Konig Helium, Sparco Terra or painted steelies

[Type-Y]

While my coilovers sit in my entry way, I'm trying to decide on wheels. Mind you my car is a true city car with it's share of dings and scratches and that is not going to change and frankly I kinda like it or at least don't mind.

I have a meteorite colored 07 liftback. Trying to decide between:

1. Painting my steelies with a fresh coat of black (i like the steelie look).
2. Konig Heliums (black)
3. Sparco Terra's (black with white Sparco emblems)

and one more contender that I found while picking up some upholstery cleaner at pepboys:

4. Proline 110B (they have a great sale on these, 4 for $185, they are cheaper than new steelies would cost) https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/1389395/00453/2007/TOYOTA/YARIS/0/4-1497%25201.5L%2520DOHC/64710/

Forgot about these. I’ve seen the smoothie Steele’s for the fiat 500, really nice.

Choose whichever is lightest

I got my Konig Heliums in bronze from Jet. No tax, hope that helps

The Heliums are only 11.4lbs, the Sparco's are like 17.5.

Thanks.

I like the Konig Tweak'd too.

Anyone know if 15x7 would fit without rubbing?

[thebarber]

Depends on offset and tire

15x7 with ET35
Tire 185/60/15

I know the tire will fit, but not if it'll rub.

I body-color powdercoated a set of surface-rusty but incredibly accurate circa 1990 5.5x14 Miata steelies for 185-65's...couldn't be happier. (Have tiny chrome Mazda center caps.)
(Die-grinder to remove wheel-cover keys, which circa 1990 Corolla and Miata both have. But stock 07 Yaris steel-wheels-for-wheel-covers don't. Go figure. Mind of Toyota.)

Nice! I like the body color steelies too, but not sure about it in meteorite.

What color is your car?

What's not to like about the look of a grey or silver 356 Porsche? (I don't know what is "meteorite.")
(Body-colored wheels seemed to end about 1960.)

Meteorite is Toyota for light blue. That may have looked good too, but for now the steelies are out, as I got a good deal on a set of Avid 1 AV08's.

Here's what I got:

Thanks. I wanted simple and black and I always liked the look of slips.

I think I accidentally threw out the Avid stickers for the center cap, but no worries, I think I'm going to try to get Toyota emblems for the centers or just leave it blank the way it is.

Antique heat register?

i thought "meteorite" was the dark grey color...?
i have steel wheels with 3/4 inch chrome beauty rings (metal)

That looks sweet. I was trying to see if there was a dog dish hubcap that would fit the yaris steel wheels, but I couldn't find anything.
