RIAX Seca 17x7 +42mm offset black with a polished lip.

Not the best rims on Earth, but I wanted to get a crap set of rims to beat on for my first set. If these hold up to my driving I'll spring for real rims a couple summers down the line.

Flame away.

brickhardmeat · 06-15-2007, 12:51 PM

After all that talk.

ChinoCharles · 06-15-2007, 12:56 PM

For the record, I still think it is the most played out look in cars. Doesn't mean I can't play too though.

Galavoxx · 06-15-2007, 01:02 PM

Whatever.

They will look good!!! I love mine, though paralell parking on the hills of san francisco has caused a couple of the rims to develop some sort of slight rash.

I haven't seen any in person but those rim protecting tires might be worth a look if you have any concerns.

RodimusPrime · 06-15-2007, 01:07 PM

Let's see them installed! What kind of rubber you putting on 'em? I've never been a big fan of going with a cheaper wheel. Seems to me that the paint will peel and flake right off, or it could go down to how the owner takes care of them.

ChinoCharles · 06-15-2007, 01:11 PM

I'm going to wrap them in Kuhmo Ecsta AST's c/o my good friend BlackYaris. It might be a few weeks before I have them installed. Depends on how my schedule looks. I don't expect them to flake or break down. I'm going to throw some snow tires on the steelies and only wear these in the warmer months, so they shouldn't get too messed up. I'm not too worried about them anyway. I bought cheap rims so I wouldn't cry if I messed one up!

RodimusPrime · 06-15-2007, 01:25 PM

Good choice. Ran those on a few different cars. Yep, I would do the same thing as well.

Congrats on your investment! I'm sure they'll look sick! :)

PetersRedYaris · 06-15-2007, 02:20 PM

Those will look sweet on your ride. Good choice on tires too. I wish I would have gotten the AST's instead of my ASX's as they're supposed to last longer. I just wanted the reduced weight I guess. Either way, I'm proud of you for getting 17's; they look far better than any other size on this car... And since this car is basically about looks and handling (because it's so slow) the weight of your new rims won't make any diffrence. Congrats!!!

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 06-15-2007, 03:53 PM

who cares what the wheels look like as long as their tucked in the wheel wells....

brickhardmeat · 06-15-2007, 05:37 PM

trash those center caps, the wheels look fine

you still getting the DF's?

largeorangefont · 06-15-2007, 06:13 PM

Wheels are wheels man. Unless that is a photoshop, your wheels are indeed real. Those look good.

*kimona* · 06-15-2007, 06:25 PM

I like those wheels! I even like the centercaps!

uncleyaris · 06-15-2007, 06:45 PM

we all cave in once and a while! i like them, post pics CC

joey1320 · 06-15-2007, 09:35 PM

nice lookinf wheels man. i would ride on those any day.
i may have some summer tires if interested. BFG KDW's 205/45/17...

redyaris · 06-15-2007, 10:01 PM

I would not dare criticize Chino for his wheel selection.

There are legends at Yarisworld, and he is one of them.

ChinoCharles · 06-15-2007, 10:49 PM

Thanks for all the kind words guys! These rims were $425 out the door with tax and everything. Killer deal if you ask me. I couldn't do Konigs, although I will be attending confessional on Sunday to repent for not buying from C2AUTO. I feel bad, but what are you gonna do? Everyone else... be cooler than me and buy from him.

I'll pull a Walter tomorrow and jack her up and give a sneak preview. In the next few months I'll be rocking smoked front and rear T badges, a smoked NCP91 badge, smoked modellista-ish tail lights, these black 17's, two new NST pulleys, a new SSK, and some Alpine type X speakers in the front. Should make the ride a lot more fun... if that is possible!

Can't wait to see the results... those rims should look just fine on your car, a little overplayed, maybe, yes, but the rest of the cosmetics should make up for it

hatchbackkid82 · 06-16-2007, 12:56 AM

Alright maybe I'm A lil' slow here....But why would you be a sell out? I think those rims look fine I was actually considering getting something like that for my car....like everyone else is saying wheels are wheels. If they're cheap and they look good great, more money for you to save for that turbo kit from ZPI. That's just how I see It
