My gf has an 08 Yaris 2 door hatch and wants snow tires. I recommend she does what I did with my WRX/STi and get a separate set of cheap steelies so it's easy on and off for the winter season and cheaper then paying for mounting/balancing every year. Are these common steel rims found on most cars(for whatever the bolt pattern is) or specific to yaris? Honestly I'm just going the cheapest route possible without being stupid.

They're fairly common. The 15" size is 15x5 with a +45 offset. Not 100% sure on the 14s, but I believe they're 14x5 with +45, too.

yaaa, 14's are available via Tire Rack, but not the 15's.

14" Firestone Winterforces, studded, mounted to steel wheels with wheel covers from TireRack. $560 to the door.

Couldn't be happier. Car is awesome in the snow.

By the time you try to get 4 good wheels from a yard and pay extra for mount and balance, I think direct from TireRack has paid for itself. I believe wheels were $38 a piece.

I just got my rims put on today, I have the original steelies in the boxes, without a scratch on any of them if you want.
