Actually, I have a ton of history with maxxis on every application from slicks, to road tires, to offroad tires.....EXCELLENT tire for the money.

Also due to the Lack of tyre wall height the Rims buckle and bend at the slightest pot hole

Oh and thats looking real nice Thomas , love it .
Ray hit that one on the head... I need to post closeup pics of my old wheels and you'll understand.

And the weight savings too... old woman at the shop picked up the new wheels with one hand while I was struggling to carry my old ones with both hands :D

17" wheels would be plenty if you're going for looks...

I like the change and I'm sure the yaris appreciates not having the extra weight.

Good move :)

Awesome :) Still no chance to really test their limits but so far so good!
