The Scion iA has joined that list of cars like the 2015 Corolla, Civic, Fit, etc., where I groan whenever I see them. I even groan when I see the 2015 Yaris on those tall skinny 175/65/15" L/LE OEM tires - or look at the OEM 16" alloy wheel design on my white SE in some cases.

I do NOT like that Toyota took this shortcut !!! I wish they had instead used the same size tires that came on my '07 with the convenience package (convenience package for '07 = 15" wheels instead of 14").

If you change those, definitely post the specs of your new ones and your driving impressions .

I was hoping to hold out replacing the 16" OEM alloys until I needed new tires, and then also switch to 205 instead of 195 tires (assuming no compatibility issues), but I'm not sure if I want to wait that long. I just don't really care for the mostly-black OEM wheels on a white car, versus how much better they look on the dark gray SE and such.

. The detail you posted re the window tinting was great . I'm sure you'll make what ends up being the right decision re the wheels.
