    ?? Wheels on Japanese body kit

    Was wondering if anyone had seen this Prius body kit:

    It appears to have some type of rear spoiler.

    But, of even greater interest are the wheels. Anyone know what they might be?

    When you said rear spoiler, I thought I was seeing something on the gate.

    I don't think that's a rear spoiler. I think it's a poster on the fence in the background.

    Not sure about the rims...they're quite flashy!

    But the whole thing looks great together.

    It looks like something is sticking up at the back, at the bottom of the rear hatch where one would normally mount a wing on a car...

    darn, with closer examination it appears it IS a sign on the fence behind the car... I've been looking everywhere for just the "right" spoiler/wing for the back, the right "flashy" wheels, and a visor-ish "wing" to go at the TOP of the rear hatch. Once I ever get my Kenstyle body kit ordered from Carson (if they'll ever get on the ball), those things will complete the look I am striving for. Well, and I'm also looking at the "pointy" nosepiece/grille here:

    I know a lot of people won't like it, as it's a bit "controversial", but I am striving to get rid of the "T" emblems on the car, and this takes care of the front one.....

    You hit it on the "nose." Hahaha. I'm not a big fan of that kit.

    The kenstyle kit, however, looks great.

    I want something like I have on the back of my RX-7.....the smoked acrylic type thing:

    All the other ones I've found or seen are pretty much like the one u suggested, and are hardly noticeable....pretty much a waste of money. I want it to be up off the window like the one on the RX-7. Thanks for your suggestion.

    Re: ?? Wheels on Japanese body kit

    I'd like to know more about the body kit if anyone knows what it might be and where I might find more info and pics about it. It does look really great with those wheels. It's alot of chrome however and I bet they'd weigh a ton. I did 19x8's that are 4lbs. lighter than my old stock 17's, but between the wider tire and open spoke design I lost 5-6mpg's. Doesn't bother me so much, but I know it does some people here.

    Here's a little more info about AME wheels in general. Pulled this from Vivid Racing's website.

    AME wheels are a pretty penny. Been looking around for a potential set for redrill to 5x100. I may just end up swapping the hubs on the car to fit 5x114.3 though
