Contemplated 195 and 205 but cost, wear, and warranty are an issue. It is my humble opinion that these wheels look very good on the car - they complement the "roundy" look nicely. Now it needs some "squat".

You mean, they use bolts. We use studs. They use bolts.

Oops - yes. They bolts, we studs.

I run a set of the same Mini rims as my Winter rims. Their lug bolts are larger diameter than our studs and the hub is 2mm wider. If you aren't running hubcentric rings (I couldn't find ones to fit), you should use lug nuts that make the wheels lugcentric. I am using lugcentric bulge conical lug nuts that I found at Jegs that have the correct taper and have a part below the taper that fills the space between our studs and the wheel:

The car looks great with those mini wheels. IMO, any of the Mini wheels would compliment the car.

Yes, we don't want wobbly wheels do we? I used these lug nuts from Gorilla. They look similar to the Jegs nuts, but not as "bulgey". I like the Jegs better. I'll have to get some.

I need a set... Gorilla nakes them? I think our local shop might have Gorilla brand but not Jegs.
Top pic is Jegs and bottom is Gorilla?

[YotaYaris]

Huh?

Correct. Jegs is a supplier, the manufacturer of the Jegs ones is actually Detroit Wheels.

The flare being wider than the flats on the Jegs ones makes a better fit than the gorilla ones.

CTScott - so the link you provided is the correct size/length for the Yaris?

Yes, that link is from my order to Jegs. They come in packs of 5, so 4 packs gives you 16 + 4 spares.

New "bulgey" lug nuts from Jegs arrived today (thanks to CTScott for the tip). They've been installed and torqued to spec. The Gorilla's weren't going to fall off and there were no issues over the last several hundred miles, but I do feel better with these installed. A note to any others thinking of using these or similar wheels:

Unlike the Gorilla's, these lug nuts are 3/4" (19mm) hex - smaller than the stock Yaris lug nuts and therefore will not fit the factory lug wrench. I took an old lug nut from my original steelies and welded it to a sacrificial socket and tossed it in with my goody bag in the spare tire well.

I think a reminder is in order here - when changing to non-stock wheels always keep a set for your spare.

Good reminder. I carry an X style lug wrench that will handle the factory lug nuts as well as the Jegs ones, but I don't carry 4 factory lugs for the spare.

Really?? Those definitely look like 16's. For some reason they just look bigger than the stock wheel size. I'm sure the drop has something to do with the illusion.

Cool.
