Full Moon wheel covers
I'm thinking of these on my Steelies for winter time. Those Yaris covers are just too ordinary. Opinions?

If I could find some cheep that I could paint a gun metal, black, or something I would love them. I do not think that adding shine is good when they only come stock with shinny badges.
If I could find some rims that were light and well made that did not stand out I would get some rims.

I thought about those. Two things I don't like about them: They block the brake vent holes in the wheels (not that I get my brakes hot in normal use), and they appear to cover the valve stem so you must remove the wheel cover to check the air pressure.
What I really wanted was a set of baby moons, but they're a no-go on Toyota's steelies. No lugs to hold them on. I'm delighted with the spinner wheel covers I got, but as the 2009 Yaris' TPMS valve stems are in a nonstandard location (slightly closer to the hub and angled inward) I had to snip out the inner edge of the valve stem holes to get them to go on and generally have to pop them off to check the tires anyway. |

Do a Google search for "Baby Moons".

True, but I doubt brake cooling is a major concern on the Yaris, especially if you're not racing.
