I am looking at these as a new alternative to my current wheels... they are 14" 4x100. 120$. Dunno about offset.
Plan on going to see them. Any opinions? experience with 14"s? how much do 14" tires cost approx?

14's will work with the Yaris. However, you might want to check the center bore size (if it's bigger than 54.1mm, that's fine since they make hubcentric rings, if it's smaller, it won't work). Offset, well, as long as it's not crazy low, it'll work. lol

Tires can be had for as little as $60 at your local America's Tire (or even cheaper if you get a generic brand at a tire shop).

Personally, if I'm getting rims that small, they better be EXTREMELY light-weight. Really no point in getting smaller rims if they're heavy.

14's will work fine, I've ran 2 sets. The offset doesn't go by the rim height, just the wideness + offset numbers. Those look like they'll work fine, most 14's aren't as wide as 15's and up. Just make sure they're not 14x8 or 14x9 or anything crazy.

As for tires... CHEAP.

Offset makes the biggest difference on the harks to clear calipers. For instance, my 14x5 steelies fit great but 14" "Daisy" alloys from a miata rub the calipers

^ True for OEM 14's, but for the aftermarket ones in question, they will clear the calipers easy.

I see the pic of them now....they'll likely work

To the OP: 14" tires are nice and cheap, but tire options are limited. Regardless off the tire you're going to have a ton of sidewall and tire flex. In my signature I have 14" r-888's on the car and I could feel the tires squishing as I cornered at the auto-x
