Extreme VIP Style Yaris

[Walter]

Any VIP'd out Yarii out there? Big deep-dish wheels tuckin hard with lots of -camber? I havent seen any, but seeing the Fit below kinda, maybe, sorta, possibly got me back into modding my Yaris (Ive been kinda out of itlately). I figure if that Fit can look that good, a Yaris would look that much better...

If not maybe someone can do a photoshop?

I haven't seen any VIP-style NCP91s, but have seen some older Yarii that received the VIP treatment. Here are a few that are close to VIP-style:

[la panique]

I was considering trying out this VIP thing once I get started on my sedan.

coming soon Walter :biggrin: but you may see it as more Euro than VIP :wink:

[la panique]

It's a real pain in the ass to find VIP style wheels...i've looked all over.

Noice!!! I cant wait to see it!

Thanks for the pics Thirty-Nine, closest Ive seen to it yet. I need to sell some stuff :wink:

Those are pretty cool pictures. The last picture is my favorite of the bunch though! :thumbsup:

That's the second picture of a wide-body style that I've seen where the rear wheels were toed out. What is the purpose of doing that, please?

1: I think it's a result of the bags (?) that he's using for suspension.
2: The handling is naturally increased, by having the tires leaning intoward the body (at the expense of replacing them every however many miles).

Or, the matchbox axles he's using are bending under the weight of the body :laugh:

[YarisTom73]

The last one looks like Mercedes wheels, unsure that's right for a Yaris...I think the first pic's wheels look much better :smile:

Either way, it's a terribly impractical style that costs a lot to reap little benefit, but we love it anyway :tongue:

[Walter]

The large degree of neg. camber is mostly for clearance and aesthetics. I personally love the look of a car so low and so cambered that it looks broken. Impractical, yes... but arent most aftermarket mods?

The deep dish wide wheels on a low car only work if you run a narrow, stretched, low profile tire. The neg. camber helps by bringing the top of the wheel into the wheel arch to minimize rubbing while still running a wide wheel.

Does the camber help in the handling department? Sure. In this case? Nope. The car being so low (many VIP cars are on air ride) in many cases hinders handling, but it looks amazing.

Jeff, still got the AME Shallens?

IMO "Pimp my ride" VIP style is strictly for show, otherwise totally impractical for any daily driver!

Do you really think that's a Euro-look? Seems more like American ghetto cross-over.

No car will ever be everyone's cup of tea. Everyone's opinion counts, and I dont disagree with you. After all... I think I just said that, without the sarcasm :rolleyes:
Do you have any mods on your car? Anything you ever do to your car will never be as "practical" as the factory intended it to be. A lot of R&D.

American ghetto cross-over? How do you figure?
Do you mean like this?

Well, I do have some mods on my car, but I believe they're all quite practical... in fact, I would never have considered any of them if they weren't every bit as practical "as the factory intended..."

No, that's just plain American ghetto; VIP-style is the cross-over.
And, I'm sorry if you think I was being sarcastic; I was just stating a fact about show-car style and practicality, and "Pimp my ride" is commonly used to refer to each of these related styles.

Yes, still have them :smile:

Let see some hijacker there shit up and slap some 30's on a Yaris... now that would be ghetto

I'd love to see a Yaris HB pimped-out American ghetto. That would be absolutely insane!

[Black Yaris]

someone will do it.... I think it would be a cool show car.... but I would love to see a Yaris laying rocker and tucking 20's

Yup, show-car cool... totally impractical, but awesome nonetheless.

Those wheels look awesome :thumbup:

There are a lot of companies that are staples of VIP style out there besides Fab. Junction Produce, DAMD, Anceltion, Kenstyle, etc. are all major players in the style.

[Walter]

Not a NCP91, but I almost enjoy it (minus those flares!)

hey my boy bailout!!! just to add to that info, its called camber..ull see al the grand touring cars with the wheels that way for improved handling...but hes right..u would only ever do that if you had a real good friend in the rubber industry
