what do you think of these wheels? - Toyota Yaris Forums

mikenacarato · 11-29-2008, 12:08 AM

first, before i went to test fit some wheels, i installed my trd sway bar. i am very happy with it and it really helped give a more sporty feel to the car.

Next, 15" Mugen NR wheels with falken tires (205/45/15) (ya i know Mugen is a honda thing but imo they look pretty good) what do you think? powdercoat them gunmetal?

Gunmetal will be nice...but I'm kinda liking the white.....

mikenacarato · 11-29-2008, 12:22 AM

i wasnt too sure on the white at first...but the more i look at it the more its growing on me.

SIPNGAS · 11-29-2008, 12:24 AM

I think it looks really sharp, actually.

I think it looks fantastic on your ride!!

If you want other color choice on your wheel, I would suggest anthracite.
Here is an example of how this color look like.

heh those borbets are the ones i have on my car.. the color is amazing.. sometimes its gray and sometimes its bronze.. depends on lighting and such.. would look great on ur color!

As much as I like anthracite/gun metal rims, I actually really like white with that red color. As for the PS job, you might want to get a better pic. That way, it'll show the details of those Mugens in a different color.

205/45/15???? why not a 205/55?

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 11-29-2008, 10:09 AM

why MUGEN???

*kimona* · 11-29-2008, 11:15 AM

205/45/15's are wickedly short tyres for the Vitz.

mikenacarato · 11-29-2008, 03:35 PM

thats just the tires on them. i can always get different tires. the mugen wheels are in mint shape and they were my friends wheels. i have a phobia about buying wheels, they have to be new or they have to be mint and i need to see them. dont know why it is but im that way for some reason. as to why mugens? they are a good wheel and not so common. plus they dont look too bad. wheels are wheels and as long as they are great quality and original, im all for trying them out.
