18 Rota Torques?

Does anyone on this board have a set of 17 or 18 inch rota torques on their liftback? After seeing jookybanana's yaris with the Work rims, I really wanted to get a set of the emotions, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money with the type or roads we have here in PA. I was curious to see if the if they make an 18 in 4x100, but the only 18 I've seen is the 18x8, and I'd be curious to see how that would fit on the yaris. But I guess I could always go with a 17x7.5. But does anyone have any pics? By the way, here is jookybanana's Yaris:





Also, what color would be the best match to those rims, gunmetal or bronze?

Why 18's don't you think 15 inch rims are better on this car? Wait no, no you probably don't. Nevermind. Nice wheel choice besides the size, 8 inches wide is too wide for this car by the way.

On red I would say gunmetal.

white!!!! or bronze too, I almost went for those.

And yeah, over 7.5" is probably gonna cause some rubbing somewhere.

17" or even 16"s are probably a better choice, too, I mean, I love the look of the 18"s on mine, but I almost have a heart attack every time there's a pothole up ahead.

I'll most likely end up going with the 17s because the 18s you can only get in 8 inches wide, and if that's going to rub or stick out too far, I don't want anything to do with that.

And I really don't want to go with a smaller rim on a car like this, the wheel wells are really large, so with a smaller rim, I just think it looks funny. Plus, after seeing jookybanana's, I was sold. I'll just have to settle for 17x7.5.
