good luck finding them in that size, I have seen them but not for sale, I was told by jlb that the only colors available right now are polished or black with polished lip and they only sell the 15 inch size (my preference)

these guys have 16 inch jmag in polished, red or gold

They told me that they only have 15s and 16s so I don't think they can get them in 17s but you can try e-mailing them. They are fast in responding to e-mails so it's probably worth a try.

Too much rice for my taste. I only like silver, chrome, and black rims. Color reminds of 2 Fast 2 Furious.

I see. O well, to each his own. I got Kumho Ecsta ASX (Ku21) tires for the rims. they should be mounted on today but I'm going to drop them onto the car after monday which is my scheduled appointment for the first oil chance/service.

Off topic... but, I really dislike that term "rice". Afterall we're all talking about a Japanese car that we love and it just plain sounds derogatory. I wish we could all agree not to use "rice" on this forum.

alright well i got them installed today after my oil change. car is at 4,650 miles haha

brickhardmeat · 08-13-2007, 05:15 PM

Looks real good. Those center caps are much better than the ones they sent me. I trashed the ones I got.

contraband831 · 08-13-2007, 05:38 PM

Nice, Civic

just kidding, love those wheels i was looking for them in 17's, in that color but they are hard to come by.

*kimona* · 08-13-2007, 07:53 PM

Looking good! So, those are 15x7, 40's with 205/50's. Is that right, yrsdrgn?

yup yup 15x7 wit 40 offset and 205/50/15 tires ^^

As for the center caps I asked the guys who sold me the rims about different center caps and they said "here's what we have" and then i asked about the ones you see on my rims and they just gave it to me.........i checked their site during the night time and found out that them center caps sell for $18/each and i got 4 of them for free!!! lol

seanele · 08-14-2007, 02:35 AM

nice rims!!
are you sure they are 15??.
they more like 16in to me.

sherryberry · 08-14-2007, 09:52 AM

yrsdrgn · 08-14-2007, 02:00 PM

I have to agree with seanele, those wheels look like 16's.

With those small blue centers and the large polished rim, I thought the wheels would look like 13's. Wrong!

Hmm. If they do in fact look like 16's then I guess i made the right choice with the 15's hehe. Yea the wheels w/out tires mounted on them did look rather small.

*kimona* · 08-14-2007, 02:23 PM

The "problem" with the Yaris is that for such a small car it has a huge appetite to "swallow up" wheels.

Choosing the right set-up is important visually because many wheel/tire applications all the way up to 17's just look tiny on this car!

Yrsdrgn, you got very lucky, and your car looks great!

BTW, you could run some hubcentric spacers in the rear if you want a bit better look.
