I'm hoping the tire shows up tomorrow... If not I'll just order a replacement and have UPS deal with the missing one. Had to work late today so I didn't get a chance to mount two as planned, I'll try again tomorrow.

Tire showed up, didn't get too many great pics since it's already dark out and the car is filthy. I probably haven't posted any pics for a while... car has the Seibon VSII hood and JDM non-RS rear bumper installed. JDM front bumper, aeroover lip kit and carbon hatch are at the paint shop already. It's getting ready to go for paint really soon and won't be white much longer.

The wheels fit great, no rubbing at all! They look pretty tiny, and definitely change the look of the car. I should really go lower for looks but the car won't clear any speed bumps as it is right now. Handling feels great, acceleration is a little quicker also. One thing to watch out for is the front brake clearance is tight and you can't run any of the thicker 1/2 oz. sticker weights directly above the caliper on the front wheels or it will touch, luckily the wheels didn't need much weight at all to balance and I was able to use the skinnier style 1/4 oz. weights which clear fine.

Wow that looks amazing. what color do you plan to have the car painted? and can you possibly take a picture of the underside of the cf hood?

reznunt · 08-24-2007, 03:38 AM

thanks for the pics! i picked up my lenso's today. i just need tires!

love the recaros btw.

CompanyXPaladin · 08-24-2007, 03:46 AM

Those look fantastic on your car, man. EXTREMELY clean looking ride.. how wide are the wheels? The Recaros rock.. Keep up the excellent work man.

I might just have to order myself a set each for my RX7 and my Yaris for track days....

cali yaris · 08-24-2007, 04:35 AM

very nice, love the wheels!

eTiMaGo · 08-24-2007, 05:19 AM

ahhaha I love it, looks more like a matchbox toy now

*kimona* · 08-24-2007, 09:28 AM

Would look very weird as a daily driver! But perfect for weekend racing.

Nice mods. What wheels and tires do you normally run?

03Z33 · 08-24-2007, 10:47 AM

Thank you for all the comments

I'll probably run these for a while until the car is out of the paint shop. The car gets a lot of looks

I'll take a pic of the underside of the hood and post. Paint color is not decided yet.

Great! What color did you get them in? Can't wait to see it! What tire size are you getting?

I bet they would look real good on MK1 RX7

I have a few sets of wheels that I switch between. Usually it's the AME's or the Racing Harts but lately I've been running the Watanabes with the RA1's every day.

i got white since i'm on black wheels right now... otherwise i would've went with black. so you already know what it'll look like haha.

i'm going to run 205-60-13. i only found a few tires that were in stock... really cheap shit like federals and nankangs or really expensive shit like the ra1's you got. no in between! i think i'm getting cooper cobras because of a hook up. i can't run ra1's on the street because i don't have tire warmers and i don't plan on taking 70 mph right-handers on the street hahaha.

btw, thanks for being the guinea pig! you're a true pioneer.

I couldn't find the blister pack with your car in it

About your hood, have you driven/parked it in rain yet? Does it turn into a bird bath? I like how it looks, but I also live in the Pacific Northwest, and don't want to funnel water onto my engine...

brickhardmeat · 08-24-2007, 05:59 PM

those 13's are RAD, make my 15's look like 17's

Tire Rack have the Sumitomo HTR 200 which is a decent street tire in 205/60/13 for $45 plus shipping.

Haven't seen any rain recently, but I'm really not worried about it.

blueskana · 08-25-2007, 01:13 AM

Those things look rowdy man. Beat me to the punch LOL. Very nice. So you dig the new OD ratio rpm wise? What size tire/variation from stock is your combo now?

blueskana · 08-25-2007, 02:37 AM

Offset???

The overall diameter is approximately 1/2" shorter than the stock 14" wheel and tire combo with my particular tire sizing. Your car will lower by 1/4" and your fender gap will increase by 1/4". I prefer the lower stance and the slightly shorter gearing since it helps with acceleration. The stock gearing is very tall IMO on the Yaris, which is great for fuel economy but can be improved on for performance.

The wheel offset is +25 and it's a 13x7.5

Can't wait to hear how they perform with some aggressive cornering.
