So I finally got a set of new wheels.

Enkei J10 17" +42mm wrapped in Falken ziex-912 205/40/17.

Stock 15" steelies: 30lbs

J10 17": 41lbs

They're 10lbs heavier than the stock steelies. I havent gone for a test drive yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll feel a difference. I dont really care about weight anymore, I dont ever plan on racing my yaris. Heres a pic of them on my yaris sportin the YW vinyl :drool:. More pix later, its really bright outside so this pic came out a little weird..

Hehe thanks. Yeah I love black+silver lip and this had a good number of spokes. This pic doesnt really do them justice though.

BTW do I fill up my tires by the PSI on the side of new ones?

Personally, I split it. My low-profile tires say 44. Car says 32. I fill them up to 38-40.

I'm not exactly sure what the right answer for that is.

Well they say 50psi, I checked them and they're at 45psi. Hrm. My camera died so no more pictures till probably tomorrow.

The tyre sidewall indicates maximum air pressure. Don't fill your tyres to maximum.

BTW, those wheels look darn nice.

Updated with a few more pix. The camera battery fell out of the charger like not too long after I put it in so I only could take a few snapshots. I need to find a good spot somewhere for a good photo shoot.

Hehe yeah I'll stop by. I'll have to leave a little early cause I got work later that night.

eii, just noticed you live in Long Beach. I used to live on 2nd St., Belmont Shore. Then I moved to dvlnblkdrs neck of the woods, Huntington Beach (Magnolia and Atlanta).

Oh you told me about that before, but I think my name on the forums were different back then.

Just megan lowering springs. I plan on doing more suspension upgrades in the coming months.

The whole wheel look finally came together. Heres some pix of it with stock springs, lowered, and then lowered with the new wheels. A helluva change!

Looks very nice, I'm looking to go with the silver set of J10s, same sizing as well. I'm glad you posted up before and after pics, I'm getting ready to order some Tein springs.

Nice work once again.
