Port A Walls - Toyota Yaris Forums

Anyone tired adding whitewalls? The ol dork is putting whitewalls on my black liftback. Pictures will be posted. The look reminds me of my '51 aircooled split window. Once a dork.....

Whats old is new again.

In Australia, quite a lot of showcars have VERY thin white walls on 19" rims ... not quite the same as chubby tyres with 2" port-a-walls on beetles :)

Unless our stock steel 15" wheels are way different then what Scion's 15" wheels are, YES they will fit. I would think they would be the same, maybe not.

Again, many are rockin' this look over on the ScionLife forums... SEARCH.

Have you ever installed baby moons on a rim or seen a rim they fit on? If you look at BABY MOONS they have a set of tabs like teeth to hold in the formed ridge in the rim. The 15" on a Yaris LB do NOT have a lip as on GM or Ford rims or VW rims I've had BABY moons on. All I could find on scionlife were FULL moons like your getting from me! LOL

Ill have to do the SEARCHING now I guess.. I guess I must have imagined all those xB's with them.

Most of what I have seen guys post were the stainless covers, chrome covers, and small and large white walls.

Others have posted the beauty rings, and center chrome dust caps...

Maybe the problem is everyone calling them "baby moons," when there are not true MoonEye's Baby Moon's!

PAINTED on whitewalls looks REALLLY cheaply done!

tomjasz · 07-26-2006, 09:01 PM

That's correct! Manmaster posted full caps. I took your advise and did an exhaustive search of scionlife. There is a clip option similar to VW mods but my measurements indicate that it doesn't work as well with my OEM rims.

Unlike a lot of posters I have a limit as to what mods I'll do on a 12K car. After all I bought it because it was 1/3 of the cost of my Tundra TRD crew cab.

I do enjot your posts and appreciate your mod pictures.
