just temporarily until i can afford wheels down the road?
yay or nay?

[RogueYaris]

[Blenjar]

a little darker..imo

yay

IMO the Yaris 15" hub caps look pretty darn good. They fill up the wheel well nicely and a good design. I just wish the rear wheel had more offset.

[BrazdonW]

i agree a little darker
it was my first shot at it
i don't want them pushing pewter either though
ill have to take some time picking the color i suppose
i'm thinking i will do it
i'll have to find another set of hubcaps though
just in case
know anyone wanting to get ride of theirs?

[BrazdonW]

more offset would be nice but i'm sure they were just looking out for the average joe who needs tires rotated and junk without dismounting

Trash the hubcaps! Buy bronze wheels when you can afford them.:thumbsup:

[BrazdonW]

i disagree with trashing the hubcaps lol
i think they look good
i've seen one to many white yaris hatchbacks with no hubcaps to last me a lifetime anyways lol
im gonna get wheels down the road but i'm looking for a temporary solution to me need to mod my wheels =)

[smokinyaris]

why bother even painting hub caps when your going to get wheels in time.....imo

[brickhardmeat]

get some beauty rings and center caps or baby moons or something...

I just HATE hubcaps. If you like them and want to paint them bronze go for it.

Toyota did a good job with the 15" covers. They could've done the plain silver route but instead used a darker tint silver metallic... a real nice touch. It works well with the lug nut caps and chrome center logo. Normally at this price point you expect a molded in logo and hiddened lug nuts which can look real cheep... like the *cough* Fit *cough*

[BrazdonW]

valid point smokinyaris
but i i dont like silver much so id like to eliminate it

brickhardmeat: what in the world are beauty rings? (pardon my ignorance) or baby moons?

[BrazdonW]

i agree mead

The chrome ring and cap combo look sweet, someone should sell that as a kit.

[BrazdonW]

ill ponder the rings
i like the way they look
gives it a widened steelie look
any idea on cost?

Lowe's carrys a simulated rust, in a spray paint. It would be different..kinda techno meets rusted roadster!

As soon as I knock off the local 7-11 I am going to get a big-ass wing for the trunk and sum ultra shiny wheels for my hooptie,...boy!:wink:

In general, me too. Some are okay. I especially hate it when people lose 1, then leave 3 wheels with hubcaps and one without. The yaris YR has ugly hubcaps (3 sets of 2 spokes), the yaris YRS is a bit better (8 equally spaced spokes - the OP's hubcaps). Definitely spray them bronze, but also try to get some proper wheels later on.
