the Rota RB is 16x7, +40, 4x100.

the Koniq Rewind is 15x7, 40, 4x100

Rota:thumbsup:

I believe the Rotas are lighter than Rewinds. You can get the 15X7 RB which I would highly suggest.

nice...i saw the side pictures...thanks

[sdmf]

sure, no problem, i get compliments about the rims all the time.

[brickhardmeat]

I looked up the weight of the Rewinds only 13.32, really not bad at all. I do like the lip on the Konigs.

yep...that lip will go bling bling when driving under the California sun...:thumbup:

Remember - the pic that you have posted up top of the rewinds, is the RWD rim. The FWD rim looks different - the center and spokes are pushed outwards more so there is a less prominent lip. I looked at the rewinds and skipped getting them because i fell in love with the RWD one's and the FWD ones just look weak. So i ended up getting a different set - just make sure your aware of the difference.

Thats a FWD rim in silver....

I would choose the Rota RB's over the Konig Rewinds.

The Rota RB's looks more like the original Panasport wheels than do the Rewinds.

Do the Rota wheels come in a proper width/offset for the Yaris?

[kurokoma-kun]

I made this same comparison recently, I really like these but bought different style. I remember thinking the Rota's looked better and were lighter, maybe more colors too, don't remember how price compared though.

[smokinyaris]

rota should be slightly cheaper than KONIG but i could be wrong............

[kimona]

Here's another wheel you may want to consider. It's an ASA, low pressure cast wheel, available in 16x7 and 17x7 from tirerack.

I just saw another brand that look like these 3..that might fit our Yaris.
I believe made by American Racing..but i could be wrong.

tonite..I will do re-search for all prices for all 4 of them.
and if things go my way..,
i will pick one of them..and show it to my wife. hopefully she will like it..:tongue:

[DeathBeard]

Awesome! Any rubbing after the drop? Been torn between this size or the 15x8 35+mm

[VQ35]

I too am considering 35 offset, but with 15x7 and TRD springs. I'm trying to figure out if OEM tire size or 195/55-15 will work without problems.

Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?
