Yes, this was suggested to me by a staff member at Toyota - he said you can get way "cooler" alloys aftermarket from tyre specialists. I might look in to it one day.

As far as cruise control goes - well I am not going to add that, I never had it before so I can live without it.

July Yaris sales: 1,759.

Well, it's better than the Yaris's worst month (June) of 747. But, it's still poor and bottom of the pack.

I got a steel wheel for my sons ECHO for $35 brand new a few years ago and they can be had in junk yards for less than that.

They go round and round just like alloys amazing!

Thank you - very good point and why I just went with the standard ones - at least I wont cry if it gets damaged.
I had Viper Mags on my Honda and they did look pretty awesome - but I brought the car 2nd hand with those on - I just think they look nice.
But you are right - when the car is moving - no-one can tell what is on the wheels

Here are the major competitors for June.

Ford Fiesta ...........9363
Nissan Versa.........8705
Chevrolet Sonic.....7122
Hyundai Accent.....5237
Honda Fit.............5055
Kia Rio................4169

Yaris....................747

What's going on?

i could never accept the ugly front end and ugly center console area of the fiesta and now... ford has changed both of them. the front ends of the new fiestas look great. a huge improvement.
