I had these on my last car... 20-spoke 16's with 205/55WR16 Potenza RE960's
The wheels are OEM from a 2001 Neon R/T... I know... pretty sad putting Crapslinger wheels on a Scion... bolt pattern is the same & offset is pretty close... but I paid less for all four wheels than it cost to remount the tires to swap the TPMS sensors

Pumpkin...did you put a rear disk mod on? It looks like there is a orange or red caliper in rear. Either that or you painted the drum. I cant wait for a big brake kit. Nothing looks better than a open wheel that shows off some nice calipers behind it.

That would be nice, you know, the yaris got a conversion kit already. BLAH.
I just painted the drms to see what it looks like. It looks alright to me.

Just got new wheels for my 'D, broke a wheel on a pothole with my last set and couldn't get a replacement. These look very similar to my first set.

See, now those are the first pics of an RS1 I've seen that look more like the actual color of the car, rather than all these vividly bright red-orange things I see posted everywhere...

^to tell you the truth, the car is actually covered in a film of dust/road salt/dirt LOL
just look at the rear window!
But i guess it all depends on the lighting...

Yes, but I think it's mainly due to the parking lot lighting in the picture...
When I first saw an RS1 in person, I was actually somewhat disappointed, because I thought it WAS a vivid red-orange color, from all the photos I was seeing online... but in actuality, it's just a burnt-orange color similar to all the other burnt-orange colored cars out there on the road... still a nice color, but not the "wow!" color I was expecting...
And now I hear the xD RS2 color is going to be a light green?... yuk...
