yay

IMO the Yaris 15" hub caps look pretty darn good. They fill up the wheel well nicely and a good design. I just wish the rear wheel had more offset.

more offset would be nice but i'm sure they were just looking out for the average joe who needs tires rotated and junk without dismounting

Trash the hubcaps! Buy bronze wheels when you can afford them.

get some beauty rings and center caps or baby moons or something...

I just HATE hubcaps. If you like them and want to paint them bronze go for it.

Toyota did a good job with the 15" covers. They could've done the plain silver route but instead used a darker tint silver metallic... a real nice touch. It works well with the lug nut caps and chrome center logo. Normally at this price point you expect a molded in logo and hiddened lug nuts which can look real cheep... like the *cough* Fit *cough*

The chrome ring and cap combo look sweet, someone should sell that as a kit.
