Exclamation

i think the lightest low-budget to high-performance ratio would be rota slipstreams.
size: 17x8 or 17x7.5
bolt pattern: 4x100
offset: +48

they're lighter than factory and you can run up to a 215 width tire without rubbing because the offset is so high.

if you insist on rubbing a 16"inch for cheaper tires and lighter weight yet, you can get it in:
size: 16 x 7
bolt pattern: 4 x 100
offset: +45
and run a 205/50R16 instead.

They come in any finish you could imagine. I think Full Royal Black would be the nicest, but Full Royal Sport Bronze would look really hot on a white yaris too.


215/35R17 definitely wont rub, and 215/40R17 shouldn't rub and is closer to your OEM size. 215/45R17 would look sweet but would probably rub (i think that's the OEM size for my IS300).
Hankook & Yokohama make tires in this size: 215/35R17. The hankook tires only weigh 17lbs!

I ordered some Rota Circuit-10's for the yaris because that's what the girlfriend thinks looks best. I'll post pics of them when they're on the car, 16x7 -- Full Royal Gunmetal finish (brand new finish that was just released and no-one has yet)

Probably will be my next wheels, in flat black Sure, they're very common and hardly fancy/sexy, but for the price and the weight, very hard to beat!
