Im keeping the stock wheels for winter/mot time. Il put up with a little light on. As long as it doesnt bleep at me. Got these on the way in 18" 7.5j (7-8kg dep on fitment).

My silver wheels go black every 5 days so I just bought black lol.

Wow have tyres got expensive. Found some 55 profile falken 914 ecoruns for £75. Im happy with a 6mm raise as this "coupe high rider" is hardly higher than an auris underneath and keep catching things on my squishy 60's.

Word of warning. If you hold the steering on full lock there is only maybe a 30mm gap on the inner side. Plus the outer face already looks close to the wing. So maybe this is why toyota refused to let me try other toyota wheels as a purchase after.

No wonder these standard alloys are so heavy. Toyota dont know what that red dot means.
So instead of mounting it by the valve as its the low spot of the tyre they have had to install a shed loads of weights.
Cant wait to be rid of them.

So my black wheels arrived with damage and are being returned now rota is out of stock for weeks lol. I found bronze for £600. I love bronze but dont think it will go with dark grey. Cant find one car online in my colour with bronze rotas. Might be a sign it doesnt go lol. what do you think?

I had to select a gold wheel but the actual colour is these on the left (apparently the one on the right is matte grey lol)

that makes two of us so far then ha ha. Ive got no style sense but I do think it looks a bit tacky. Wish I could get the exact colour on the demo thing thoughAlexr said:
