Matte Black or Hyper Black

Ok everyone, I think I have finally decided on the wheels I am going to get. They are the 5zigen FN01R-C in 16x7. I need all of your honest opinions on what color to get. Matte Black or Hyper Black. All input and feedback is welcome and will be greatly appreciated! They are going on a Blazing Blue Liftback. Thanks everyone!

My Car


Hyper Black


Matte Black

Hey thanks a lot! I'm a perfectionist myself and I want that perfect look. I plan on dropping it with a set of TRD shocks and struts and possibly a set of TRD lowering springs. I still have to explore and get familiar with all the specs for that!

+42 is great, will give you some tuck, 18's are retarded looking for on a yaris, hyper black looks good with the blue, +33 is gonna poke

you can go either way depending on how low you want to go, I say DF's and +42

Thanks for the replies! So a +42 should work with 16x7? Any rubbing if, I mean when, lowered?

shouldn't have any problems with 195/50/16 or 205/45/16, +42 is a good offset

you can run 205/50/16 but you may have some rubbing

you might want to check out some garages and talk with a few people running similar setups but I think I'm giving you strong advice, anyway there have been previous posts on the subject and you might want to do some exploring before you commit

Also, which size tire would work best... 195/55-16 or 205/50-16. Also, does anyone have the weight of the stock wheels? This is the first time I'm actually buying wheels based on weight, is 15 lbs light for a 16x7?

how low do you want to go? I think down to 1.5 or so you will be fine with the 205/50/16 but with DF's or Tein S Techs at closer to 2. you will probably want a little less sidewall

I don't want it slammed or anything. I want the fenders to sit just above the tires.

check out largeorangefront's garage, his car comes to mind as far as running 205/50/16

I think if you went with Megan Springs, 1.5 inch drop and the 205/50/16 you would be just fine
