I've decided to go with 16 inch rims....

[thomasward00]

After much thought, i'm gonna go with 16x7 instead of 17x7's I met a guy with a yaris sedan like mine and he had 17's on his, it looked great but he told me that If i commute and for daily driving that 16's would be better. Does anyone have pictures of a yaris sedan with 16's on it?

no sorry but for what it is worth here is a picture of a sedan on 17s

Which wheel is better for a daily driver, I will not be racing nor lowering my car.

Remember that I do not drive my yaris aggresively or racing, I want these for looks and a little extra stability on the Interstate.

Good choice! I'll be going to 16"s when I buy my rims. Lots of hatch users around here with 16" wheels... but not too many sedan users I don't think.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

Just from spending a few hours surfing the net I've found there's a better selection of not-so-ultra high performance tires available in 16" than 17". That's the main reason I decided to go with 16" when I get mine. I couldn't find any 205/45/17 tire with higher than a 40K mile treadwear rating, whereas there are several 205/50/16 tires available with a 60K rating. Like you, I also don't care about ultra high performance tires. In fact I want to stay away from them because they just don't last very long. I want something that's going to last for at least 60K. I don't know why all tire manufacturers think that low profile tires MUST be made of the ultra solft, ultra high-wearing, high speed rated compounds and designs. Not everyone buying low profile tires wants them for racing, or even aggressive driving. In fact, I would bet money that if a poll was taken, most people would say they buy them solely for the looks and they would rather have low profile tires that would last 70K-80K miles, rather than having performance tires that wear out in just 20K miles.

Sorry for the long rant, but I think you've made a wise choice.

Out of those I like the Konig from the first link the best. You'll be happy with 16s.

Try PMing the guy. He told me he could get me a quote on any Konigs I was interested in whether or not it was on their website. The main deal is for the heliums and whats in the thread I gave you the link for, though. Make sure to let him know color & size you want if there are multiple options.
