18's on a yaris (IMHO) would be a bit much, plus the added rolling weight of such a large wheel is going to be death to any acceleration and (probably) hurt your MPG.

16's would look good and not be overkill, however.

I was always intrigued by the Vitz, esp. when I seen a few fixed up ones in the beautiful town of Vancouver BC.
When I heard a replacement for the Echo was on the way and in hatchback form I was really excited. I used to work at a Toyota dealership so i had a chance to PDI the 1st Yarii off the truck. While it was fun to fling around, saying the car was spartan was almost an understatement. I talked to my salesman buddy and he told me California gets the basest of base Yaris hatches, sure you can get the convenience package but no power package for you! My enthusiasm disappeared.
Fast forward to now. Gas prices really suck. Yarii have excellent mileage. New cars cost too much. Yarii HB's are pretty durn cheap. My idle automotive skillz are yearning for a project. Yarii have awesome aftermarket support, moreso than my 03 Matrix XRS. I needed a car. The Yaris I kept building over and over on Toyota.com was on the showroom floor at Toyota Vallejo. So the stars aligned and I picked one up.

I look forward to building this one up. Not as the worlds fastest FWD or as an Import Tuner cover car but as a solid, legit, daily-driven B-seg Yaris hatch that the kids at the high school would call dope and get 35 MPG plus give my XRS a run for its money.

So far:
-TRD shock absorbers
-TRD lowering springs
-TRD sport muffler
-OEM spoiler
-blue accent lights

all through the glory of being put on a due bill and financed! If I wouldn't have been too excited , I would've added the TRD 18's as well. doh!

See you guys later!
