Last question before I order, I promise.....

[thomasward00]

Well the choice has been finally narrowed down to these two, I'll be getting 205/50/16 tires, this is going on my silver sedan and will be unlowered. Honest opinions would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance, i'll post pics once they come in.

#1

#2 looks sexy

#1
I agree.
Definitely post pics when this is done!

[07typeS]

#1....

are you sure your not going to drop it?? even some trd's??

[brickhardmeat]

#1 + lowered:smile:

with the money you would save getting number one over number two you can get a set of megan racing springs and the car would look great!

I'd actually suggest doing this and going with #1 in a 15 inch wheel 205/55/15 with 1.5 drop on the megans you'd save money and be looking real good.

#2, it lookey very nice

[PetersRedYaris]

I would like #2 better if you were getting 17's or 18's, but in a 16 inch wheel, I think #1 will look better. $85 a wheel is nice too.

I agree!

[thomasward00]

I would be going with 17's, but without lowering the car it would look retarted with a huge gap between the rire and wheel well, also if I lived in California with perfect roads that would be one thing, but I live in New Orleans which is pothole heaven, what do you expect from a 300 year old city. If a person drives slow and careful are 17's safe with the thinner tires, I don't want bent rims in 2 months. That big gap bothers me also....

#2.

[ToTo]

#2 and lowered!!!!!!!!!!

[Yaris Revenge]

#1 FTW!!!!!

Looks better, AND cheaper! Can't beat that!

#2 looks like something you'd find on a Latino-inspired Honda, with the teenie-tiny whitewalls sticking way out from beneath the fenders.... as close as you can get to wire spokes without having wire spokes. :thumbdown:

#1. No question.

agreed... #2 looks a lot like the OZ Superturismos, but in 16" and silver, nah... in white, maybe, yeah...

[07typeS]

HA! what perfect roads?

[nsmitchell]

#1

[contraband831]

#1 if you are getting 16"
#2 would look good if you get them in 18"
but whichever wheel you pick LOWERED would make it look better!

[thomasward00]

Next Question, which offset should I get for 16x7 with a stock ride height.

[thomasward00]

HA! what perfect roads?

Trust me, I went my first year to college in San Diego and my Fiance lives in the Bay Area, California as a whole has very good roads. About the only states that I can say have better roads are Texas and Mississippi. New Orleans has bad roads, not Wash D.C. or Philly bad but bad.

[Vanderkitten]

#2 will look larger than #1 in the same size... since the blades go all the way to the rim.

#1 is similar to the Weapon, which we run in 17" http://a124.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/45/l_0daaf45a91e6d87adc084f496bfc068b.jpg

I wish 17's didn't look stupid on these cars without lowering them, which I want to stay away from.

[whitehotmr2]

#2

[brickhardmeat]

Why do you not want to lower the car?:confused:

[Sabretooth]

I wanted to buy #2 once before, and I decided to change my mind on a more cheaper rim, ICW Racing has a good selection, check them out.

[kimona]

Well, opinions seem to differ here.

I like #2 much better, and it will look bigger than #1 because of the design.

If you're not lowering the car, then on a 16x7 I would go with as close to a 45mm offset as possible. I see that #2 is 42mm and #1 is 40mm. Not a big diference.

I think I've seen a similar wheel to #2 on a silver Yaris Hatchback somewhere on this forum.

I'll try to find it for you.

If you're buying wheels/tires from discount tire, don't forget to email them as a new customer and get your $25 promo coupon. Also, you can get no interest financing and get a $50 rebate. And, the Kumho tires currently have a $40 rebate.

BTW, I'm getting new wheels/tires as well, and I won't be lowering my car. I'm going with a 16x7 ET45mm and 205/50/16 Kumho AST's.

Here we go... I found it. Hope this helps with your decision.

That looks pretty good....

[Vanderkitten]

I think #2 looks Euro, and #1 looks Japanese. I considered wheels like #2, but they were heavier than what I wanted to run. The upside, either way your car will look great!!:thumbup:

Here's what the car looks like, not lowered w/ 17's ... keep in mind, you can get some more conservative springs that lower the car 25mm or so... my car is 2.0" lower.

[thomasward00]

I think i'm going with the #2 in 16x7 with 205/50/16's It seems like everyone has the japanese style or variation there of. I like a more mature look, but either way it should be a huge advantage over the stock steelies and hub caps.

I want to thank everyone here for their input and i'll post pictures once I have them.

[thomasward00]

Should I go with Silver or Gunmetal? My car is silver but I have dark tint and an autobra.

[RogueYaris]

if money is not a big concern to you then i would go with #2, otherwise #1 ftw. i don't mind the euro look, probably what i will be going with when it comes time to get rims.

[thomasward00]

Money is not an issue, granted I don't want to put 200 dollar rims on a yaris but 115 each is not bad, with kuhmo tires they are quoting me like 775.00 shipped which isn't bad in my opinion.

gunmetal FTW :thumbsup:

[eTiMaGo]

gunmetal!

[Violin]

I like #2 best. Are you sure the offset will work with the Yaris?
