    So few upgrades on my 2014 Prius, Package 3 so far. I've just put in a set of 2014 Toyota Corolla S alloy wheels and tires which I'm very happy with. I've also blacked out the badges and black-chromed my emblems.

    Do the 2014 Toyota Corolla S alloy rims just bolt on? No spacers? No TPS (Tire pressure sensor) issues?

    The 2014-2016 Corolla S 17" rims bolt right on, no need spacers, same center bore, same bolt pattern. The S rims are 39et offset, so they sit more outward to the fenders than factory 5 and Persona rims, somewhat wider stance.
    You do have to swap your tire pressure sensors to these wheels as Corollas use diff sensors than Prius.
    Here's a picture of my Prius with S wheels.

    PriusChat / Montgomery.

    Yes, the 2014 Toyota Corolla S alloy wheels just bolted on with the OEM lug nuts. No spacers or modifications on the car were necessary. (Check out postings by PriusChat / jamessicat408 - he goes into the technical specs and how they match up exactly with the Gen 3 Prius). NO fit issues. Very simple and clean job to upgrade your Gen 3 Prius very quickly and makes a major impression right off the bat (its the first thing most people notice). I would recommend this upgrade to anyone that wants to change their Prius.

    BUT !! There are definitely TPMS issues. I figured since both the wheels sets came from relatively new car production years (both 2014) and both came from Toyota that the TPMS sensors would be interchangeable with the car. NOPE wrong. The problem is that Toyota cars are not built with Auto-Relearn TPMS modes with new sensor IDs as other cars (ie, Chevy Volt). Toyota cars need to be reprogrammed directly for new TPMS sensor IDs with TechStream (Diagnostic Mechanic Dealer tool).

    I had Les Schwab put on the tires for me. And they offered the simplest and easiest way to solve the Toyota new TPMS sensor IDs problem. They will put on the new tires and wheels, and use your current TPMS sensors from your OEM wheels. That way the car system don't need to relearn anything. The only problem is that this a manual service that they charge $$$ - they have to physically remove the sensor from one set of wheels to transfer them onto a different set. This is fine if you plan to keep one set of wheels on your car. I'd plan to put back my OEM wheels and tires during winter for snow and tire chains - I did not want to pay them twice a year forever !!!

    I do plan on getting some sort of device / program that will enable me to reprogram the TPMS sensor IDs. But not for a while. Currently its a very pricey solution. (There is a bluetooth device that interfaces with the PRIUS for programming modifications that is setup for DIY - but their TPMS option is not available for another few years)

    If I do find a low-cost solution I will let you guys know. For now I'm living with the TPMS warning light on my dash :(
