Rims help

Just got a 2007 hatchback and it has the ugly black rims with plastic hub caps. I want to get rims for it. Would someone please tell me what size, item number, etc. I need to get? I did a quick search on ebay and there are some 15 inch rims but not all look the same. Which ones do I go with? And which ones will give me greater miles per gallon (if any)? Please don't use acronyms or I won't know what you are talking about. Thanks

Not really sure what exactly you are requesting of us here.

As far as aftermarket rims, there are hundreds of options, styles, sizes, and colours to choose from. Budget plays a big role as well, ranging from $50 per wheel to $1000+ per wheel.

The basics would be:

- 15 or 16 inch, 6.5 to 7 inches wide.
- bolt pattern 4X100
- wheel offset (ET) around the area of +42
- hub bore 54.1mm. Most wheels will require seperate hub centric rings to match the Yaris bore of 54.1mm

Go check out Tirerack.com or Discounttiredirect.com. These sites are among the best places to shop for wheels and tires. And they'll ship them mounted and balanced.

Do you want to stay with the original tire?

If so, then you are obviously limited to 15's.

When you go to the sites to research, all you have to do is input your car and desired wheel size and all the available wheels that will fit come up.

Good luck!

Wee Yari, what is a wheel offset and hub bore? I've noticed the rims I've found don't come with the lug nuts nor the center piece...where do I get them from? and how do I know the size/style?

Kal-El, thanks for the tip. I'll go check them out right now. I think if the whole thing comes together it'll save me a headache.

What are the advantages of wider and/or larger tires? I live in Flagstaff, AZ and we get lots of snow. Which is better?
