too honda looking? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

If you like them - then just get them, who cares if someone thinks they are "rice" The word is so subjective anyway. What one person thinks is "rice" may be different than someone else. If you go about putting performance parts and rims on a yaris - your guaranteed to be called rice by someone, no matter how clean - everyone has an opinion and on your car YOURS is the only one that matters.

get it get it! and brickhardmeat, i haven't really seen you posting much lately. what's up with that?

forpinks · 08-08-2007, 04:21 PM

Old Skool! Get something better I guess....

Rota has nicer rims than that.

brickhardmeat · 08-08-2007, 05:06 PM

better? I bought what I wanted what could be better than that?

everyone has a different taste and style, yawn

I got them because I liked them, I didn't bother asking what anyone else thought about them before I made the purchase, however purchasing rota wheels in general is a big "no no" to some because they are knockoffs, yawn

who cares

sherry,

seriously, why do I bother

agreed...!! and they do look good with the Blazing Blue Yaris...

I like that style..but i'm more to the style of Tenzo R series. probably will pick 'em this weekend at Autobacs.

yrsdrgn · 08-08-2007, 06:32 PM

after pulling a few strings here's the result. 15x7 with 40 offset
had to give back the div3 cuz i'd be too pressured with owning a set of those. I might be able to use them for shows though if he lets me ^^ but for now these are my rims. Now to stretch them old stocker tires onto these =P

brickhardmeat · 08-08-2007, 06:48 PM

NO!!!!!

please don't stretch those bridgestone potenza tires on there, grab a set of 205/50/15 and drop those coilovers all the way

grab some falkens anything but don't put the stock tires on these, please

just keep the stock wheels for a spare set

the wheels look great and I prefer the 15 inch size for this wheel

by the way you will want some spacers in the rear

yrsdrgn · 08-08-2007, 06:51 PM

don't stretch the potenza tires? ok ok. ahha my car is lowered on cusco compact-s coilovers =P and you recommend 205/50/15 for them eh? alright i'll go with you on that one

I edited my post I couldn't remember what coils you had, the car will feel a million times better with that size too

yrsdrgn · 08-08-2007, 06:54 PM

haha cool. I'll be sure to get 205/50/15 for them. I'll probably go with toyo proxes t1r tires lol

not sure if you wanna go with 205's if you want more of a grip on the road, i would say some wider tires like 215s and that would help protect the lip from any curb rash also, if your gonna lower it some more, 50s might rub just a lil bit, minus well go with some 45s, a lil lower profile and in my opinion it's feels more stable and not so wavey from side to side
