Wheels Ready for Install

Wet sanding with 1500 and 2000



Polished wheels. These will bake in the sun today and go on the car tomorrow. I laid the clear on good and thick so they should be quite durable.

Excellent work. Have you got new rubber going on your wheels?

Thanks! I have a set of 195/60R15 with about 9/32 tread left. These were the tires I bought used and had installed on my other Yaris. I like the slightly wider tire and thought it would look best on the RS. Will post pics tomorrow.

195/60/15's are a good fitment. Waiting for the photos.

I agree. I'm pretty sure that there will be no rubbing issues with the Penguin 13mm spacers and the 195's. I was running the 185/65R15 Michelins on the RS and there still looked to be some room. I have a 9:30AM appointment tomorrow. Hopefully they won't have an issue putting the 195's on a 5.5" wheel. I know some places won't install much other than what's posted on the door jamb.

For you, sir.

My camera lens does not really convey the width of the tires. They do seem wider in person. I really wish they made this alloy in 16" and a tad wider. The installer did cause one very small ding in the clearcoat near the center cap, but I mixed up a couple drops of clear and filled it. I expect that if the clearcoat had been fully cured, that may not have happened. Will sand and buff out later. Absolutely no damage to the edges of the rims. Overall, a pretty good installation, IMO.

Very, very nice! You've put a lot of sweat equity into that little car and it shows.
