[Tamago]

thoughts?

[Black Yaris]

15x9 with 275's FTW....

[staticorex]

So is this for the Miata or Yaris? :p

[Tamago]

So is this for the Miata or Yaris? :p

for this car:

[staticorex]

Wtf? :laugh:

[Tamago]

Wtf? :laugh:

is there a problem? do you have a choice between the two setups?

[staticorex]

Sorry It was just you're on a Yaris fourm asking about wheels that are on Miats for a scion. :laugh: Nothing wrong with it, it just threw me. :p I could give my opinion on the wheels but it would prolly be too uneducated on this topic so I'll leave it for the experts.

[Tamago]

15x9 with 275's FTW....

unfortunately this will be my street setup. i wish i could afford 275's :)

which one do you like aesthetically then :redface:

[staticorex]

Ha. hmmmm. I'm not sure. Kinda 6 of one half dozen of the other. But maybe the 1st. :iono:

[kngrsll]

i like the first personally

[LtNoogie]

I like the first one. There's a classic look to it. The second design I'm seeing on too many other brands. The question is whether the 30 offset will give you any problems.

[Bubbles]

I have ATS comp lites in gunmetal on my car and they look pretty good, so I say go with the ATS

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

2nd ones 1st picture

[firebob]

I would go with the second set. Duel drilled rims look as cheap as having hubcaps.

[Morgan]

2nd set looks much better, but if the world was ending the first sets not bad either... Oh and LOL at the title, make sure you get the right offset - you don't wanna sc/rub :wink:

[cali yaris]

I like theUL6 15 x 8, that's $636 for a set, nice. weight on that one? doesn't say on the website.

[Black Yaris]

unfortunately this will be my street setup. i wish i could afford 275's :)

then the ATS DTC 15X8 with some 225/50R15's

[Thirty-Nine]

ATS DTC--one of my favorite all-time wheels.

[EasyDriver]

I like the ones on the silver convertible the best.......

[PETERPOOP]

thoughts?

choose your own wheel.

[Tamago]

choose your own wheel.

GTFO

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I like the 1st set better.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

How about the Work Emotion CR Kai wheels?

http://www.workwheelsusa.com/media/gallery/10/191_full.jpg

[Tamago]

played out IMO. but nice looking xA there! i love the non-usdm bumpers

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Awww, they're one of my favorite wheels. hehe. I can't tell the difference between the xA and the iSt bumpers. I thought that pic just had a kit on it :iono:

[Yoda]

the second one

[1NZYaris1]

i like the 1st set up best :smile:.

[2006fronty]

6UL's or maybe some bronze RP-F1s

[Tamago]

Awww, they're one of my favorite wheels. hehe. I can't tell the difference between the xA and the iSt bumpers. I thought that pic just had a kit on it :iono:

it is a kit, but you can tell the car has non-usdm bumper beams. the car is shorter overall front to back. much cleaner look.


oh and on the RPF1's, if Enkei would grow some balls and build an actually aggressive wheel i'd buy them.. but 15X7 +35 at BEST just doesn't do anything for me, considering i'd be downgrading from my awesome +23 setup before :drool:

[CASTREX]

UL6 in bronze :thumbsup:

[Tamago]

well, after consideration of my current budget, i've gone with option 3..

15X8 +20 and 225 50 15

http://i44.tinypic.com/29uvjh1.jpg

should be here thursday or friday!

NICE! where'd you find that color and size?

[Tamago]

that color and size do not exist for sale anywhere.

www.tirerack.com sells the wheel (search by 1988 bmw 3series)

and home depot sells the paint

[aeipee13]

^ nice touch and thanks. I was searching under miatas and driving myself crazy. BMW was my next move, I swear.

you'll have a challenge getting a 15X8 +20 to fit on a yaris, but if you can do it, i applaud you sir.

[aeipee13]

I just spoke with tirerack they have a 15x7 et 25 that will work. Seriously, thanks. Tirerack's site is so lame when it comes to finding every size available. When I first saw the TRmotorsports i loved them but the ET42 was too high for me. I had no clue they even came in all these sizes.

Wait - are you dissing the Yaris or the color? yaris-me drives a meteorite metallic...

As for the wheels I think they look nice, but whats up with the dings all around your wheel wells?

[Tamago]

but whats up with the dings all around your wheel wells?

5 + years of autocross, swapping wheels, running too-wide tires, rubbing, chipping, peeling...


the car is ready for a makeover

if he meant TAXI he shouldn't have typed TAXI DRIVER.. but when your heart is all aflutter with love for the panda it's easy to mis-type i suppose :biggrin:
