Most aftermarket wheels come in silver, gray, black, chrome/machined style. Any of those would go good with grey colored cars imo. I think it comes down to the style of wheel in your case. Unless you have some kinda extreme color in mind such as green or orange, things out of the ordinary. My pick would be a nice silver wheel, but youre not interested in that.

Also I noticed your lb has a boo boo :'( What happened?

No, not an extreme color. I saw some black rims the other day with a red lip..they wont work on my car but it was tempting.


Some guy opened the door and hit my car in the parking :(

I think either a black or gunmetal would look swell, maybe a chrome lip if you go with the black color...

I have a set of SSR 16 x 7 Type C - gun metal - that would rock your car.

Will ship to Lebanon.

Either those SSRs (those were my first choice when I was wheel-shopping, but didn't find them here), or bronze FTW

Those do look amazing on my car, that's for sure..but not sure if I can afford SSR's right now. Some effects of being a university student I fear.

Would need a drop for sure. It's funny how higher the car looks in pictures..in real life I barely notice how high the car is sitting.

Yeah I understand. I just got used rims/tires for mine for $250. I'm not really picky on brand, especially with all of the potholes around here. I'll end up bending whatever I buy.

Nah..plus we rarely get originals shipped into the country, unless you're aiming to pay a leg. Most rims here are fake..i bought 18's for my BMW, cost me 400$ for the set hehe, and they look alright mind you. But I don't want that for my yaris :thumbdown:

Ah. My rims are so cheap they don't even have a brand. Just says 'Made in Taiwan' on the back. =)

The tires are nice though, Bridgestone Potenza's.

I got bridgestone Potenza's as well :) They came stock.

My stock Yaris tires are Goodyears. Which is kind of cool because I live about 45 minutes from the Goodyear plant. =)

Check out discounttiredirect.com. They got some really cheap wheels. You can preview most of the wheels on your yaris at their website too to give you an idea of how it will look.

Also check out tirerack.com. Not only do they have some pretty cheap wheels, but most of them are pretty darn light. They also have a preview of mounted wheels on your car.

Did that eii, but if not those SSR's then I'll stick to something local.
