larger diameter from OEM can effect MPG for the worse and speedo readings. Either by means of larger rim or larger tires on same size rim. Larger usually means heavier which will decrease performance on these low hp cars
Smaller diamber from OEM can also effect MPG for the better and speedo reading. Using lower profile tires on same rim or smaller rims in general. Usually weigh less and the smaller diameter changes the gear ratio which helps in acceleration. I see no gain or loss with those Acura rims on craigslist. Only issue I see is the Acura logo on the caps which will look silly on a yaris.
