spoked wheels would look strange on the yaris. i don't know for sure but it's just a hunch.

i'd go with the works.

Yeah 17's... after a lot of debating, I think that it would be the best fit for the Yaris.
