Ok just looked at the toyota site and they have a new package. It comes with everything D does but it has the spoiler,foglights and alloy wheels. Which depending on what the alloy wheels look like I would get that package. Well plus it depends on if I have foglights if that would make it so the kaminari kit wont fit or have to be modded. They have it listed for $2330 which dont know if the added stuff are worth the extra $700.

Can't get the Power Pkg with Alloys here in the Northwest. Cost over $800 to buy and mount a set of 5-Spoke Factory Alloys, plus the correct lugnuts and the wheel centers!!! Looks great though.

Sounds like a deal to me eventhough we already have the spoiler and the fog lights on our HB.

I would like to know what the wheels look like.

No, those are the 7-Spoke aftermarket Yaris wheels - Here are the 5-Spoke Factory Alloys we have:

i'm kinda confused. with the power and alloy wheel package, do i get 5 spoke wheels or 7?
I thought 7 spoke wheels are from toyota too...not aftermarket...

OK, as I understand it from my time online and at the local dealer's parts dept:

The Toyota, 5-Spoke Alloy Wheels are the ones that come with the 'Power Pkg with Alloy Wheels'. Here in the Northwest, the Power Pkg they order is the one with the Steel Wheels (and plastic hub caps).

The Toyota, 7-Spoke Alloy Wheels are apparently an "aftermarket" product in the U.S. Both styles are 15" wheels and fit the stock 15" tires. The 7-spoke wheels are lower priced (online they are approx. $135.each), while the 5-spoke wheels are more expensive (usually $200.+each - we got them at "Employee Price" which was $175.each)

I had my local Les Schwab shop mount, balance & install them for $60. However, we also had to purchase NEW lug nuts (these wheels require a flat lug nut contact surface) and we also had to purchase the wheel 'centers' for an additional $36.

I do not know what type of lug nuts the 7-spoke wheel needs, and I do not know if they are shipped with 'centers'.

FYI: Why did we choose the 5-spoke wheels rather than the 7-spoke wheels? Probably due to our advanced age!!! We liked the more substantial look of the 5-spoke model vs. the more spindly look of the 7-spoke. Also easier to keep clean, in my opinion.

There is also an 18" x 7.5" Toyota, Yaris 5-Spoke Aluminum Wheel - shown below ($270.each at Sparks Toyota's site)

Hope this clears up some of your questions.

Yeah and I now know I wouldnt want that package. I like the 7 spoke for the fact it looks aftermarket not stock. Plus I think the 5 spoke are ugly.
