Toyota Yaris: Aluminum wheel precautions
When installing aluminum wheels, check that the wheel nuts are tight after driving your vehicle the first 1600 km (1000 miles).
If you have rotated, repaired, or changed your tires, check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1600 km (1000 miles).
When using tire chains, be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels.
Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrench designed for your aluminum wheels.
When balancing your wheels, use only Toyota balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rubber hammer.
As with any wheel, periodically check your aluminum wheels for damage. If damaged, replace immediately.
