Went for it... - Toyota Yaris Forums

New Enkei RPF1's in 15" to replace my Honda (CN) 15 inchers. Got them in silver as I figure that goes best with the Bayou. Supported the forum sponsor Tire Rack. Gonna shoe them with the new Fulkens I also just got. Will post pics when done. Looking forward to the 9.9lbs.

Lol just messin man. RPF1's always look good on Yarii

Klink10 · 08-17-2010, 01:44 PM

Well, here it goes. Got the +35 RPF1's, but between the time ordered and arrival I had second thoughts reference offset etc. After numerous back and forths with Kimona and some serious all nighters on the forum looking at pics and reading threads I opted for the RPF1's in 16 in with a +43 offset. Gonna shoe with the 205/50/16 General Exclaims UHP because they do it for free. I hate to lose the weight advantage of the 15's but the look is what I was after (do like these rims) and they (16's) have to be lighter than my current set-up. Will post pics when done. Thanks to those who have done the pics with descriptions of wheels and tires. Also to those that have offered comments and returned PM's. Most important Kimona for the suggestions and advice.

So you bought two sets? Or were you able to change the order?

Klink10 · 08-18-2010, 04:27 PM

Yea I sent the +35's back without opening. Still waiting to hear from Tire Rack on receipt.

Klink10 · 10-19-2010, 12:23 PM

Finally, pics of 16" +43 RPF1's with Generals on them. Lowered on TRD but still think I could go another 1/2 inch. Leaves, damn, oh well it's that time here.

Beautiful! Awesome choice, Klink!

*kimona* · 10-19-2010, 12:44 PM

The wheels look great. 205/50's I presume? Finally someone who isn't afraid to install centre caps on those wheels!

The TRD suspension is a mild drop, but provides improved handling and actually maintains a decent ride. Be happy.

I love the Vitz in that colour.

Yes they're 205/50's, the third pic has the size in the shot.

Thanks folks, Barber got me thinking about these awhile back and the weight savings gained. Oh and the little 8 ball caps went on when I kept dropping the blue caps for air servicing.

How much do the 16's weigh?
