Default Stock look alike rims!

Ok so I went to the toyota dealership to get my oil changed and sat there for an hour or so. Infront of me were two yaris sedans with alloy rims that looked very similar to the hubcaps we have on the 06 xa's/xb's.

Now I went to tire rack to look for new rims that looked similar since the yaris rims weigh 22-24 pounds most likely and I wanted some lighter rims.

I found a set that look very stockish, and only weigh 17.0 lbs each.

Now the thing is the lug pattern is different than what it says the lug pattern is. On the actual rim it looks like 5 (obviously it has 5 holes...) but the description says 4x100.

So what do you guys think?

The pic is probably just a generic photo they use. Your biggest problem is going to be that their system says there are less then 3 of the wheels in stock....

Will it really say that? lol I'm gonna check, i'll give you an update.

But otherwise, what do you think about em? They look stock enough? I planning out everything I am going to buy before I buy an engine and build the block for my FI setup.

I already found a guy that will make custom axles, and I will be stiffening up the chasis alot.

Since the ITB scion tC route is apparently a fail, I am going to go all out FI with the 1nz-fe.

Im trying to build the ultimate sleeper hehe.

These only weigh 15.4 each, and they're cheaper...

wow ima get those. Thanks for looking around. They look stock-ish, yet they seem to show some aggressiveness. I like it.

And at 11.5 pounds...50mpg here we come before i get boosted lol.

Konig Feathers are great wheels for the price. Just watch out for pot holes.
