Yeah, they do look good on.
A "strange" thing about the yaris HB HB is, wheels that you would not ordinarily like usually look pretty good on the Yaris. I suspect this is due to the fact that the HB has very clean lines and most wheels will compliment it without clashing with the body lines, etc. |

Top Notch!

Love them!
These go really well with the color of your car too!

I had sold these to a guy in Kentucky and just bought them back last night. He had re-sprayed them black so I took a few hours to refinish them last night.
Re-finished 3 out of 4 last night successfully. I tried to use a polishing wheel to grind out some scratches and made some grooves in the metal on the last one, will have to fix that today. Messed up one: |

That's pretty funny that you chased them down and bought them back. In all the research that you did on them, did you ever find out if they were made in left and rights, or are they all the same?

Yes - the "real" Niche wheels were directionals and had lefts and rights.
And I couldn't let them go - I've had 25 sets of wheels on my Yaris and these were by far the best looking to me. |

Good looking rims... would be interesting to see them in black on your Yaris!

^ I didn't like them in black, but I'm usually not a fan of black full-faced wheels. But here is the PO's car with them.
Refinishing them and clear-coating. Got 3/4 done. |

Those wheels look terrible in black! But, I'm also not a fan of any black "full-faced" wheels.
