Toyota Matrix Custom Wheels

The Matrix is based on the Corolla platform, as is its sister car, the Pontiac Vibe. The goal of both cars is similar: offer the interior functionality and flexibility usually associated with larger vehicles but in a compact package. It's part of a growing list of sporty and affordable five-door hatchbacks/wagons, including the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Ford Focus ZX5, Hyundai Elantra GT, Mazda Protege5, Suzuki Aerio SX, Subaru Impreza 2.5 TS wagon, Volkswagen Jetta wagon and new-for-2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback. Unlike previous wagon variants of the Corolla sedan (last seen as the DX wagon in 1996), the Matrix stands tall -- 5 inches taller than the 2003 Corolla -- and this gives the cabin a spacious feel, not unlike a Chrysler PT Cruiser. This also allows it to accommodate adults comfortably in the backseat. On the outside, the Matrix has a more angular front fascia, including its own grille, headlights and taillights. And while the Corolla has a traditional, smooth-bodied profile, the Matrix benefits from an artisan's chisel, as a gentle valley breaks up the abyssal slab-side with an S-shaped character line flowing below it. Climb into the cockpit, and one can't help but fixate on the large amount of conspicuously faux aluminum on the dash and doors -- not the "brushed effect" stuff in the Celica but a more youthful, sparkly version. Neither this nor the hard plastic dash and door panels gives the cabin an upscale feel; soft-touch surfaces are nonexistent, unless you count the two-tone mesh upholstery on the seats. However, with the added help of individually sunken gauges with electroluminescent red lighting and bright chrome rings, the overall look is certainly distinctive and sure to get the attention of buyers drawn to bright colors. In lieu of a wagonizing cargo box, designers gave it an abridged rear (it's about 7 inches shorter than the Corolla sedan), such that it is essentially a hatchback and isn't likely to turn away younger buyers. The trade-off, of course, is cargo capacity -- the Matrix might offer a taller load area, but its 21.8 cubic feet of capacity with the rear seats up and 53.2 cubic feet with the seats folded are still less than "true" wagons, like the Volkswagen Jetta, provide. In sum, however, we're convinced that the Matrix would be a satisfying choice for many people -- it rides comfortably; it handles capably enough; it has plenty of room in the backseat for your friends (or your kids); and it provides a lot of flexibility for those whose interests require a lot of equipment. The Matrix is about getting your friends and cargo to your destination with minimal hassle, discomfort and expense along the way and perhaps enjoying a tailgate party once you get there

We strive to continually bring you the largest selection of custom wheels and discount tires in the nation at the lowest prices. Not only do we offer award-winning customer service but we also have a skilled staff of technicians waiting to serve you with your custom wheel purchase. Our warehouses sell our rims at savings up to 70% off of list prices and 30% less than our retail outlets. You can rest assured knowing that all wheel and tire package fitments are verified with our technicians before ever leaving our warehouse. Unless your car has been modified, all fitments are calculated off of the stock specifications set forth for your vehicle. We use plus-sizing techniques to match up your new wheels to stay as close to factory stock heights. In laymen\'s terms, you wheel gets bigger and your tire gets smaller. If you are hesitant about a wheel and tire package purchase, allow us to mount and balance the set and deliver it to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. We use state-of -the-art hunter mounting and balancing equipment. When mounting we use chrome valve-stems, stick-on weights, and road-force balancing equipment. We shrink-wrap and package the aftermarket wheels thoroughly for shipping. All wheels and tires are insured during transit. If you are ordering wheel spinner adaptors, they are generally shipped separately from the wheel for safety reasons. While we rely on our repeat business from satisfied customers, we are always looking for new customers to add to our growing wheel clientele. Do not settle for one of these fly-by-night companies on the internet that will nott be able to promise what they deliver or provide service to you after the sale because they are no longer around. We have been around for years and we plan on being around for many more years to serve our customers. Just give us a call on our toll-free number!!
