Konig Helium, Sparco Terra or painted steelies
While my coilovers sit in my entry way, I'm trying to decide on wheels. Mind you my car is a true city car with it's share of dings and scratches and that is not going to change and frankly I kinda like it or at least don't mind.
I have a meteorite colored 07 liftback. Trying to decide between: 1. Painting my steelies with a fresh coat of black (i like the steelie look). 2. Konig Heliums (black) 3. Sparco Terra's (black with white Sparco emblems) and one more contender that I found while picking up some upholstery cleaner at pepboys: 4. Proline 110B (they have a great sale on these, 4 for $185, they are cheaper than new steelies would cost) https://www.pepboys.com/product/deta...520DOHC/64710/ |

15x7 with ET35
Tire 185/60/15 I know the tire will fit, but not if it'll rub. Last edited by Type-Y; 06-15-2018 at 11:13 AM. |

Miata rims for Yaris
I body-color powdercoated a set of surface-rusty but incredibly accurate circa 1990 5.5x14 Miata steelies for 185-65's...couldn't be happier. (Have tiny chrome Mazda center caps.)
(Die-grinder to remove wheel-cover keys, which circa 1990 Corolla and Miata both have. But stock 07 Yaris steel-wheels-for-wheel-covers don't. Go figure. Mind of Toyota.) |

What's not to like about the look of a grey or silver 356 Porsche? (I don't know what is "meteorite.")
(Body-colored wheels seemed to end about 1960.) http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/att...1&d=1503845440 Last edited by dogsridewith; 06-17-2018 at 09:22 AM. |

Meteorite is Toyota for light blue. That may have looked good too, but for now the steelies are out, as I got a good deal on a set of Avid 1 AV08's. Here's what I got: IMG_1293 (1).jpg |

I think I accidentally threw out the Avid stickers for the center cap, but no worries, I think I'm going to try to get Toyota emblems for the centers or just leave it blank the way it is. Antique heat register? |
