Aren't those made for the Miata? Do they fit the Yaris hubs ok, or do you have to use hub centric adapter rings?

The 2 valve holes are so you can fill with 100% nitrogen, with only 1 valve you could never get all the oxygen out of the tire

the two valves are to fill with nitrogen and purge out the air that nitrogen displaces...
and yes very popular with the miata crowd.

The hub bore is 67.1mm so hub rings are a good idea

Did you find your hub centric rings yet? If not, check with Tire Rack, they sent a set of them with my last set of rims I purchased for the Celica!!
