hey people!
i`ve got a question... i am going to get the Dotz Shuriken rims, which are 15"x6.5...how good would the 185/60/15 tires be for 6.5?

attached a picture of the rim and a little photoshop work to get an ideea!

185/60/15 can fit a rim from 4.5" to 7" very comfortably.

BTW, those wheels don't look quite as nice in a 4-bolt design.

thanks a lot!
i`m confused...i have so many ideeas about my future wheels, but i can't decide! i like the shurikens, but i would also like some black/red lip rims!
any suggestions for my 5dr lb?

i could get the yaris ts 17" rims, but the 205/45/17 tires are so expensive...

The only thing I'm afraid of is that black 15" rims may look smaller than they actually are...you know, black makes rims look smaller...
I'm interested in any 15" suggestions :biggrin:

Konig Zero: Black with red lip.

Konig Zero looks great, but the dealer I found in Romania only sells 17" and bigger Konig rims! I also like the Heliums, but shipping from the USA to Romania doubles the price of the rims!:iono:
I also have theese in mind...
1. Mak Fever5R White
2. Dezent Black Motion
3. Wolfrace AsiaTec Triad

I don't care for the white one; looks rather unbalanced with the 4-bolt pattern.

The last one is just too common for my taste; seems to be darned near everywhere.

The black one is actually very nice; I like mesh and the red trimmed lip.

Yep, that's a winner right there.

Here are some other rims that would fit my budget(~500$ for a 15" set)
The first one is my favourite!

I like the first best... especially because it's single drilled. I do like the last one as well, but it doesn't look as good as the Dezent mesh wheel you posted.

I am waiting for the price of the first one...they are not so popular; it's a company from Netherlands http://www.jaagrutieurope.com/wheels.php?cat_nr=1&alb_nr=20&img_nr=360 , and Kuro is a brand of Jaagruti

Yeah, I see the similarity, but it looks like a truck wheel, IMHO.

Those look very good in an 8-spoke. Now that I look at it more closely, they're split 4-spokes. I think they'll be great on your black Vitz.

Love them. I think that is a great choice. Very fond of the 8-spokes for our cars.
