rota 15's...what do you guys think? - Toyota Yaris Forums

SamDaYarisMan · 07-06-2006, 05:40 PM

I just got these rota copies

installed this weekend with 205/50/15s. It's obvious that i need to lower her. Do you guys think i should go with the tanabe nf210's or the lower df210's. The gap between the tire and fender is pretty unsightly, so springs are definately next on my list.

Wheres the remote control for that thing?

Looks good.

El Jefe · 07-06-2006, 06:25 PM

*Chris07LB* · 07-06-2006, 06:37 PM

Looks good, now slam the crap out of it!

BTW - what % tint is that?

Idjiit · 07-06-2006, 06:56 PM

The polished lip really accentuates how small the wheels are, but it looks "cute".

yariman · 07-06-2006, 07:19 PM

Looks real good! Let us know which springs you are going to go with.

Hey! Its not size that matters, it's how well they perform lol. Yeah i wanted 16's or even 17's, but with such lil' power i didn't want to compropise performance or GAS MILEAGE. I chose these particular wheels because they are only 12 lbs. I may be crazy but with just 1 inch lower profle i can feel that the car doesn't "try as hard". i can especially feel it when shifting gears and when accelerating from a stand still. Before i felt a lil' slipping sensation in the clutch when shifting, like the engine was struggling to pick up the load in the next gear, but i dont feel that now. Anyway, i will definately post pics of the car lowered when i decide which ones to get.

Oh yeah CHRIS the tint is the darkest legal tint here in florida. Sorry i dont know what it is, but the dealership wouldn't do it any darker or else i would have. For some reason i remember someone saying 35% was the darkest but don't quote me on that

I'm totally with you on the size choice, it's what I'll be going with eventually. I was just saying that I think the polished lip just accentuates how small they are. Normal 15's don't look as small, imo.

sroberts · 07-06-2006, 10:12 PM

I like it the way it is. I don't think lowering looks better, too ricey for me. But I really like the rims.

C2AUTOSPL · 07-06-2006, 11:22 PM
