Well Discount Tire does not have any in stock and back order at least three months. The other places I called off ebay did not have any in stock either. So I wait or try to find another light wieght rim that is 15x5.5 to 15x6.5 for around 500 dollars.

How about here (http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/21-1045.html)?

You could also send "33OH" a PM. He is a member here and he might be able to get you some good deals.

Another option is to PM "cali yaris". He might be able to get you a good price as well.

I think I got some finally. Unless of course today they call back and say sorry we really did not have any like we thought. I will see. Thank you Yarisugi for the suggestions.

pick up the phone and call both of these. They will both have good lightweight options that will fit whatever budget you have.

So I tried carid.com and they said they had a set of Konig Helium and I ordered them on 4/30. They were to ship on 5/10. Finally when time came on 5/15 they call me and say Konig is all out and now will be 60 days out. I will look into the suggestions you guys gave in the next few days. Thank you again.

Enkei recently came out with the Compe.

It's a retro 1960's racing wheel.

Bean Garage has 15x7 4x100 +38's for $612 free shipping and no sales tax. I have a set of these in 16x7 5x114.3 arriving tomorrow for my truck. I think they look really cool. :smile:

^ Unfortunate that I didn't get the chance to earn your business, tooter. I can always beat Bean Garage, and the built-in shipping charge wouldn't have been there either.

$100 less at TireRack for the 15x7, and I can usually beat THEIR prices too.

The 15x7 is over 16 pounds, and the 16x7 is nearly 19 pounds. That is a very heavy wheel on the Yaris.

@ Foot: happy to see if I can get you the Heliums you really want. :thumbsup:

It was just an alternative suggestion. I saw this new style while looking for similar 8 spoked wheels as I have on my Yaris. Rota doesn't make that size in the 8 spoke RB. And I didn't buy from Bean Garage as they don't have 16x7 5x114.3's. A seller was running a sale on ebay, so I got a set of 16x7's for $600 free shipping no sales tax. The 15x7 4x100 +38 Enkei Compes are $564 a set free shipping no sales tax.

$100 less at TireRack for the 15x7, and I can usually beat THEIR prices too.

You must be referring to Konigs as Tire Rack doesn't carry Enkeis.

It is. That's why the 16x7's are going on my truck... not on my Yaris. :wink:

Sure they do. All four series:

When Enkei didn't show up on the pull down menu I didn't look any further. I did find the Compe now. There are no posted prices and I won't be asking since I already bought from someone else. That would be bad form. :wink:

^ They are for sale -- the prices come up as soon as you enter your vehicle. :wink:
15x7 is $512 a set, and I think the 16x7 is $574 (4x100 bolt pattern)

Ok, I see how that works now. :smile:

That's pretty close... Tire Rack's price was $628. I paid $601.

Awesome. I can beat both of those prices. :thumbsup:

Relax, Garm... it's after the fact. I already bought from someone else. But see if you can help Foot. :thumbsup:

He he you guys are hijackers... Anyway... My Pro Contact tires are rated for 5.5 to 6.5 inch width. Which makes the 15X7 not possible for me. My tires only have 10k miles and are holding up much better than OEM. The rims I want are 15x5.5 to 15X6.5 weighing at or less than 12 lbs. Also I would like them to be silver or black. Which limits my selection. The Heliums are not available thru the manufacturer at this time. I will call you guys at MI soon. I could get the Mini's but the manufacturer wants about 750.. dollars for the set. I was hoping to get something around 400 to 500 dollars then cost 110 to have them mounted and balanced.

I'm relaxed. I'm happy to inform the community when I have better prices than a competitor. You support that notion, of course. :smile:

@ Foot: Happy to help find you a great set of wheels within your search criteria.

What size are your tires?

Tires are 185/60 R15 LRR which are by Tirerack rated for rim width 5-6.5". And I do not like the stretch look.

I don't either... and run 195/60's on 15x7's. It makes perfect sense why you don't want 7's with those tires. You don't want it to look like a lowrider. :wink:
