Potential New Owner Needs a Little help - Toyota Yaris Forums

j996tt · 02-21-2010, 01:33 PM

Hello all- I am contemplating a Yaris purchase - 4 door Sport package car. Can anyone tell me if the wheel in the attached image is a stock Toyota item. I do not want aftermarket wheels. Appreciate any input and help. Thanks. Jeff

That's not a stock wheel that I've ever seen...

I like it, however.

The lug nut lock is a sign that there is/was some value in the wheels. Ask the seller. Maybe he has the original wheels.

Thanks much for the help. I assume the TPS sensors were swapped - must ask. Jeff

That Yaris could have come with the Toyota wheel locks option and those are just the lug nuts the owner kept, but re: the wheels I have never seen those as stock before.

Sometimes the dealerships put on some accessories themselves, and simply charge them to the car, upping the price a little bit. Is this a new or used Yaris? What is the mileage reading? Ask for the Maroni sticker, even if it is used, because they post all accessories on it. Also, if it is used, check Kelly Blue Book and NADA and make sure the price is about where it is supposed to be. Also, if it is used, ask and make sure you are getting a Certified Used car, because they come with a 7 year/100,000 mile powertrain, 3 year/36,000 mile or 3 month/ 3,000 mile comprehensive warranty (if it is over the original 3 year/ 36,000 mile warranty). It will also have 24/7 roadside assistance and a better chance of having been better taken care of before hand.

It would have Toyota center caps if OEM. However, as mentioned above, it could have been a dealer upgrade.

To the OP, if you want alloys on the car, why don't you not want aftermarkets which are more interesting and yet less expensive?

I think my brother's 2006 Xb has these wheels too. Sold new like that. They are NOT a common style. Also, they installed 3 Scion center caps and 1 Toyota one, go figure.... Looks like the insert on this wheels center cap fell out.
Ask to take a wheel off and see what is written on the back.

U know this was a bump from February right?

To those people that have never seen those wheels... that is what came stock on my '07 hatch that I bought in October of '06. And I still have them on :)

They look like a Honda wheel, not sure what year or model but I would swear Honda put on a similar wheel (mid/late 90s?).

Its aftermarket for sure. If it were stock, there would be a toyota corp logo in the center of each wheel.
