Either using, or have used, aftermarket rims that are the same weight or lighter. I know a few of you's prefer the TrakLites, just wanna see if there's anything else that's good.
My 17" ASA wheels weigh a ton, but I don't give a dam about fuel economy on the Sunfire... But if I track it as intended, my diff may not agree with those!
The Yaris, on the other hand, is likely getting that set of Kosei shoes. More then 4 pounds lighter (each!) then my stock steelies should help out the fuel economy a whole bunch.

MOTEGI>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NO MORE SAID
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE, i have already died once and im still here so lets just leave it on the track
What kind of Yaris do you have? My girlfriend just bought a 08 Liftback S 5-Speed a couple months ago. It's a fun little car...
I have a set of 17" drag rims on my car. They only weigh 17.75 pounds a peice and were only 400 shipped where as tracklites weigh 14 pounds and are going to cost you over a grand.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
wade-traklights (17X8) weigh 13 lbs each and are a full inch wider then your wheels.
i just bought a set of
Velox PG5S 17X7's and they weigh 12.5 lbs each.
i also just bought a set of
Centerline Storm 17X7's and they weigh 15 lbs each.
both are very nice wheels and look very similar but have their differences. i love them both.

Doesn't one of the lightweight Rota lines fit the Jbody bolt pattern and hub?

'07 4-door (5 really) Hatchback.
Auto, A/C, power lock/mirrors/windows.
Yea, that pretty much covers it.
Eh, it's an alright car, I only bought it because it had great reliability and total cost of ownership. I see the guys on Yaris World get all excited to mod the 'go-kart', but I'm all for keeping ride quality and convenience in the thing, so 95% of what I see doesn't apply to me.
It doesn't make me smile like my Sunfire does.

My favourite would be the traklite 2.0. My car wears them in a 15x7, which is a hair over 10lbs. Used to have a set of the 17x7 Velox vx6r, which are about 14.5lbs each. Not bad for a "big" wheel, really.

Rota offers the slipstream, among others, in a size & pattern that'll fit the j cars i do believe. You have, at very least, 15x7 and 16x8 from which to choose, if not the 17x7.5 as well.
Have you seen the turbo wagon?
13.90 @ 105.46mph
street tires
rough tune
