[Q]Myvi 1.5 se Rims

[vr2turbo]

Well that's the thing, IMHO going for performance and looks should be together, not trade-off each other. Form has to follow function first. Looks are also so subjective and superficial. IMHO cars that uses too big rims are actually damn ugly anyway cause they look out of proportion with the body size already! Not to mention the puny size brakes which become more obvious and gaping when using such big rims. IMHO a Myvi with 15' looks way2 much better than those with 17', and cannot imagine how ugly & stupid an 18' will look on it!

As for comfort, well people have different level of comfort/tolerance. Some can tolerate more, some not so. I personally would not go below 10cm sidewall height cause I had used before a 195/50 (9.75cm sidewall) for several years and just had enough of it and will never go to that level again. Initially might seems not so bad since the tires were still in new condition and hence softer, but starting on the 2-3rd yrs they became more uncomfortable. So I think 10cm sidewall is about the borderline, unless tire technology can improve more and more and defy the laws of physics to make thin tires but still comfortable.

Yes, I will go for looks and performance at the same time, means upgrade rims and increase tyre wide with lower profile but to an extent. But I have seem many buying nice expensive rims then fit the cheapest tyre possible, or even second hand tyres....:hmmmm:

Yes, many2 times I've seen that too, expensive cars using big ass expensive rims but then wait a minute, what the heck is the brand of the tires on it?? Some unknown weird name which I've never even heard before! 2nd hand tires might not be so bad if still quite new and from good quality ones, sometimes also people just change the rims cause they're bored but the tires they're already using are good ones and still have a long way to go. But using el cheapo unknown tires while having the money to buy those rims just beats me! People should realize the tires are actually MORE important than the rims! I'm the other way around, I bought used Japan rims but gotta have new good tires, of course within my very thin, limited poor budget!

If use back own tyres then okay, but some really pay premium price for the best rims, especially when they upgrade to really huge rims, then ask shop for second hand tyres......

Read again when u calm down.

No one even kutuk about Myvi, we are all talking about the size of rims on the cars and not only Myvi was stated here alone. You're over-reacting just because the word Myvi came out. Ya, there are threads that talk about Myvi or any cars at all. Is their own Point of View on certain mods where some find is a waste of money or unnecessary. Is their right to give their comments and is your right on how u want to mod your car. That's right.

Ya is their money, and in the forum is also their fingers, thoughts or mouth to say what they want. Most important is the owner of the car are happy with what they are doing. Why bother what others said? Is all up to you whether to accept that POV and if u dun like it just ignore. If u dun agree, and find it worth it, then just stick to what u r currently doing with your car.

Personal preferences. No one is looking down on anyone.

on my opinion, the maximum u can go is 17" with 7"~7.5" JJ the most. but the FC will affected. unless u mod some performance upgrade.. peace..

Yup, forum is a place for discussion. Whether good or not, positive or negative, it is the personal view of that person. If you think it is good, take it up. If not, just read and forget what he/she is talking about.
There are also mod that can be a waste of $$$, therefore if some have done before, they can be saying negative things about it, so it is actually good to know about it and not go into it blindly...

can anyone tell me about myvi 1.5 stock rims size? and the weight of each rim?

and can myvi 1.5 fit 18'' rims? 18x8jj,offset 42,5x114.3

I actually know someone with extreme engine mods for a Myvi running on 18". Rolled fenders and mudguards is a must and you can't fit 5x114.3 on a Myvi. The offset 42 is fine. I don't think you can plug and play any Toyota wheel hub on a Myvi so it might not be worth the trouble to fit this rim of yours on your Myvi.

Incidentally though, that guy I know when he goes on track and all, he swaps the 18" for the 15" he has. Better acceleration performance.

You'll need to find 4x100 and offset about 40 to 42 max if you want to go large with the rims. I recommend no larger than 16" though.

last time i saw 1 alza with rota 17x9 5 holes woo... and even install aristo's 4 pot brake.. i'm not very sure how fast this alza. or just for cosmetic..

With 195/45R16 is same diameter with original tyres, but tyres very very little choice.
With 205/45R16, no problem only 1.34% bigger

If want 17" still can, keep offset within wheel arch and use 205/40R17, but should be hell of bumpy....
