Tirerack, Discount Tire and the rest are a good place to get ideas from. You want +40 offset, +38 backspacing (i think, this is by far the easiest thing to correct,) and 4 x 100.

When you see something you like, call MI or 4x100. They are both good people that can offer great deals on wheels and tires.

The stock wheels weigh 15 lbs, so go for something lighter than that.

Tirerack does a wonderful job of listing every single wheels weight.
Wheelweights.net is another wonderful source for finding out the weight of hundreds of different wheels.

This Tire size calculator will help you understand tire diameter and ratio and easily let you figure out which wheel and tire packages will keep your speedo and odo in sync, along with what will not rub.

Many Mini, Miata, and Civic wheels will fit our Yaris.

If you are going for drivability and gas mileage, the Kong Heliums are popular.

The biggest question though is your budget. Followed by bling or useability first.

Well thanks why!
That just sounds funny to me the offset, and back spacing has me a little confused? But perhaps a little research will help!
