etc.

What he said, although I would bet most of them are returning them to stock to sell them.

However some people go back to stock wheels for the winter as well, because salt and snow are not good for fancy wheels.

Are you afraid of modifying your car? Is that why you're asking these questions? Do what you want, everyone else does. People add and sell parts all the time. It's not just a Yaris thing, it's a mod thing. People do things that they like, and no one else does. Then you do things that are not so great, but everyone else digs. Bottom line: Do what you want to do.

I have only had my 17s on for about 3 months and I will be taking them off for the winter however I may even sell them over the winter so that I can pick up some light weight 15s as they are better to have performance-wise...

Modified cars are difficult to sell. Most want OEM and likely fear a modded car has had the snot run out of it.
Better payback to remove and sell aftermarket parts (which add no value at car sale) and then sell the car in OEM condition for a wider market.

NOTE: most Yaris here are driven my middle age women with little interest in performance, just economy.

performance? steelies are lighter than most aftermarket wheels. you can get 4 steelies and 4 brand new tires...powdercoat the steelies, adapt tpms sensors and whatnot....for the cost of 1 aluminum wheel in a 15 or 16" that weighs less than a stock steely.

so, that being said, i'm looking into a powder setup and an old used oven to cook them with so i can have light weight wheels, that look good, and are easy to clean.

I wouldn't call the stock steelies light weight. Wheelweights.net has them @ 16lbs each.

Yeah, the steelies are heavy fat little bastards.

Go get some SSR's or 15" rp/pf-01's:D

lol! hmm i wonder if stock parts really sell. Maybe I should try to sell some of the stuff I took off my car.

Yea I know, Lets see....60/40 rear, stock steelies with factory tires at 500mi., stock air box and the list is endless. Now I should go, wrong place for this.
