They are 13x5.5, the pic is basically what they are - but the ones I have aren't quite as polished. They were media blasted and I lightly buffed em up to a darker grey matte color (just about matches the meterorite metallic).
The tires are sumitumo htr 200's - excellent summer tires, incredible traction in everything but below 50 degrees :) I'll get a pic up, and probably start a new thread for them. |

This may be what happens, definitely deserving! I'm gonna snooze on it till this weekend, make sure this is the direction I wanna head. Took the car out today and gave it a little gas... poops all over a TC lol... its such a step down, with more of an expense all around. But I would prefer the doodads and luxories... But then there is the idea of a turbo celica, which would be much cheaper and more my style - payment would probably be lower or no more than the yaris after looking/haggling... but that 2.4 in the TC gets me more excited and trading an 07 for an 02 doesn't sound very exiciting at all... :) Then there is also bypassing all this and putting the $1000 or so needed into swapping to a 5 speed... but this is one heck of a project, possibly with disasterous outcomes. I've very well mapped it out, but without anything really concrete to go off beyond the tech manual, it could be an accident waiting to happen... this turbo swap/sell could also be an opportunity to go this route with a little less worry... I'll drive on out through amish country to do the swap there for gas + food + beer :)... this would be preferable as there isn't a good place to "swap" here, more of a come pickup the parts and I'll wrastle the stock parts on, but it would make life a hell of alot easier for all parties if you can see the kit come off... I'll have to be prepared to plug that hole in the engine block for the oil feed (reminder to self....) But I want to be 500% sure of what I'm going to do afterword so I don't kick myself sometime after hitting the turnpike on the way back with a car that once again takes planning to pass on the highway... :) |

Mark, I agree that it would be a lot easier on us to have you come here so we can uninstall your kit ourselves. It would also give me time to get everything tapped and freed up. Stock parts, gas, food, beers and a couch within walking distance of the bar is included. Think about it and let me know. Remember... you'd only have to drive a stock Yaris long enough to get to a dealership so you could trade that biotch in for a new car.

This also may mean that my HKS exhaust would go up for sale. Two previous owners: eTiMaGo and myself. Its a damn piece of YW history!

The TC's weight is what I don't like, particularly with all the doodads that I won't want to remove to save said weight.... Buy it, nah... drive it... :: |

I'd def hit a dyno sooner than later + get a wideband (exhaust is tapped for that at least), if that wasn't already the plan :). Researching this celica idea, always liked em but the ones in my price range are hard to find and 00-02 gt seems to have oil consumption issues... gts is possible but insurance... Another night to sleep on it :) |

In PM's with chino, not so much a feeler I think we may have it worked out :)
The aforementioned deal was resolved, btw... perhaps if this goes as planned confidence can be reinstated. I'd say trying to hide would be significantly silly given the rarity of the ZPI kit. |
