wat is the best size for the yaris to handle really well, im hearing 17's for curves and 15's for more of a straight line. 15's are cheaper and lighter, but i read a couple months back on superstreetonline that the yaris/vitz were designed to run on 17's. just google trd yaris if you want to look for that article. just wana get everybodys opinion. thanks.

15's are the best choice performance wise (weight, handling)... but if you are into the looks... 17's are sweet!

The yaris was designed to run on OEM wheels... that is 14's and 15's

Google Yaris/Vitz Cup in japan and see what tires and wheels are they running...

I went with 16s - somewhere in the middle. They handle vey nicely, and they are not too harsh.

makes you wonder why the trd rim is 18" 15"s can probably handle nasty chicago roads better.

He saids it all :biggrin:
Maybe TRD thinks we all live in perfectly made roads where potholes don't exist..... :laugh: Tell me about it.... i know what driving on bad streets is
but believe me those TRD 18s are pretty damn hard!!! :thumbsup: I have taken lots of pothholes and they are still goin.

16s is a pretty number

I love my 17's. Not harsh at all, in fact I think the NF210 springs contribute more to the firm ride than the wheels do.

NF210 Springs drop 1.1 in the front and 1.3 in the rear. TRD are 1.2 inch drop front and rear, just to compare.
