I haven't figured out what I want to do with wheels and tires yet. I know I'd like bronze, but I'm not sure about sizes yet. Mainly because I don't know much about sizes. I have read (on yarisworld) that it's best to stay under 17s and even them it might be better to go smaller for fuel economy or something like that.

Personally, 16" is as big as you should go on the Echo. 15" is the perfect size for performance/weight.

Agreed.
14's for rally, 15's for road, 17's for wank. |

Lmfao wank.
So yall agree 15-16s would be best? What about tires? Should i go with tires that have a very low profile, or what would look/perform best? I want my car to look good, but fuel economy comes first. |

hey! an echo driver! woo. nice to see you around.
i drive a black 2k sedan, and i just got some wheels recently. 15x7 drag dr34s with kumho ecsta ast's 205/50/15. it didn't seem to hurt performance at all, the wheels aren't too heavy. it obviously looks sweet, and traction is sooo much better. i haven't noticed a significant decrease in MPG, maybe 1-2 at most. |

x2 on the 205/50 R15. It's a good all round tire size.

Does everyone recommend the same tire size in the front and back? I know some people for other cars get wider tires in the back or sometimes just bigger too.

For safety reasons, always put the same size and make tires on all four wheel.
