Pretty much all of the 86 wheels fit on the Corolla, same bolt pattern, similar macstruts design. Speed Academy put on 18x9.5+40 with coilovers iirc. I bet it's not any different for the Yaris.

Eh I don't mind them, 80s/90s chunky durable rally style wheels, I'd probably go gold though on a white or black car, white wheels might work with the red paint, or if they used that light blue that they put on all the press Rolla Hatchbacks.

The sparco's are cheaper then the oz's iirc


The annoying thing is that so many of the wheels aimed at budget warmed over economy cars don't come wider then 8" or maybe 8.5" gimme 9's and 10's goddamnit, I'll cut the damn fenders if I have to. At least for the corolla and yaris they can steal 86 wheels, other brands aren't so lucky (lookin' at you Mini/BMW)

People from the UK have a reason to be happy. Apparently the first boat from Japan with cars is on its way. Multiple people have been told their cars are among them. The estimated arrival is somewhere around early-mid November.

Im so happy right now because just this morning I got an E-Mail with a Status Update from from Toyota. My car is in Production
Im in Germany so this should also be good news for all the people in LHD countries. We apparently don't have to wait long either.

Strange that its top speed is same with 86/BRZ at 230km/h. Does it have a speed limiter or very bad drag coefficient (Cd) with square frontal area?

Electronically limited. My Yaris GRMN has the same

Ugh I yearn for this car in the States. I'll even take a Corolla Hatchback with that front bumper, and same engine and drivetrain as the Yaris

Second car, so the 86 can be a project so I don't need to worry about daily driving it.

Oh come on, don't you just love the old vintage rally look? How have you not seen that design so much that you are not immune to the looks? So many wheel companies put out something similar.

The white wheels on an off-white car doesn't look good, and sometimes these style wheels don't match the car, but they don't look bad to me in context.
