    And a very very slight MPG loss but visually more appealing I agree. Can you post a picture of your ride I don't think I have seen it anywhere recently

    We passed by another silver third gen today, and until we got right up beside it thought it had snow tires on. Finally saw they were black alloys.

    Just my 2 cents, they could have at least left them silver.

    When you installed your roof wrap didn't it look goofy at first. The more and more I look at it its reminds me of the Model 3 roof lines except the side roof frame on our Gen 4 doesn't extend all the way back it stops towards the end.

    Definitely cool.

    I really like it. Especially with the vortex generators to provide an exclamation point.

    Now I just have to remove that dumb reverse beep or have the dealer do it.

    The stock tires are Toyo NanoEnergy A29 195/65R15.

    Do you think I'll take a significant mpg hit with these tires I plan on getting? 17" Toyo Versado Eco 215/45/17

    I really love the black roof wrap, contemplating doing this also! Would you mind posting the cost of having the wrap installed? Thanks

    Not a BIG hit, but some loss of economy.

    Now that I think of it I have not seen too many vehicles on here that have changed up their rims have you?

    I'm wondering if I should just stay put and just remove the hubcaps if anything. Plus I live in WI so I wonder how these Niche rims will hold up over time. The 17" tires are not really classified as low profile.

    The rims without hubcaps are a good first option. Maybe painting them.

    I would love to see some more pics of members who removed the hubcaps. I gotta search around I found a couple.

    Put the 17's on in the spring/summer/fall and run the stock rims/tires in the winter...

    Or I can always leave these on, save the cash and the mpg's and have someone paint them gray for me. Save a headache and possible installation issues

    In the end those Niche rims the other member had on are nice, but now I'm thinking I don't want to be a target for someone looking to steal rims either. Plus when the time are dark they all sort of look the same anyway. From far at least. Lol

    Btw how do I add the Toyota center cap back on the stock rims from the hubcaps. I suppose they can't come on and I'll have to buy them separately.
