Just curious about this. How are they suppose to negatively affect driving comfort and performance?

I can say I don't think there have been any negatives with my wheels, but I am curious.

Me too very curious about that as well. My current rims just changed 3 days ago to Volk Racing CE28N 14 x 5.5 inch (185/65/14). Before that i am using the SSR Type-F 15 x 7 (195/55/15).

The feel & response of the engine now is so much lighter/faster acceleration. As for comfort level, it drive & absorb bumps so much BETTER now than before. (Due to my thicker tires side wall) I LOVE the feeling & the handling of my car now!! The more I drive it, the more i'm loving it!!!

Maybe the only negative effect i can think of now is the cornering speed, wider rims/tires width always offer sure foot to the ground. But once again, my yaris is daily street cars with many stop & go in my local traffic therefore i opt for the tiny rims/tires over the wider rims/tires. ;)

donchae: If you're choosing ONLY between this 2, i'll advise you to go for the lighter one. It gonna make a different in your tank mileage as well as faster acceleration for our tiny 1.5 engine.
