These are only 7.5 inches wide and high offest.  And people would take the **** out of Ravs Engineering (ok well I would if I saw a car with em).  Probably best left alone imho.

have a butchers at //www.performancealloys.com
the prices seem prtty cool, and they do have the most extensive range I\'ve ever seen online.  I\'ve used them twice, and the wheels came quickly, and with all required fittings and the tyres fitted and balanced correctly.

I have a set of 17"   "ravs Vork" wheels on my Yaris.

They were a huge performance downgrade cause they are so F&^%$King Heavy. With a small car like that you notice the weight.

Advice = Get real ones.
