Help me identify this stock toyota wheel - Toyota Yaris Forums

martenswd · 04-14-2009, 02:58 PM

I posted a want ad on a local used item site for wheels that will fit my GF Yaris. I received a response and somebody has these stock toyota wheels for sale. this is the picture he sent me.

GetAttachment.jpg

I spoke with him on the phone and he said they are stock on a corolla. I've spent the last two hours searching everywhere trying to find a picture of these wheels online.

They are 205/45-16 with a 40mm offset which according to the tire fitment guide on this site, they should fit no problem and may rub a little bit on big bumps because the offset is 40 not 42-45mm

Anyways, think I'm going to buy them tonight, since the price is right. I'd just like to have an idea where they came from. that way I may have better luck finding center caps.

Thanks for your help

hmmm, looks more like Miata wheels to me.

Hi

Usually, if it´s the same as in Europe, Toyota Corolla wheels have ET45 like the Toyota Yaris.
If it´s a genuine Toyota rim there should be a part number behind the wheel, probably on one of the spokes.

Regards Steven.

I did a search for miata wheels and they do look close but aren't the same. I will check for the part number when I'm there tonight.

Thanks

They look a lot like the wheels on our 2007 Yaris S sedan. They're 15" wheels, though.

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-14-2009, 04:58 PM

Perhaps from the MR2/S line or European Corolla line?

mastaofdisasta · 04-14-2009, 07:42 PM

my guess was with mr2 as well

WolfWings · 04-15-2009, 01:54 AM

Nope, not an MR2 wheel. VERY close, but still no match unless it's from something 2003 or later in the death-throes of that model line.

MR2 wheels throughout the ages: (Also, note that MR2's often used different sizes in the front and back, larger and/or wider in the back.)

100% Mazda Miata Wheels. The 1st pic is just very shiny. Good eye Kaotic.

Absolutely Miata wheels.

identity theft. Now in wheel form!

martenswd · 04-23-2009, 05:11 PM

Wow! I didn't expect this big of a turn out. Thanks for all your help!

I did buy the wheels and they fit the car perfectly. The guy I bought them from said they were aftermarket wheels that he had on his 1999 corolla.

I guess he "acquired" them from a miata or the miata above has the same aftermarket wheels. The inside of these wheels don't have any mazda markings or part numbers.

Just don't tell my GF I put miata wheels on her car because she hates miatas.

Thanks again for all your help. The only thing I need now is to find some center caps.
