Either those SSRs (those were my first choice when I was wheel-shopping, but didn't find them here), or bronze FTW

Those do look amazing on my car, that's for sure..but not sure if I can afford SSR's right now. Some effects of being a university student I fear.

Would need a drop for sure. It's funny how higher the car looks in pictures..in real life I barely notice how high the car is sitting.

Yeah I understand. I just got used rims/tires for mine for $250. I'm not really picky on brand, especially with all of the potholes around here. I'll end up bending whatever I buy.

Nah..plus we rarely get originals shipped into the country, unless you're aiming to pay a leg. Most rims here are fake..i bought 18's for my BMW, cost me 400$ for the set hehe, and they look alright mind you. But I don't want that for my yaris

Ah. My rims are so cheap they don't even have a brand. Just says 'Made in Taiwan' on the back. =)

The tires are nice though, Bridgestone Potenza's.

My stock Yaris tires are Goodyears. Which is kind of cool because I live about 45 minutes from the Goodyear plant. =)

Check out discounttiredirect.com. They got some really cheap wheels. You can preview most of the wheels on your yaris at their website too to give you an idea of how it will look.

Also check out tirerack.com. Not only do they have some pretty cheap wheels, but most of them are pretty darn light. They also have a preview of mounted wheels on your car.

Ah, ok. I had a feeling you probably did, but I just wanted to make sure :). Let us know what you end up with and then pix
