nice rims!
but dude.... there are some kinds of ghosts with no faces standing behind your car As for bigger wider wheels at the back, don't do it That's only really useful for high powered rear wheel drive cars to get as much traction as possible. For our low powered front wheel drive cars, it's only gonna unbalance your handling. It looks great as it is

I will go with 17s, Yaris is a 1.5L line-4 supcompact car, 18s are for full size cars, anything beyond 18s are for trucks and SUVs

Personally I don't like run and the truth is that the only good thing of a Yaris is the Toyota brand. I like the car, how it looks with mods like rims, spoilers, bodykits and many more, but we have to realize that is a slow car anyways. I really don't feel to much diference because I'am using ligth 18" rims to avoid problems and yes, I think the perfect match for a Yaris is 17" wheels. When a get a Yaris I should know that is a slow and cheap car , but an economical and convenient car, to me it's perfect like that

stick to the 17's , its the best for the car without causing any headaches, whats even better is going for a nice lightweight rim , i got lightweight tenzo R's , and i have actually gained a bit better acceleration ,strange i know , seing as a wider tire should slow you down , but my rims are dam light , much lighter that the standard steel ones.

We are not trying to go slower you said it Yaris are already slow but we do go big on rims just for the looks and I really don't think 15, or 16s look better than 18s on a yaris. I ride 18'' and i'am still waiting for a yaris / scion Xa Xb/ echo that can beat me, and they ride the silly looking 14 or 15s(like yours)

Ahah.
You buy rims that make you slower, then you try to say you're faster than comparable cars on regular rims? Sounds like your ego got boosted while racing some poor ass drivers. And you know, I don't need big rims to compensate for my small... um, car. |

anyways Here's the deal with 18's You can launch at 4,000 rpm and the wheels spin is just minimum The grip gets down easy and you don't waste any time while 14's and 15's are screaming and getting no grip And back to the topic I'll go with 17's because its just better for daily driving and potholes Yesterday I saw it while having some fun with a Yaris Liftback and a Echo.
