Please post pics of your Yaris with aftermarket rims here

Instead I was looking into jacking it up, but turns out ground clearance never became an issue even with heavy cargo on snow roads.

When I did my wheels swap from winter tires on steelies to my summer on mags last week, I weighted each and my 15" summer tired with mags are 15kg while the winter 14" with steel rims are 13kg. There's about a 1.5" diameter difference between both, the 15" ones being taller. I reckon the mags are much heavier than the steel rims, as the 14" winter tires do have more meat than the 15" summer ones. Uneducated as I was, I always thought alloy mags would be lighter than steel rims, but apparently it's not always true. Make sure to weight you mags first if you think you'll save weight by ditching the steelies.

Did you (Vitz) weighted your new mags and compared them to the stock ones ?

oh ok i get you man!, no i didnt weight them to check the difference in between the two, whenever i am changing tires on the mags (which is not time soon lol) i will do a comparrison between the two or whenever i have some free time I get it done.
