I am using Tanabe DF210 at the moment

nice rims!

but dude.... there are some kinds of ghosts with no faces standing behind your car

As for bigger wider wheels at the back, don't do it

That's only really useful for high powered rear wheel drive cars to get as much traction as possible. For our low powered front wheel drive cars, it's only gonna unbalance your handling. It looks great as it is

I will go with 17s, Yaris is a 1.5L line-4 supcompact car, 18s are for full size cars, anything beyond 18s are for trucks and SUVs

Here in PR 18" rims are the smallest in our compact cars, right YarisPR?

Sorry to post so much but I have to defend people who like big rims

If thats true I have a full size car or an SUV.....
But sincerly dude I prefer to have an "SUV" than a Yaris with orthopedic shoes.. sorry rims

Big rims on a econocar is retarded. Way to make your car ridiculously slower. That makes a tremendous negative impact on low torque, light cars. And it's downright comical how you talk about "racing" other vehicles. What? a John Deere? or a radio flyer? That's about your car's range.

Mine isn't slower than other yaris(they all are slow) And torque? u sure don't know where I live and the car works just fine in hills and in every aspect. And "racing" yes I can race cars in my range. You can race everything , don't u guys in the US race lawnmowers (some john deeres)? and wood cars downhill? (now thats funny) Is the same crap but slower... racing is racing.

by the way if there is a place where its stated that "big rims" are just for non- economic cars please let me know.

Great, so there are a bunch of Yaris owners in PR trying their hardest to go slower. WAY TO SOIL OUR GOOD NA- oh wait, thats right, they're all slow.

We are not trying to go slower you said it Yaris are already slow but we do go big on rims just for the looks and I really don't think 15, or 16s look better than 18s on a yaris. I ride 18'' and i'am still waiting for a yaris / scion Xa Xb/ echo that can beat me, and they ride the silly looking 14 or 15s(like yours)

ASHRAF · 01-10-2007, 09:44 PM

I think 18" will rub with tanabe springs

especially that I'm overweight hehehe

Probably I'll stay with this setup and find a nice body kit to go with it

thanx guys

Yaris_PR · 01-10-2007, 11:50 PM

Personally I don't like run and the truth is that the only good thing of a Yaris is the Toyota brand. I like the car, how it looks with mods like rims, spoilers, bodykits and many more, but we have to realize that is a slow car anyways. I really don't feel to much diference because I'am using ligth 18" rims to avoid problems and yes, I think the perfect match for a Yaris is 17" wheels. When a get a Yaris I should know that is a slow and cheap car , but an economical and convenient car, to me it's perfect like that

Yaris_PR · 01-10-2007, 11:52 PM

By the way I like your car like that ASHRAF
