Just curious to see if anyone is running a four-spoke wheel such as the SSR Type X or Rota Auto X on a Yaris?

I really like the SSR Type X:

And SSR MKII:

I've always loved the old school Tom's wheels! I'd love to find a clean set of these:

I know, they're not really 4-spokes but you gotta love the Starsharks! :tongue:

I actually raised the car up that day for the track. It's usually a good :biggrin: 15mm lower up front and 30mm lower in the back. I'll need to raise it back up again to fit the kit though.

Gotta love the old school wheels :thumbsup:

Here's one for Brick:

You can run no brakes and no one will ever know :tongue:

Those are hawt but the starsharks take the cake.

How much heigth adjustability do you have with the Cusco Coilovers?

Sharks are definitely where it's at!

The Cuscos wouldn't go that low up front, you could dump the rear though.

I'm actually running the SK coilovers for a while now, the front can go as low as you want (until the oil pan is on the ground). In the rear, you need to change the spring for a shorter one and remove the adjuster to get any lower than where the car is in the above pic.

And that is very low.

03ZZ3 - looks good -- I've always been a fan of your wheels. I also have at thing for four-spoke wheels.

Currently, I have a set of Rays Texan Shotguns on my xB.

I don't know if they'd look good on a Yaris, though (they're currently off my xB, though as I'm parting it out).

Very nice! I think they'd actually look great on the Yaris!! Why not give it a try? and make sure to take some pics :wink:

They look good with the colored rings on the center :smile:

Are yours the 15x5 +32? If so, what size tires and spacers are you running?

Mine are 16x7 +37 with 205/50/16 tires. I am running a 15mm rear spacer (H&R TRAK).

Mine are the older two-pice Shotguns. They had a red ring in the centercap, but I removed it.

I actually restored these wheels. They were not in great shape when I bought them, so I disassembled them, had the chrome stripped, and had the wheels professionally polished. I reassembled them, put my Yokohamas on 'em, and rolled! However, i'll be sellin my xB to get a Yaris, so they're currently in my living room. :smile:
