Don't know what's with those rims.

But I have lost track of how many "for sale cheap" adds I have seen here and on ebay for those wheels. Looks like people get tired of them very quickly.

And yeah, I read some were these are well over 20lbs each

Not good for the lill Yaris!

You can get some affordable 17" wheels weighting around 15-16lbs, and have a much better and comfortable ride with minimal sacrifices to the MPG and acceleration.

Those TRDs can take a beating though.

What can I say.... my car was a gift and it had them on. So for me they are normal, the ride quality is drastically reduced, even running over a rat feels like a poth-hole But they do look good specially in sedans. But I'am planning on getting some 15's for daily and leaving the 18's just for show.

and........they are hard as hell!!! I have taken poth-hole as u can't imagine and they are still going.
