Hey, if I had the face and comfort level to do vlogging on complete bullshit that is guaranteed to draw thousands of views with ad impressions to make money, I'd be doing it too. :drool:

The wheels look the same to me, what is the difference?

The Yaris, I believe runs Enkei? These look the same..

Yeap, even with my glasses on they look the same.

Old and confused....

The wheels remind me the factory 16" Enkei, but this time in a 18" version and with different spokes. Too bad the brakes remain the same. I usually expect bigger brakes with bigger wheels.

would be nice if the calipers come coloured like most sports cars.

Definitely needs a BBK, isn't that the whole reason for larger rims.

To me it looks POV to have big wheels with little brakes, I swapped out 19's for 17's on my current ride for 2 reasons, 1 is they are stupid and comprimise ride quality, and the other is they look stupid without brakes to suit.

Did I mention I was an opinionated arsehole??????

I prefer to think of them as Lexus and Mercedes tires since they use them as well.

It is as always with people mentioning about the Prius tires. See the glass half empty instead of half full.

Yep. The stock Primacy are a high grade premium tire. Just because they happen to be used on one top trim Prius people seem to think they are junk.
The funny part is that if the car came with PS4S tires most people would still change them out for "better" ones. It is human nature to want to "improve" things that are not broken.

I was thinking of doing a cooking/baking channel on youtube, but my kitchen looks like grandma's from the 70s. :/

Meh. If they are brembos then sure.

The base/standard brakes are ugly. I would at least appreciate a more durable coating though. They look like rusty piles of shit after a couple of winters.

? my '14 calipers are still shiny!

Can’t say I ever even really noticed them with the stock wheels on the FRS since they could hardly be seen.
Even brand new they are one of my two complaints on the Hakone. They look like bloody blinkin’ beacons through the bronze wheels with the wider gaps between spokes.

Mine weren’t exactly shiny after 5 enters but they weren’t horrible either.

Even with salt?
The outter caliper didn't show rust but the coating was worn out and had a uneven finish. The inner half of the caliper was starting to show corrosion.


I notice the calipers more with the newer wheels.
I'm a fan of black. It's clean to look at but also invisible to the eye and doesn't draw attention.

They were grungy bot not awful. I did give them a quick brush off every spring which may have helped.
I was going to paint the new ones black but just sort of got used to them and I hardly even notice anymore.
