Going to pick up some new wheels, help me with ideas!

[narly charley]

Alrighty guys. I'm going to be selling my Toyota pickup and getting some wheels. Right now my 2010 Yaris is BONE stock. I don't plan on doing ANYTHING really crazy to it, I just want to buy some new wheels to make it look bearable. I'll be running on the OEM suspension because I don't feel like lowering it with the amount of snow that we get.

I don't like black wheels, so that's completely out of the question. I was playing with what size I would like. I'm not exactly sure what size wheels look best on a factory height. I was thinking about going with a 16" wheel, nothing crazy.

I'm also playing with the idea of getting a set of wheels on craigslist... I live about 30 minutes from Chicago, so I have quite a variety of CL wheels/tires.

I ALSO live about an hour or so away from South Bend, where the main Tire Rack place is...

Throw some ideas at me guys, thanks!!!

Hey Charley, :smile:

I agree. Black wheels on a white car are too much contrast. Silver is more compatable...

These Rota reproductions of 1960's Panasport wheels are my all time favorites. :thumbsup:

I also run 15" and 195/60's so that the odometer would retain its accuracy for gas mileage computations. Different size wheels and tires can yield a wild variety of mileage readings.

Stock height is also good for the rural area I live in, with some rough dirt roads and seasonal flooding.

GOOOOD those wheels are the sickness :headbang:


Some one is selling some here in Houston for a fair price...

Buy the lightest wheels you can afford. You wont regret it.

^YEP. Enkei RPF1's all the way. Best bang for the buck and around 8-9lbs...

Personally I prefer a contrast color with a white backdrop (white car)

I've had success ( I feel) with Bronze and Gunmetal

I've never had silver or light colored wheels on a white car because I personally feel it leads to being a little bit washed out looking

Here are my suggestions (for Polar white) (both on my car)

(both happen to be very light for 16" with the Konigs being approx 14 Lbs? and the SSR's being 11 Lbs)

white car is good with any color !

if you can find the racing hart CP035, you will love them ...super light yet strong. the next to that is the OZ Racing Superleggera , which I happen to have 2 sets ...One in candy lime green and another one will soon to be in candy teal :P

I really like how yours looks. I know it won't be as low, but it will still make it look decent...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! :rolleyes:

[ilikerice]

its probably just me, but I think green rims on a white car just looks killer.

+1 on this, but with green being my favorite color, i think it looks good with anything

[FHT_Racing]

I may have some bronze WORK Kai's up for sale soon...

[FHT_Racing]

Grab some 16x7" matte black Enkei RPF1's from the Tire Rack store. They will have them in stock and will be a great price if picked up.

[why?]

Volk Racing for the lightness. Or Rota's for some wild colors.
