*sigh* I really need to drop my yaris and get some tint. Looks good so far, any ideas for rims yet?

[tacsniper]

white rules!

[BrazdonW]

for wheels i want to do the axis og-san black center 15's
i know everyone says go bigger but i really like the way the yaris looks with some tire on it
the car is bubbly and i think it works well with it.
ill see if i can find a picture of the wheels i want :)

[Astroman]

I agree, the Yaris does look good with some tire. I went with 17s because 18 or more was just too much rim. I probably would have been happy with 16s as well, but I got a killer deal that I couldn't pass up.

[BrazdonW]

they look just like this but the center color is black

those don't look bad either though :)

I think those wheels are awesome! They'll look great on your Yaris.

Personally, I would go with the colour in the photo, NOT black!

Black is way overdone, and so NOT Japanese.

BTW, what's the rim width and offset, and what size tires are you thinking about going with?

[BrazdonW]

black is overdone, thats a good point
the wheels were made for xa,xb,yaris lb by axis
i haven't looked up offsets because thats how i saw it advertised in a magazine
i do know the wheel is 7" wide
as far as tires i've always liked kumho tires
so im going to get them again
i had a set on my old car and they lasted forever and stuck to the road like glue ;)
i will probably get the equivalent size of what it would be now with those wheels on
i like the size of the overall wheel/tire as it is now
ill have research actual sizes more :)

Nice, I never get sick of looking at Yaris pics :biggrin:

[BrazdonW]

yeah lol
i spend waaaaaaaaay to much time looking at pictures on this site

[brickhardmeat]

I don't like black with a polished lip very often but walter has a set of konig remembers that are black with a polish lip and they are rad. He was trying to sell them too. You may get an excellent deal already wrapped in rubber. Just a thought.:thumbsup:

[BrazdonW]

also a very good idea lol
unfortunately i need to slow down on my spending so i don't get into more debt haha
thanks for the heads up though :)

[eijikikimaru]

I like white on white/gold rims!

Don't like white w/ black rims unless they're trying for the panda look.

[kimona]

Okay, I looked up the Axis website, and sure enough those wheels are 15x7's with an ET35, and they cost $150 each!

Well, they're not cheap, but afterall they are nice wheels.

The colour you posted is graphite, which is the way I'd go with your white HB.

I see the Axis website states they fit the Yaris. I only reiterate this because a 35mm offset is rather low for the Yaris up front. Perhaps other Yarisworld members might like to comment.

I'll post a better reply later on ET35 for the Yaris.

[BrazdonW]

hmmmm well any information is greatly appreciated :)

[kimona]

Okay. Well, with a 35mm offset and 205's, for example, you'd be sticking out up front.

With a lowered Yaris, other members have had rubbing problems running ET38 and 205's up front.

With a 15x7, I wouldn't run anything less than ET40 with 205's up front; otherwise, you're likely to have a rubbing problem.

I'd prefer to run 15x6.5's (or maybe 15x7's) with ET40 to 45mm. That way, you could run 205's without problems.

I know you like those Axis wheels, and I don't profess to know more than the distributor, but do your homework before you jump on them.

I like mesh wheels as well; they are very Japanese. (Of course, they "borrowed" them from the Europeans and did what they do best... made them even better in quality and design).

Unfortunately, there aren't many mesh wheels available aftermarket anymore. Americans seems to have lost interest in that design.

If you decide to go with the Axis wheels... good luck, and let us all know how they worked out for you.

If not, then I can point you in the direction of other readily available mesh wheels that may fit a little better on your Yaris.

[kimona]

BTW, it would be nice to somehow transfer this thread to the "wheels, tires, and suspension forum" so other members could comment.

[brickhardmeat]

there are some mesh wheels out there, rota makes a couple of styles but they are only available in 18's I think

check out this thread

[BrazdonW]

wow
thanks for all the info guys
i really do appreciate it :)
i'll take all the sizing differences into consideration when making a final decision!

does anyone have any information on custom making a K&N intake like the one on the tein yaris?

[Chupacabra]

I was considering those exact wheels. Is it "for sure" that they will rub with DF210's? I love the look but don't want any part of rubbing. I understand that ET40 would be optimal for a 7" wide wheel but I really like these! Any more insight would be great!

[marlondog]

I was also thinking of starting a thread with photos of all the different things we have done to our cars. The only problem is that I wasn't able to upload any of the photos. Anyone else having this problem?

[cali yaris]

Black is way overdone, and so NOT Japanese.

No it isn't. :biggrin:

[BrazdonW]

[tuckevalastin]

[BrazdonW]
