I picked up my new wheels from FIVE:AD today. I chose the R6:F, 18X7.5 with a +45 offset. I'll be mounting them as soon as I pick out a set of tires and get my body kit back from the paint shop. For now they are safely stored in my garage.

Very nice! I am planning to get the same ones too. 18" gunmetal.
Nice rims there. Plenty of time to get some good sealant/wax on them for protection.

I love these wheels, great choice, glad to see your going about modifying your iQ the "clean" way. What are are the two bolt patterns on those wheels?
iQtuner is correct. 4X100 & 4X114. They also offer them in 5X100 & 5X114.
Well throw me dOwn aNd call me bErNiece,OFF THE HOOK!!!
Does iQ have TPMS?? If so... do you have to take the stock ones out and put them in the new ones?
As OE fit, not the iQ doesn't.

Mine does, don't all new cars have to have TPMS by law in the US?
From Wikipedia
In the United States, the Firestone recall in the late 1990s (which was linked to more than 100 deaths from rollovers following tire tread-separation), pushed the Clinton administration to legislate the TREAD Act. The Act mandated the use of a suitable TPMS technology in all light motor vehicles (under 10,000 pounds), to help alert drivers to severe under-inflation events. This act affects all light motor vehicles sold after September 1, 2007. Phase-in started in October 2005 at 20%, and reached 100% for models produced after September 2007. In the U.S., as of 2008 and the EU, as of 2012, all new models of passenger cars must be equipped with a TPMS.
The iQ does have TPMS but I didn't move the sender units over to the new wheels. The valve stems are rather ugly and I don't need the system. I'm currently searching for a solution to the indicator light. A friend at Toyota says he can disable the system for forty bucks.
