I suppose I could have put this in Appearance, or Mileage, but it's really a general question. Over on Yahoo there's constant debate about the differences between the US and EURO suspesions and the tuning for the different Wheel sizes. I was just wondering if anyone here had a Prius where the dealer (seems region dependent) had put on the 17" wheel package. Do you have pictures? What are your ride/handling impressions? How is your mileage? If you have had a chance to drive Prii with stock rims and the aftermarket rims, what differences have you noticed?
Mybrid posted some pics with 17" rims over here: http://www.priuschat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2059 I believe this car is in Japan, though.
Yeah. They do look nice. I was wondering specifically about the ones that some US regions appear to be offering as an 'option' (as in, hey, we put these rims on and we're charging you for them if you wan the car). I forgot one question - What rubber did they put on those rims?
