    IMHO I would leave them on…..

    The tire weight just sticks out like a sore thumb… If you must do it, get yourself some black lug nuts and see if a tire show can balance your wheels with a stick weight instead.

    Or plasti-dip your hubcaps… you can always peel it off later

    I have a C also, and I want wheels for it, so I know your pain…. I'm trying to find some C take offs or swap for some nice VW wheels I have in my garage… work in progress…

    Moonglow paint on your C???

    Welcome to the Prius Community and the Prius family…..

    Glad you're now a contributor rather than a lurker…. Don't be skurred lol we're all cool people here, I mean hello we all drive a Prius lol…

    I know some people who have your model Prii simply remove the hubcaps, you actually have black gloss rims under there… all you need is to purchase a center cap and BAMM… instant upgrade….

    Welcome to the Prius Life!

    Congrats on the ride and welcome to both the Prius family and the Prius Community!

    You're in for a ride…. It'll start with I got this to save gas, then you'll find all the money you've saved on gas has freed up money for other things lol like MODS…

    Everyone here is pretty cool and always willing to help… You'll learn a lot….

    Welcome!

    Yes, they are pretty different. I think it's because the C is 500 lbs lighter. The C can cruise in EV mode up to 45 MPH, while the full size Prius doesn't allow EV mode over some very low speed -- around 21 MPH from what I've observed. And the MPG ratings in the C can be mind blowingly high -- 55 to 90 MPG! While its big brother seems to rate merely outstanding MPG around 45 to 51.

    I do miss the PC eco meter.

    The eco score helps educate you on efficient driving technique with instantaneous feedback. And the real time MPG for the current trip is always there. The graphic design and the LCD seem more modern than the vacuum florescent.

    This is true…. I notice though I can get the Gen3 to coast and glide better than the C, but the C is fun to drive and is more of a game than the Gen3…. DO you miss your mirror signals yet? lol…. Highest I've gotten my Gen3 is 55 mpg. 58 on the C…… but I like the amenities of my Gen3 better than the C…. wish I would have gotten a C4 vs a 1, especially seeing I have a Gen3 pkg 5 lol…

    Yeah I do wish the Gen3 had a numeric instant mpg vs the bar… I'm always looking for everything when I switch between the two vehicles….

    I never knew that about the C cruising in EV mode at that speed, I will have to give it a try….

    :cry:This was two weeks ago. More east coast snow and sleet tomorrow (Monday) with low high temperatures until Wednesday. I prefer looking at snow in someone else's pictures.

    Follow this simple, six-step, cognative exercise:

    1) Close your eyes.
    2) Imagine a 2014 Toyota Prius.
    3) Imagine a 2014 Toyota Prius model 4.
    4) Imagine a 2014 Toyota Prius model 4, in Classic Silver Metallic exterior.
    5) Imagine a 2014 Toyota Prius model 4, in Classic Silver Metallic exterior, with Misty Gray Softex® interior.
    6) Imagine a 2014 Toyota Prius model 4, in Classic Silver Metallic exterior, with Misty Gray Softex® interior, in Tucson, AZ.

    ...Tah, dah! That's our car! Which the wife & daughter have nicknamed "Ms. Sassy Chassis."

    Picked up a 2008 Package #6 with 86k. Already tinted windows 35/20% and LED lights. Gonna red out the tails and have plans for other stuff. Already about 600+ within a week and saving a lot of money since gas is half compared to our other family hauler [​IMG]
