    The 2012 liftback (standard Gen III Prius) now come with black wheels and a new wheel cover design.

    Since you posted in the Prius c forum

    The Prius c come with either steel wheels or silver alloy depending on trim level.

    ummm what? there are no black wheels on the 2012 liftback, they are alloys, and the only non-silver alloys you'll ever see will be custom expensive ones.
    the c has steel wheels on 1, 2, and 3 standard, so they are "black". 3 has optional alloys while 4 comes with alloys standard.

    I can not speak to the Prius C as of yet, but the GenIII 2012 Prius has black alloy wheels and the caps are alot more reduced and show more of the hub, I think they are an improvement.
