SSR Type C for Yaris?

[Nagoya_TRD.]

I am posting this on behalf of a friend. He owns a white yaris 3 door liftback and is wondering opinions on SSR Type Cs. Obviously, i like them and i told him that. But, we wanted a more general forum opinon on them.

He is not really a huge Rota/knockoff wheel fan. He would like a quality, lightweight wheel and he is not extremely stingy with cash when it comes to quality products.

Thank you all for your time.

I am a function over form type of guy usually, but these fulfill both of those needs. For race rims they are extremely lightweight, and look good doing it.
WIN-WIN to me.

^^ sums it up pretty well. 9.1 pounds for 15x6.5 or 12 pounds in a 16x7 and they look amazing.

Those are pretty much my dream wheels

I have some in stock, just so you know. 16x7, Type F in silver or black and one set of Type C in gunmetal.

and one set of Type C in gunmetal.

:cry:

I'll get a microimage tattoo on my forehead for them?

never seen that before.....

Cali, I keep trying to get ahold of you on AOL for the past week or so, but everytime I message you, you just keep logging off :(

[cali yaris]

blazin, that looks hot.

detroiter, never got a message!

the only thing that sucks about the SSR Type-C's is if you lower the car with 205mm width tires, it'll probably rub. 195 lowered or 205 not-lowered is fine though. 205 lowered with a tiny bit of camber would probably work too. This rubbing issue is the only reason I didn't buy them. Otherwise they're the perfect wheel. So ridiculously light and the style matches the car pretty well IMO.

I have 205mm on my type C's lowered with NF210's and don't rub at all.

[cali yaris]

^ Neither did I (BF Goodrich 205/50/16) with DF210's, nor do I rub with Type F's.

Split, what brand of tire did you have rubbing with? And yes, as you mention, camber is very easy to adjust to eliminate rubbing.

[detroiter]

That's strange, I've been sending you a message on aol for a while and nobody ever replies or will just log off lol. I'll try it again

I will refer my friend to you if he decides to go with those. :thumbup:

[cali yaris]

detroiter, I use Gmail, and not actually AOL, maybe that is causing our problem.

I have type Cs, dropped on coilovers with 205s and I dont rub at all.

Where did you get your false info from?

[elmo]

[gmodder]

The type c's wouldnt rub with TRD springs in 17" model with 205/40/17 tires would they....Thinking about getting away from bling for awhile...

i got this info from Garm, the God of yarisworld himself.

[detroiter]

Hey Cali, is someone using your id then "McrImg"? I swear that is the aol name I got off of your messenger link.

[PETERPOOP]

Well that is strange because he posted in this thread saying it doesn't rub. lol. Maybe he told you this before he actually had the wheels on himself? Now i'm confused. :iono:

Whomever has nice pictures of Yaris' on Type Cs, please post them up, would be a good reference point.

have a side shot? did you need a rear spacer?

[PETERPOOP]

It could definately use a rear spacer,but that is something last on my list.

Here is a side shot picture of them when they were on Garm's car:
