That does look pretty good^^^^^^^

Gideon, do you have more pics like that? That's hot. I was thinking of doing the racing wheel moon covers, but yours is a nice alternative to the idea.

NJBob · 02-15-2009, 02:09 PM

I like RYU's 3d pic and Gideon's right on with the trim rings.

Black Yaris · 02-15-2009, 02:13 PM

paint the stock covers.... it is cheep and easier than masking off your wheel to paint them

I vote for hot pink wheel covers

Gideon's Vitz looks great!

Wow, that is nice!

That's exactly what I'll do I think... but where do you get thoes parts?

PHXDEMON · 02-15-2009, 06:43 PM

Get a set of these wheels.

Klink10 · 02-15-2009, 06:46 PM

Yea I like Gideons and remember seeing them along time ago. Again wax to shine and check Advance, Auto Zone or the other big name here in NC for Honda lug nuts...they were like a 1.50 apiece. Honda parts wanted 6.50 apiece. Trim rings not to sure of.

Here's a few more before I installed my DFs:

The trim rings you can pick up at any auto store. I got two for free from an America's Tire Company. They sometimes keep old trim rings after people purchase new rims. The other two I bought for around $30 at Kragen's.

The centercaps are from NAPA, from the balkamp catalog #730-2411. They're very cheap, like $2 for a two pack or something I can't recall. They don't fit snugly though, so what I used was some sticky tape for emblems and outside automotive trim pieces and coated the inside with it to close the gap. They fit very well and stayed on for several hundred miles at high speed, until I swapped rims and tires.

Yes, trim rings and center caps is definitely the way to go in lieu of alloys. Nice set-up Gideon!

Actually, I think it looks better than some alloys I've seen!

Gideon FTW, that rocks, best treatment of stock wheels ever.

*kimona* · 02-17-2009, 08:58 AM

I think Toyota should take note here: Drop the plastic wheel covers, sell the Yaris with steel wheels, trim rings, centre caps, and chrome lugs, and offer factory alloy wheels as an option.

DO NOT ROCK TRIM RINGS ON SALTY ROADS
won't last a single day. seriously. not even a day.
well. maybe a day. if you cleaned them afterward. but not two.

I painted my hubcaps matte black. And then i put red lining around the edges. It looks pretty cool to me. Tell me what you think...
