Any old school wheels out there?

Just wondering,

Any yaris guys running real old school wheels out there (SSR Mesh, MKII, III, Work equip 01, 03, Watts), etc?

http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/mk2.asp

http://www.ssr-wheels.com/wheels/mk3.asp

http://www.workwheelsusa.com/product...ry=30&wheel=87

I wonder what they would look like without the usual cheap or "Race" wheels. Something with more style.

Please post up if you have it.

Thanks.

the Equip03s would look nice personally but I haven't seen anyone do it.

i'm just not a fan of lips on the Yaris for some reason.

which is why I went with the RE30s on ours. :)

Mmmm.... How old is old.

In Puerto Rico we use a lot of American Racing wheels like the Libre or Vector, plus some old Supra clones. Then comes the Anteras and the Momos. I'm talking 80's.

My Yaris with HRS wheels 15X6.5 on stock tires. They look like the Libre, but with 5 slenders spokes.

I believe big brake upgrades will only fit with 17's.

Not really an old school wheel but the style is similar to a Torque Thrust II wheel. They are called "Goocars Hemi" by Work wheel. I'm really diggin these.

I really liked Saggio's old wheels: 16x7 XXR 513's in a +15 offset. Tires are Yokohama S-Drives 195/45/16.

Not sure on the Hemis but the Leadsleads were. Glad I got a set when I did. Too bad I will probably never mount them on the Yaris. Just doesn't seem right for the sedan.
I have a set of original Work Meister rims that came off my project car. Too bad the yaris isn't 5 lug.
