My first set of aftermarket wheels ever! - Toyota Yaris Forums

ezhacker1 · 12-11-2009, 01:53 AM

Nippon Racing TE37 knockoffs + Kumho Ast 205/50/15 (95% tread) + D1 Spec lug nuts, centers, hub ring for $430

Before:

After:

Tread difference

Offsets:

All done after 30 minutes with hand tools

i like the tires being slightly shorter, i rub less, and the car sits .34 inchs lower

makes a huge difference!
I like it!

30 minutes? you're fast! Takes me 30 minutes to change 1 tire!

Looks great! Are you on stock suspension?

NOOOOOOO Johnathan you were supposed to buy my old wheels! Now I gotta sell mine on craigslist =(

P.S. The Nippons look great and I have the same Kumho tire. It rocks in the summer but be VERY careful when it's wet. I slide easily with them *consistently*

Congrats on your first set. Car looks sweet!

i really wanted to keep with 15s, and i think i got a pretty good deal. i love the width of 205s, and the tread looks amazing compared to stock. I just wonder how those racing tires you got with the Rota Slipstreams will be wet. You picked them up yet?

NF210s: 1.1" front 1.3" read

I really like the shorter tire height, i dont have to worry about rubbing with weight or full turn, being lower .34" due to tires is nice too.

Nope still waiting to pick them up. Garm is still holding them for me. It's very painful to know that they're waiting for me but finals at San Jose State are no joke, especially for Seniors like me so... back to the books for another week before I can get them
