2007 Hyundai Accent Wheels Installed
I picked up a set of wheels today for $200.00 CAD. They will need to be refinished. They'll get the full treatment: sand, filler, primer, 2K base coat and 2K clearcoat. After comparing these to the stock wheels (which I do love), I ask myself why Toyota didn't go with a narrower spoked 16" wheel in the first place. Major bonus: the tires are a medium quality tire (General Evertrek 205/50R16) and the have more than 80% tread remaining! This saves me about $600.00 - $700.00.

Crazy, eh? Thanks! I picked them up this afternoon, cleaned them up a bit and bolted 2 of them on. I may sneak out for a bit tomorrow and start sanding. I'm actually going to deflate the tires, pull them off the bead a bit and paint them with the tires on. Not ideal, but it'll save me having to get them remounted and balanced. If I can't get under the bead a bit with the paint, they'll get removed.

What a deal and look fantastic. For the most part, Hyundai has always had nice factory alloys.

Thanks Gents! I'm having a blast working on the wheels. Here are a few pics. These wheels were badly scratched and gouged. However, Hyundai really laid the primer and clear coat on thick. As such, I managed to get rid of about 80 - 90% of the scratches and dings with just sanding. It had some curb rash, but also got that all sanded smooth. The wheel below will require two small dabs of body filler, shaping and sanding. I'm confident that these will look very close to factory in finish when I'm done. I haven't decided yet if I'll buy some 2K epoxy primer or use spray can lacquer and let it cure for a week or so before sanding and applying base coat and clearcoat (both will be 2K urethane).
I'll add more pic as I go... I just test fitted the Toyota cap. Perfect fit, snaps right in and is very secure. Both Toyota and Hyundai wheels have the exact same hub bore and internal machining.

Accent Wheel Primer
Applied 3 layers of high build primer. There is only one spot that needs a little filler, shaping and sanding. The way the wheels are designed, it's easy to get paint up under the lip. No need to remove tires! Yay! I brought them into our basement as it was getting cold out.

I agree with 16x7 as mentioned by sir @kimona! I tried 2 sets of 17s. 17x7.5 wheels and another set of 17x7. Both are on 205/45/17 tires. The wheels are spot on and look great filling the wheel well of the yaris. My worry is 17s tend to be heavier for the power of the engine. My goal is to improve driving dynamics more than looks so I decided to decrease the size of the wheels but still maintaining 205 tires. Again same advice with sir @kimona! I went with 16x7 wheels with 205/50/16 tires. And i’m really glad with the setup and ride! I can push the yaris a little further for driving enjoyment!
Here is my Gen2 Yaris (2012) on RS2 bumpers. TRD T3 16x7 wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 205/50/16 tires. I’m lowered on Eibach ProKits. Last edited by kappa_md; 04-13-2020 at 09:14 AM. |

Your 16s wheels looks really great! It looks OEM and it’s like it came out stock from the factory! Enjoying to see your build! Keep it up bro!

Can you tell me a little bit about your brakes? I see you have drilled and slotted rotors. What brand are they and what pads are you running? Also, where can I find more pics of your car?

I upgraded my front rotors with a bit larger diameter but still using stock OEM calipers. They are drilled & slotted rotors and are called Runstop brakes from Thailand. I was told they also produce OEM stock rotors for Toyotas since our cars are manufacured there. I changed my brake pads to Brembo oem disc pads at front. Still on stock drum brakes at the rear. But i also replaced my brakelines front and rear to steel braided ones and used Brembo dot brake fluids.
Yup the PS4 tires are really good tires! I’ve been using them on my 2 other Toyotas and it’s a blast! I didn’t want the Yaris to be left behind and luckily they have PS4 specs i needed. They are suprisingly good when i tested these tires on track.

Thanks for the info. That is one beautiful car you have there. I looked today at pads again and will probably go with the Hawks. Do you have a part number for those oversized rotors?

Thank you so much sir! Really appreciate it. I’m really thankfuk to YW for all the information and tips i get from alot of yaris/vitz enthusiasts. I’m really enjoying the Yaris. I can’t imagine letting it go. Such a fun little car. Toyotas are said to be boring but i really disagree. You just have to tinker in and out to make them fun yet still reliable! The website is down below. I also posted the part number of the front brake rotors. Cheers and stay safe!

The rotor comes with a different bracket but the stock caliper is the same. Brake pads are also the same size, but probably it’s good to get better compound. It can handle size 15s wheels according to the website but i think it’s stretching it a bit. The 16s is better for clearances imho. All in all there’s marked improvement in brake feel since i’m driving the yaris into it’s limits. One thing i observed with slotted and/or drilled rotors is that, braking power remains the same with blanks, but brake fade is far less with those slotted and drilled. Probably you can notice it during track days but hardly as street use.

looks good, are you doing something more interesting than silver?
i've run most of the wheel/tire sizes. actually, we were in fredericton, nb when we bought our 2007 CE. came with factory 14's. "crandall" also lived in freddy beach and he ran 17's. HUGE difference in acceleration and braking between 14's and 17's (17's made the car accelerate slower and you had to press the brake pedal harder to stop (never did a true "versus" brake test, just me driving his car)) I eventually stayed with a 15x7 and a 205-50-15 on my yaris...comfort and handling. 205-50-16 are a bit tall vs your OEM tire, no?
