Toyota Wheel

I have 15" steel wheels with covers. I want to get real aluminum wheels. Are the Toyota wheels any good? Or should I go aftermarket? Any recommendations? Thanks!

With the amount of money spent on the toyota alums you can get yourself a much better set with much better tires. Toyota set is nice, but if you want to get the most out of your money, go with aftermarket. Try Konig Feathers.

I have the Toyota ones. I love them. I also bought them for 20% off though. msrp is way to high for what they are. Pics in my garage. If you have to pay cost I agree with him ^.

Aftermarket wheels wont void anything.

I got theToyota wheels and I love them. Clean and simple.

Michelins are hard to beat for all around use and long life.

The dealer just told me the aluminum wheels would cost $700 for the set! That sounds awfully steep...can that be right?

got mine for 360. says so on my purchase order. they just switch out the stock tires. i ordered my yaris with those, though, so that may have made a difference in my haggling process...
