i don't like the Spoon knock-offs (those Rota's) on a Yaris...so I would go with the RG-II's. as for color, pick one that has a nice contrast to your Yaris.

I figured bronze would be too dark. I dont want the stealthy look. I like it fresh.

White, Gold and Silver all look great. I like the racy , no frills look, so I guess white is good for me... but it would be a pain to maintain and will it be too loud ?

I can't believe I just chose Rotas over Advans or BC's, but I'll tell you why... rear drums are freekin' embarassing and for my money I want the rim that covers things up the most on this car. No thin 5 spokes for me.

Gold Rotas on a black car will look... wow.

Rotas are out of their league when compared to Advan or Buddy Club....but I think I'd go Rota's and spend the money saved on something else.

I like the way the Advan RGII whites have the rounded popping out spokes!

I think it's super slick!

thick 5-spoke like those rotas in white would look damn good, I have seen them on several Fits here, not a bad choice at all. (then again I have a fetish for white rims). And like ChinoCharles said, it'll hide the rear drum brakes pretty well

The advans RGII have been my first love. I love the curves. However, I've seen it in smaller sizes, in more positive offset form, and the curves dont bend so much. Its beautiful in 17 or 18" form with deep offsets.


Thanks for all the comments thus far. still deciding.
