Headed to Carlsbad California Thursday to see the Scion iM "in the flesh".
They are having the unveiling on Wednesday the 12th, but he said it would still be there for me when I come. I should see it Friday morning.

Dealers here in AZ have scaled back arrival time to September at the earliest.

I found this pic on google image search. It was in a fr-s forum, but if I remember from a couple reviews it should look like this:

I'll have to check the news to see if there is anything covering this. Do tell us how it is especially if you are able to give it a test drive.

Thanks for letting us know.

Can you take a quick measure of the wheel's PCD?

I saw this in a review too, so that is what it will look like. I remember because the reviewer made a big deal on how premium it looked.

I'd love to do that for you. How do I do that exactly? Would that be the distance between the bolts measured across the center hub?

I think I will be able to test drive it, but I will have to check on that.

Keep the questions coming. I am writing them down and will ask them when I get there. I will checking my cellphone "live" at the dealer to see if more questions have come in.

Would be cool if they gave us a wallet key like what Lexus does since it's a small cost and easier to carry around as a back up.

I don't know if I can help you with that one. Sometimes dealers don't even know that.

Is it on that product information sheet you had? I am pretty sure it was 5x114 but I don't know if the thread size was in there.

@bicepeak @ToddMS

I found the info for the 2016 Auris 1.8 liter that sold in Europe. It shows same tire/rim size as the 2016 Scion iM. I assume the bolt pattern and thread size also the same too

Tire Rim Bolt pattern THD CB
225/45 R17 7Jx17 ET50 5x114.3 M12 x 1.5 60.1

No, Europe and US cars maybe different.

For example 2015 Corolla in US is 6.5Jx16 ET40 5x100 and in Europe it's 6.5Jx16 ET45 5x114.3

The Lexus CT 200h, which is also the same as the Auris, has 5x100
