I got some new wheels!!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

2006fronty · 04-22-2009, 03:39 AM

I picked up a set of bronze Konig Runaway's (I know knockoff wheels suck haha) from JLB Motorsports. I'm going to put them on the Yaris in the next couple of days, but I'm still debating which lowering springs to get (TRD or Eibach???) and if I should get new tires. I think these wheels look 100x better than the wheels I have now. Here's a pic of my Yaris with my current wheels.

and here are the new wheels

They should look awesome, I love my twin spoke rims in that same color!

How much for your current wheels?

What are the specs on your current wheels/tires?

Well, at least they're not Rotas.

No worries, I was just razzin' the OP. However you do have Rotas which are copies of a MUGEN wheel.

My current wheels are gloss black Konig Renegades 15x6.5 38mm offset (Advan RGII knock offs.) I might have a local buyer for $175 for the wheels only, but I still need the stock tires until I figure out what tire I'm going to run. If that falls through I'll post a for sale ad here for $175 plus shippping. BTW, My wife barely curbed one of the wheels, its really small though and not very noticeable.

I'm really into that simple 6-spoke design (one of my favorites), but I still think the new set will look badass.

HAHA, I'm going to run them without centercaps too!!!!

As much as I would like to have the real RE30's, I can't see spending that much on wheels for my pretty much stock Yaris.

2006fronty · 04-25-2009, 06:00 PM

Its like my car is wearing 4 striped Adidas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006fronty · 04-29-2009, 09:37 PM

I'm about to get tires tomorrow, either Nitto Neo Gens 205-50-15 or Falken 912 195-60-15. The Falkens are $176 for 4, and the Nittos are $245 per set.
Which ones should I get???

195 60 15 is really tall..

and 205 50 is short.

why not 205 55 ?

You mention in post #1 that you're going to lower. Decide which springs and then choose a tyre size. Remember, size will also depend on the wheel offset.

With the Nitto 205-50's would the .83 smaller diameter be a problem? I'm going to lower it pretty soon. I didn't even notice Falken had a 205 55
