08 3dr LB Tires?

[Melloreel]

Hey Scott. Do they not make those wheels for the U.S market? Also the 205s do they affect mpg? Is that why you stated "heavier"?
I thought I would just buy some alloy rims from tire rack, or some other, but the tire size, offset, and the other specks has me rethinking this!
Just wanted to look better, but not lose ride ability.

There are plenty of 16s that fit the Yaris, but the ones I have were never brought to the US.

The 205s definitely hurt MPG (I lose about 2-3 when running them and it is more because of the rolling resistance than the weight) and the extra weight definitely affects acceleration.

Your two best bets for buying rims are Micro Image and Fourby100, as both have much experience with the Yaris and can steer you to the right combination of size and offset.
