Not my car but going for a set of these, JP SL01 in Gun Metal and 8.5 x 18.
They look brilliant
My sets of wheels were black and white when new and they will eventually end up in the same colourI'm going to go for a wheel colour, closest to brake dust. That'll cut down on the maintenance.
WRC cars have 225 section tyres on 8” wide rims.wider tires....8x18 is very small at that car. you can easily fit 255 or 265....thats the reason for me. i switch to 9x18 rims. 8x18 with 225 looks like a golf and not a rally car. there´s so much room for bigger tires
Which one is it? Superturismo WRC Classic or Evolutione? And do you know the weight? OZ sais 13 kg, cant believe that...For that genuine Rally pedrigree look

WRC Evoluzione I’ll check. It’s a bit heavier from the stock BBS forged wheels but I did’t seem to notice added unsprung weight while drivingWhich one is it? Superturismo WRC Classic or Evolutione? And do you know the weight? OZ sais 13 kg, cant believe that...
These are with the center lock dummies, isn't it?For that genuine Rally pedrigree look

Indeed. Did the same. And to be honest, a real center lock is only really necessary when quite often changing the wheels. Like with regularly track days. I am switching wheels two times the year or when doing some work on the car. So don't really need it. But the looks of a center lock is really good. I like the harmonic centralised look of it. But I think I will stick to some conventional 5 bolts.I looked at some classy centrelock wheels with adapters but they were staggered and the offset would have been problematic and the 255/35 vs 225/40 would have raised eyebrows at Toyota. Plus with the adapters the weight was higher than the Oz wheels.
Yes. The centerlock is for design only, underneath it has the 5 lugnuts. The Evoluzione is truly designed for the modern day rally cars like the GR Yaris. I also looked at the retro non-Evoluzione version, but the white is more off in relation to the color white of the GRY body. And also, I would say the Evoluzione is more period correct. I thought of taking out the centerlock design which is an option for a cleaner look.These are with the center lock dummies, isn't it?
I was also thinking about them. But I guess I'll take the normal 5 ones. After all it is a road car. But I am not sure.
In rally they got 5s as well. Center lock is more circuit oriented, or am I wrong?
