Bill, Stock Wheels? Are those stock wheels without the trim rings? They look good; did the rings leave scratch marks when you took them off?
Stock wheels, no trim rings. They are sitting in my well house, ready to go back on with the Integrity Tires when I trade the Silver Cloud in on the next generation Prius...
Some here have speculated that they provide similar advantages in aerodynamics as solid discs except they don't look as futuristic as solid discs.

Bill, Have you noticed any difference in your gas mileage since you removed your plastic wheel trim? Bernie Super white 2005 Prius
Well I'm not Bill but I took mine off when I saw Bill's car at our Prius Meet Group in Portland. No difference that I can tell.
Brrrr... do you call your Prius 'Silver Cloud'? I actually managed to collide with a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud '62 a couple of months ago. The ***** was driving in the wrong direction on a one way street, but I was driving my Prius out from a garage so the bill is on me. My front bumper was not a pretty sight, neither was his rear fender. Well, at least no one was hurt.
Hi Bernie, I have noticed no difference in MPG with or without the trim rings. And I like the look better without. I'm sorry you bumped into the other kind of Silver Cloud, swepri. I call my car the Silver Cloud because it's so quiet and floats serenely down the road. The RR Silver Cloud is another fine car, but I prefer my Prius.
