What do you think of these rims?

I am going to purchase a set of rims in the next couple weeks in prep for spring. I want something unique yet not over the top. I think I'm gonna go with these Rial wheels what do you all think? These are rial Como 4

they're really heavy.

but they're unique, so you'll definitely not be part of the normal crowd.

I can't imagine they are heavier than the factory Steel wheels? I do see that they are 17lbs each for the alloys

Not too bad, but if they're heavy I would avoid them. The Yaris should benefits greatly from a nice light set of wheels.

I think I read 17lbs for weight and 15x6.5 I'm gonna get them from the tirerack and use my steelies for winter since they already have my snow shoes on them already. good by TPMS I've always been a fan of the ol DIY tire pressure gauge..

What's the ET (offset), and do you plan to install new rubber or go with the original?

15x6.5, ET42 is an excellent fitment for the Yaris.

I like 'em. Looks good on the LB, probably not so much on the sedan.

I would have to agree with you.

Very nice looking wheels, I'd recommend hub spacers (or wheel spacers) for the rear to make it "fit" better (look more flush). I've found a +42 offset rear is pretty far tucked into the car for the rear.

I saw those on TireRack.com, too, and thought they were cool.

They remind me of a stock Nissan Cube wheel. However, I'd rock 'em.

they look good. I've loved 4 spoke wheels since my father's '82 Supra had them. I would worry about the weight though, that seems like a lot for 15 inchers.
