Soon JDM SSR Wheels - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yeah~~~
After 8 weeks of waiting I finally see my wheels coming to the office. The pick is not really the best of what I want because things get crazy when everytime I ask my wife to chip-in some "idea & fund".

Ignore the Paul guy in the pic...

he is just a wheel molester from local 300z group.

Like to see pics of those on the car soon!

la panique · 09-13-2007, 10:23 PM

My guess is those weren't cheap!
I'm realllly close to forking out the cash for some rare JDM wheels, but I can't decide on what kind.

redduck · 09-13-2007, 10:32 PM

falkor_99 · 09-13-2007, 10:58 PM

can't wait to see them in person, your car is going to look awesome that color combo will go great with your car.

It was done two hours after shop closed. Thx to wheel and brake techs stay over-time to paint calipers and put up the wheels. I also washed the car during late evening. I will post 1 pic tomorrow. (.... ok 2 pics )

Thanks to all staffs at Tanaba & More-Japan.com to process the wheels!

Thirty-Nine · 09-14-2007, 12:48 PM

Can't wait; I love 4-spoke wheels, and those are some of my favs.

JosephDoc · 09-14-2007, 04:39 PM

So... here it is!
Hope you guys like it!

man.....now I'm running stock wheels at the meet. Looks nice, never seen 4 spoke on Yaris. What size are those?

Thirty-Nine · 09-14-2007, 04:57 PM

Looks great!

JosephDoc · 09-14-2007, 05:05 PM

16"... with different offsets on front and back, and on 205/50/16 Bridgestone RE750.

Well, the front and rear wheels have same off set, but the trick is on different center pieces to fake the "stagger" and "deeper lip" look at back. (thanks to James @ Tanabe).

It is a custom setup up and this a business mai-do back to Tanabe.

Well, that's interesting. But, I don't understand why you would want to "fake the stagger" and have your wheels look deeper in the back when you could have taken advantage of the staggered look you were going for and actually staggered the offsets. Just about every set-up Vitz I see in Japan staggers offsets by 5 to 10mm's.

BTW, what offset did you decide on when you had the wheels built?

Stagger set up proly won't help anything to this car, and fake stagger is a fashion in Japan!

True, plus me and Tanabe guys just want to have more fun this car. The goal is making it a fashion toy on street and also allow tire rotation possible as a daily drive car.

So here is the recipe:
16x7J+39 on front and rear, with Std & Shallow faces for front and rear.
205/50/16 Bridgestone RE750 87W 340AA
On Tein Coilover - Basic
*The tire size will not work if spring-lowered!*

The front tires are flushed with front fender (maybe 1+mm outside). Rear upper portion of fedner has 1 finger gap with the tire because of the round tire sholder, but wheel lip-flang is acutally flush with the fender. Bottom portion of rear tires stick out 15mm off o/e mud guards.

I was planning to insert 10mm spacers at back but since the rear bottom tire sticks out 15mm off the mud guard edge... no_go on this.

Hope this info help some to get nice JDM wheels.

Do you happen to know how heavy those wheels are? I didn't see a weight posted on the site...

Beats me! I could not find anything even in JDM dealer's manual either.

UPS labeled 19 lbs... the box is heavy duty grade and with multi-layers of cardboards for international freight protection... my guess 15 is lbs for each wheel.

It is 3-pcs forged in 16" and I think 15 lbs worth its durability on trac.

I drive granny-speedy only....

Thirty-Nine · 09-14-2007, 05:53 PM

What are the offsets if you don't mind me asking?
