I keep seeing these wheels, and I have no idea if this particular style has a name. Of course, now that I'm looking for pictures I am having trouble finding man, but they are usually fairly small in diameter, have a wide treadwidth, and the sidewall seems..out from the tire.

Like these

Or a better example

I've seen them on Starlets too. Anyway I was wondering if they were called something specific, and if anyone has tried em on a Yaris.

Pure JDM hotness :drool:

BTW can you post a full-on view of the rims? It would make it easier to identify

Password JDM makes a 13x8 V2 wheel. I just ordered a pair to test for fitment. They will look something like that.

Basically that's a super low offset so the wheel "pokes" a lot.

Well both of those are images I found online, I was just wondering if they were special or something. Garm, you should get some pictures of those when you test them.

Isnt the Tire being stretched to look like that?

as you can tell, they have even larger fenders. If they didn't you would see the incredible length the wheels stick out ;D like 50-60%. They look sick and handle amazing, but you have no travel at all. and yes the bottom is slightly stretched and top is a bit more, but you don't need to stretch em to achieve the real effect. So you better have the suspension to go with it. But it sure looks badass.

:w00t:I love poke like that but sill don't see it having a place on a daily driver, It really takes a built car with amazing suspension to pull that look off right.

mojoyaris had Lenso 13x7.5 on his Yaris in this thread (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20376)
I think Rota still makes 13x8? The rest would be custom

Those on a yaris while making it look like a go cart would be worth it because it would literally drive like one.
