Man I’m loving the in depth details in your content AJ - learning lots from your life in motorsports✊appreciate your efforts of explaining the defails. Beautiful wheels. Love the wheel nuts, the engineering is beautiful. Looking forward to see them on your car - Chris✊✊
Really nice looking wheels. Love those lugs and centre rings ! I'm going to purchase a set of those. I had considered those wheels for some time, but in the end fitted WedsSport TC105X 18x8.5J et 43. 7.5 kg. Wrapped in Yoko Advan A052 235/40/18. Altogether 600g lighter than OEM and only +6mm closer to the fender compared to OEM too. For road use, I find it to be a huge improvement in grip, more than enough anyway, and still remains very agile and look very good on the car to my opinion. The ODO speed has become equal to GPS speed so need to be very careful when passing speed radars.
Thankyou for sharing this input! Yes, both options are great and remember the discount code when you purchase them from Wiborg! The change in grip is very noticeable, I was not expecting that much!
Not bad wheels. Right now I'm running racing division 9" width with 245 ad09. This set of 9.5" sounds interesting when I will want to switch to 265 tyres.
AJ, any sense of installing wider wheels on stock suspension? Would be nice also to understand why you haven't chosen 18x9J with 245. Great video and thanks as always!
Hello Alexey, On stock suspension I would not advise to change the wheels, the upgrade order for me is: - front suspension arms from Wiborg - rear arms from Cusco or Verkline - coilovers - wheels 8.5J is a measure that works well both with 225/40 and 235/40, both tires that I have homologation for. Also, if you go wider, you transform it into a track car, loosing most of the chassis playfulness
@@PIRASMotorsport As I live in Japan, my car was prepared by Yokohama Advan and G-Force (it is prepared for GRIP). I have 16,000 Km, making it one of the fastest GR Yaris in Japan Touge and touge circuits like Nikko, Hero Shinoi or Gunsai. There are no issues with the package (no rubbing or touching). Just in case, these are the settings: Camber F = - 3.0° R = - 2.2° Toe F = OUT 0.5 mm R = OUT 1.0 mm Caster F = + 6.4° Scrub Radius = + 8 mm Ride Hight F = - 15 mm (from OEM) R = - 15 mm (from OEM) The suspensions are HKS Hypermax R.
@@massimo I understand now! They have prepared the car as a package, taking in account for the smaller sidewall thru the suspension, of course it can work like that! :-) Well done, enjoy. I would like to visit when I come to Japan, and I will - hopefully in the next 6 months!
Yes mate, the world is what it is now! And its very hard to beat the economies of scale and R&D of these huge companies, that is why BBS has been in a tight spot for years now, unfortunately
I didn't know Konig wheels are that good. On the other hand, those OZ Racing ones, on their rally cars, are gorgeous. They must be unethically expensive though, supposing that OZ will sell them to you.
Exactly! OZ makes a magnesium variant the now sell to public, but the cost is crazy and measures 9J, that is too wide for the road and too narrow for the track. These Hypergram’s are incredible!
OZ in wrc1 has absolutely nothing to do with mainstream rims. I add that OZ lives on its brand image but it is no more absolute of the premium rim. Cinel is a very good brand also they have the wrc2 rims are really but too heavy for the Yaris and the support of the voice changes a lot. Konig is super alternative quality soundness price. After there is Rays but prices after imports are diseliminating too many intermediaries taking a ticket in the process.
The wheels are great but the fitment options for a GR Yaris are subpar. One of the reasons I like your channel is that you don't push the track racing, low riding, hard sprung setup but those wheels are going in that direction. So I pass.
Actually mate, I have just got back home from test driving the 8.5J ET35 R18 wheels, and I can tell you that you loose nothing in playfulness but do gain a noticeable amount of grip coming from 8J ET32 R18 that I was running before. Also, only about 0.5Kg lighter (have to personally verify the previous rim's weight) the car takes bumps better and feels more nimble. I'm here to do the sweating for you and report back, while trying to bring good deals to all Subscribers.
If you are using coilovers, no issues of clearance. If you are not yes, and also the car would be unbalanced and hooked to the tires, with not enough force in the suspension

They do look real quality, looking foreward as said to the update with these on your car👍
Regards Russ 🙏
Thankyou Russ, coming up as soon as the weather improves!! 💪🏼
Today I'll be installing wiborg control arms and will test in track this weekend.
Great mate, please send me some feedback: ideally a short video were you share your impressions, I could embed it in future video update
@@PIRASMotorsport Will do!
Not bad wheels. Right now I'm running racing division 9" width with 245 ad09. This set of 9.5" sounds interesting when I will want to switch to 265 tyres.
They are among the best solutions, and in my opinion the best for the price, even before my discount!
Looking forward to seeing these on the car AJ
Very soon Adam!
What offset (ET) works for the 17x9J rims to clear the calipers?
Please send an email to Wiborg for this!

Hello Alexey,
On stock suspension I would not advise to change the wheels, the upgrade order for me is:
- front suspension arms from Wiborg
- rear arms from Cusco or Verkline
- coilovers
- wheels
8.5J is a measure that works well both with 225/40 and 235/40, both tires that I have homologation for. Also, if you go wider, you transform it into a track car, loosing most of the chassis playfulness
I use 19” x 9J [offset +35mm] forged with 275/30 ZR19 tyres (on all 4 wheels)
This is a fitment I would not recommend, firstly because on such a small sidewall, then because of the tightness of packaging
@@PIRASMotorsport As I live in Japan, my car was prepared by Yokohama Advan and G-Force (it is prepared for GRIP). I have 16,000 Km, making it one of the fastest GR Yaris in Japan Touge and touge circuits like Nikko, Hero Shinoi or Gunsai. There are no issues with the package (no rubbing or touching).
Just in case, these are the settings:

The suspensions are HKS Hypermax R.

Sounds like a great setup!@@massimo
@@massimodo you have any videos of this yaris build or touge runs?
I didnt know, so many well known wheel brands are owned by this chinese Company!😅
Leaves good old BBS , which is owned by KW Suspensions🎉
Nice Video:)
They don't ! They distribute Enkei and OZ but don't own them .
Yes mate, the world is what it is now! And its very hard to beat the economies of scale and R&D of these huge companies, that is why BBS has been in a tight spot for years now, unfortunately

why not 18 x 9 J with 235 or 245 tires for daily
Because the width is too much and you loose sharpness of response
@@PIRASMotorsport do you mean 235 is too wide ?
@@陳喜美-r9rI mean the rim is too wide for that tire width, to have sharp response. 245 on 9 starts to be ok
I would have gotten them if it weren't that the 9,5" are et45 and I would need spacers when using camber bolts.
If you are using coilovers, no issues of clearance. If you are not yes, and also the car would be unbalanced and hooked to the tires, with not enough force in the suspension
@@PIRASMotorsport using superhard drift tyres, then it's ok
Nice wheels
Perfect 🎉🎉🎉thx
Pleasure mate!
