A set of Rota RB's.

any opinions / advice? I dont know a whole lot about wheels....so it's all appreciated.

I think im gonna go with 16s?

quick PS of them on my car...

Yup. Classic Panasport design. I think they'll look outstanding in 15's or 16's.

Actually, classic Minilite design.

BrazdonW · 10-07-2009, 04:00 PM

i vote 15's :) but i am partial

Sabretooth · 10-07-2009, 04:07 PM

15s will over alot more tire selection if your looking to go with performance tires.

There are a lot of other tires, though ...

thebarber · 10-07-2009, 04:10 PM

16's

but get them in red

yaris-me · 10-08-2009, 01:59 AM

Nice.

lilredrocket · 10-08-2009, 10:48 AM

They will look great on your car

Mouse · 10-08-2009, 03:55 PM

They're heavy

Wow I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like this wheel design...

Kioshi · 10-08-2009, 10:53 PM

Nope, I dont either. But it depends on how people see things...

I'm not a fan of the chrome lip thing...maybe thats whats killing it for me~

Go w/ 16s, if you are tracking, go with 15s. Just pure style, go w/ 17s like the people in Japan.

AdeJong 03 · 10-09-2009, 03:43 AM

i think they look sick. here is an example of a properly fitted yaris with the same panasport style wheels. these are xxr though

Dang this post is back from the dead.

After seeing saggio and brazdons cars on xxrs I kinda forgot about the rotas. The lip on the xxr adds so much in my opinion.

I STILL haven't got any wheels at all though. All the money I had saved for them had to be spent on a new bumper and paint :(

oh well, start savin again....

severous01 · 10-09-2009, 02:15 PM

16's are a good size. tires are cheap, maintenance is easy, and just about any rinky dink tire shop can put them on since they're not 'low profile' tires.

you'll get a good balance of performance and ride quality....not losing too much quality and gaining a lot of performance. with 17's the car tends to get very rigid since the sidewalls dont flex and suspension takes all the bumps in.

IllusionX · 10-09-2009, 02:20 PM

You know... I think the mini cooper wheels would look really nice on the yaris.. hehe. or maybe not.
