superturismo.jpg

what do you think? how will it look on the Yaris HB
does anyone here have those on their Yaris?, I'm think about 215/40R17, how much do you think I should drop with that size to get a perfect gap, let's say no higher than an inch cap, thanks guys

BTW they are costy, specially for the 17s

Nice wheel, but I bet a real bitch to clean.

they look good, I think they are 15s and not dropped low enough, with more drop and bigger size would be even better.

Cheers

looks like the Eibach is an in drop , I guess I will go with the Tein S-Tech for those Superturismo 17s, snice thats the only springs brings down to a 1.9 in drop in the market right now.
Great pic, thanks

Kaotic Lazagna · 05-20-2007, 04:35 PM

the S.Tech's are great.

PetersRedYaris · 05-20-2007, 06:23 PM

Those are favorite wheels, EVER!

I would have gotten them if not for the price. Go fot it!!! 17's, 215/40/17's, and TRD or Tanabe NF210 springs.

tiksman · 05-20-2007, 07:15 PM

for sure man, even though it's USD$250 a peice, i think those may be the most costy wheel for a 17s on the market you can get, but I dont mind the price because I think those are the best looking wheels you can get out there, I m gonna go with the 1.9in drop with the Tein S-tech, I dont think an in drop is enough to take away all the cap.

Eurostar · 05-20-2007, 09:07 PM

Here's the Specs

Finish Shown: White Painted

Size Selected: 17x7
Price: $249 (each)
Recommended Tire Size: 205/45-17
Wheel Offset: 40mm
** Lightweight: 21.4 lbs. **

Additional Specs

Bolt Pattern: 4-100
Finish Warranty: 2 YEARS
Country of Origin: ITALY
Construction Type: 1 PC LP CAST

it's a 40mm offset, and recommended 205/45-17, my stock tires are 185/60-15, to keep the same diameter of the wheels, I could either go with a 205/45-17 or a 215/40-17, I think I will go with the 205/45-17 since is recommended, is 21.4 lbs per wheel consider light weight? how much do theose OEM wheels and steelies and other aftermarket wheels weight?

Love the wheels, even more in white!

Get 205/40/17s and Sprint springs (2.0 inch drop)

PetersRedYaris · 05-20-2007, 10:58 PM

Stock 15 inch steel with 185/60/15 weighs 33 lbs.

Stock wheel diameter = 23.9 inches
215/40/17 = 23.9 inches (exact replacment)
205/45/17 = 24.4 inches (too tall)
205/40/17 = 23.5 inches (good choice for 1.9 inch drop)

21.4 lbs is fairly heavy. Your set-up will probably weigh ~42 lbs when mounted and balanced. Not a huge loss of power; mine is the same.
