nice rims!

but dude.... there are some kinds of ghosts with no faces standing behind your car :biggrin:

As for bigger wider wheels at the back, don't do it :wink:

That's only really useful for high powered rear wheel drive cars to get as much traction as possible. For our low powered front wheel drive cars, it's only gonna unbalance your handling. It looks great as it is :thumbsup:

I will go with 17s, Yaris is a 1.5L line-4 supcompact car, 18s are for full size cars, anything beyond 18s are for trucks and SUVs:cool:

Does my Yaris looks like a SUV??? or a Truck?? :biggrin:

[Yaris_PR]

Here in PR 18" rims are the smallest in our compact cars, right YarisPR?:biggrin:

[ChinoCharles]

Great, so there are a bunch of Yaris owners in PR trying their hardest to go slower. WAY TO SOIL OUR GOOD NA- oh wait, thats right, they're all slow.

[ASHRAF]

I think 18" will rub with tanabe springs

especially that I'm overweight hehehe

Probably I'll stay with this setup and find a nice body kit to go with it

thanx guys

i see the similarities, dont you?

[Yaris_PR]

Personally I don't like run and the truth is that the only good thing of a Yaris is the Toyota brand. I like the car, how it looks with mods like rims, spoilers, bodykits and many more, but we have to realize that is a slow car anyways. I really don't feel to much diference because I'am using ligth 18" rims to avoid problems and yes, I think the perfect match for a Yaris is 17" wheels. When a get a Yaris I should know that is a slow and cheap car , but an economical and convenient car, to me it's perfect like that :thumbup:

[Yaris_PR]

By the way I like your car like that ASHRAF :headbang:

[PetersRedYaris]

Keep your 17's, It looks great as is.

[aucorium]

stick to the 17's , its the best for the car without causing any headaches, whats even better is going for a nice lightweight rim , i got lightweight tenzo R's , and i have actually gained a bit better acceleration ,strange i know , seing as a wider tire should slow you down , but my rims are dam light , much lighter that the standard steel ones.

We are not trying to go slower you said it Yaris are already slow but we do go big on rims just for the looks and I really don't think 15, or 16s look better than 18s on a yaris. I ride 18'' and i'am still waiting for a yaris / scion Xa Xb/ echo that can beat me, and they ride the silly looking 14 or 15s(like yours)
:thumbsup:

[ChinoCharles]

Ahah.

You buy rims that make you slower, then you try to say you're faster than comparable cars on regular rims? Sounds like your ego got boosted while racing some poor ass drivers.

And you know, I don't need big rims to compensate for my small... um, car.

:wink: :wink: :wink:

:wink: :wink: :wink:

I'am trying to think if yesterdays 6 drivers are all that bad .. hmm seems imposible.

anyways

Here's the deal with 18's You can launch at 4,000 rpm and the wheels spin is just minimum The grip gets down easy and you don't waste any time while 14's and 15's are screaming and getting no grip

And back to the topic

I'll go with 17's because its just better for daily driving and potholes :thumbsup:
Yesterday I saw it while having some fun with a Yaris Liftback and a Echo.

Dude no need to post your moms SUV :biggrin:

I was wondering what rims do u have?

Sorry to post so much but I have to defend people who like big rims



If thats true I have a full size car or an SUV.....
But sincerly dude I prefer to have an "SUV" than a Yaris with orthopedic shoes.. sorry rims :biggrin:

[ASHRAF]

the 18's look awesome

but I think I'll just stick to my 17's

thanx for the help

[gr8yaris]

TRD set-up goes for the 18" with 215/35-18 tires.
But I'd go for 17s with 205/40-17 because, there is a HUGE jump of price difference between the 17's and 18's.
The benefit of "effective function" can not justify spending that difference in dollars.
Here's a pic of my 17" set.

Part of it is because there is more rubber in contact with the road. The other part is that there is more rotating mass (metal is denser than rubber) with 18s so more horsepower is used to spin the wheels into motion.

That is the most funniest thing I've ever heard. Sure. maybe you might not wheel spin, whilst at the same time give hell to the clutch but once the 14" and 15" equipped cars get traction.. which is very easy to do by modulating the power, it's bye bye.

And we haven't even talked about the handling.

All show, no go, too slow.

Big rims on a econocar is retarded. Way to make your car ridiculously slower. That makes a tremendous negative impact on low torque, light cars. And it's downright comical how you talk about "racing" other vehicles. What? a John Deere? or a radio flyer? That's about your car's range.

Mine isn't slower than other yaris(they all are slow) And torque? u sure don't know where I live and the car works just fine in hills and in every aspect. And "racing" yes I can race cars in my range. You can race everything , don't u guys in the US race lawnmowers (some john deeres)? and wood cars downhill? (now thats funny) Is the same crap but slower... racing is racing.

by the way if there is a place where its stated that "big rims" are just for non- economic cars please let me know. :thumbsup:

[ChinoCharles]

Yeah, we race soap box cars... I race them in my car, and when they beat me down the hill I call a rematch and race them to the top. Then I stare down in all my glory. I never lose the race to the top.

And hey, the tractor races are hilarious. Don't knock it until you've watched it wasted.
