17" 5Zigen wheels with BFGoodrich KDW2 mounted on the yaris...

So I finally got my wheels and the tires mounted on my Yaris (evening pictures so they might not be that great)

I love the fact that I didn't have a huge gap between the tire and the body of the yaris...

BFGoodrich KDW2 205/45 17

looks good, flows with the color, but i personally don't like mesh rims (i dunno why either). did you black out the headlight, or is that an overlay?

hahaha, i was going to do that (JDM license plate), but i didn't want to spend 50 bucks on one. oh, and some members here will flame you for putting that Netz badge on the front.

what other mods have you done so far?

Looks alright....in my opinion i would've gone for a dish since i think it looks pretty nice on the sedan. Since you blacked out that part of the headlight why not tint that reflector ^^ as for the netz badge on it i say to each his own...i prefer that badge over the toyota badge hehe ^^

The black over the headlight is just a tint overlay I figured till I get the eyelid things (I did put some tint overlay over the orange but it looked weird bad (like it didn't flow) so I'm thinking of painting the inside of the headlight housing either black or grayish (body paint) and for sure I'll get rid of the orange reflector, I'll do that in the next two weeks.

I just got some side mirror led covers the sakura ones so I'll be putting those on hopefully this week..

Those are some real nice rims, though maybe it's just the pictures, but, they don't seem to flow with the rest of the car too well, maybe they look too small

I think they flow OK. Very European look to them.

I absolutely love those wheels on the Belta; looks very, very Euro-Japanese. Mesh and multi-spoke wheels are the most popular styles in Japan. (I know most Americans are not into Japanese design road wheels; they like other styles, especially the weekend-racer wannabe look. So, don't be disappointed with some of the feedback).

And yes, the NETZ badge has gotta go! I'd authenticate the car with Toyota badges and either a Belta or Vios emblem.

I like the headlights, but the orange does look goofy.

Anyway, love the car with those wheels... best looking wheels on a Belta on this forum!



BTW, are the wheels 17x7's, and what's the offset?

I think they look great! I'm a mesh wheel fanboy though... I'm biased.

A very popular Japanese fitment!

Can't wait for you to post pics and report back to everyone how well it works out for you.

When do you think you'll get them (installed)?

Call me silly but I would love to see this tyle of wheel painted gleaming white, on a red LB... Kinda like those LM Porsches...

That is pretty much exactly what I plan on doing on my sedan. Looks great man, that gap seems just perfect for my taste with the nf's, I really dont want to go lower with df's. Can't wait till I do this to mine. So jealous right now :P

Nice bro... kind of a tc/audi look added. I'd be walking up to it looking for the BBS medallion, heh, heh, heh. Sharp.
