im really on the fence with this one

on the one hand, our cars come with so little power, that every bit of weight you can save especially unsprung weight will go a ways to increase or maintain the performance. on the other hand, if i wanted a real performance vehicle, im not sure i would have ended up with a yaris.

actually i guess im not really on the fence, with my heavy 16" TRD rims. all show, no go.

And also i hope they bring some Halo Rings for the heatlights and few cool taillights. no doubt bout that, the tailights isnt sexy.

Can't see the wheels, tirerack doesn't save sessions.

As for finding weight, go to your favorite search engine and type the name of the wheel followed by the word "weight." Usually something will pop up.

I found that Volk Ce28Ns 15x7 should weigh about 9 lbs.

For tires, tirerack.com is a pretty good place to look. Most of the tires have user surveys. Also, Car&Driver did a tire review you can find here.

It comes down to why you bought the vehicle. I bought it to be my daily driver, and for the gas mileage. I plan on making it as light as possible so that I can get the best mpg I can. Every pound counts when it comes to weight.

why? - looks like you're willing to drop alot on buying light wheels.... why not look into the TE37 Magnesium forged or other Ray's Magnesium wheels ;)

Magnesium wheels = super light, but not good for the street.

[why?]

They aren't magnesium wheels, lol.

Very few wheels are magnesium now.

The TE37s are forged monoblock aluminum.here is how they do it.

The CE28N is also monoblock forged aluminum. The 14x5.5 CE28N supposedly weighs only 6.39 lbs. I thought the TE37's were the lightest, but obviously I was wrong.

Hmm, anyone know of anything lighter than 6.39lbs for 14x5.5 wheels? Not sure if that is possible, lol.

haha no rays makes some special magnesium forged wheels. i think only three models and one is a type of te37

IMO 16in will look best for the YAris
