Hello people of Yarisworld, I have had the car for over a month now and I've put about 2k miles which have been great. I have also invested in some simple steel wheels with some very nice Nokian Hakkapeliittas. I found some cheap racing disc hubcaps on amazon and figured why not. Tell me what you think, kind of doofy but keeps the look clean and unique to say the least.

I'd be afraid those would cause brake heat problems.

Yeah I kind of dig them. I work at a multi franchise dealership and a bunch of the guys kind of laughed and agreed that it looks like a salt flat racer. I hadn't thought of a brake heat disipation issue. It is the SE model so it has disc brakes all around. I don't do any heavy braking by any means so I'm not going to worry about it.

...and you live in Albany NY where it seldom gets hot anyway.

I myself grew up in Cobleskill where we never had AC in our cars or houses when I was a kid!

After driving in a snow storm...

UPDATE: Been driving the Yaris for a couple months now and just turned 3000 miles the other day. I live in Albany, New York and we've had a bit of winter weather and this is what the Yaris looked like after driving about 15 miles or so... The car handled really well for what it is, the Nokians I put on it definitely helped.
