Alloy wheels are nice until you dent one then have to pay $400 for a single new one!

I got a steel wheel for my sons ECHO for $35 brand new a few years ago and they can be had in junk yards for less than that.

They go round and round just like alloys amazing!

Screw factory alloys, better to buy aftermarkets anyway. You can buy a whole set of 4 for less than $400. Much better looking and unique.

Yes, this was suggested to me by a staff member at Toyota - he said you can get way "cooler" alloys aftermarket from tyre specialists. I might look in to it one day.

As far as cruise control goes - well I am not going to add that, I never had it before so I can live without it.

July sales

July Yaris sales: 1,759.

Well, it's better than the Yaris's worst month (June) of 747. But, it's still poor and bottom of the pack.

Thank you - very good point and why I just went with the standard ones - at least I wont cry if it gets damaged.
I had Viper Mags on my Honda and they did look pretty awesome - but I brought the car 2nd hand with those on - I just think they look nice.
But you are right - when the car is moving - no-one can tell what is on the wheels
