16", best compromise between looks, weight and response (sidewall height)

^ +1! I wanted 15's, but I'll wait longer, save more money and get 16's!

Agree with 16" also.

I got myself 14" mainly just for further weight deduction only.

I run a set of 17x7.5 enkei wheels with 205/40's right now. I'm also thinking about buying a set of 15x8 minilites in the future and running 195/45's on those.

+1 - that's what I had on the last Yaris, and will have again on this when the $$ situation improves.

15's but spokes must go to the outer lip, makes them look like 16's without the added weight. More available and cheaper tires than 16's.

17"S look bling but move the revolving mass too far from the hub and slow the Yaris down big time. If your racing 205/50R15 works perfect and lots of sticky tires are available.
