    I saw these on a new tc scion today, they look great. They are 18". I'm currently running the older 17" scion tc rims on my gen 3. They are nice because they are cheap to buy and good quality oem take off rims. Also the tpms sensors fit.
    I just wonder if a set of these ( 2014 scion tc rims and tires )will fit without switching to crazy low profile tires.

    These would be cool on a prius. How much do people normally ask for these?

    Those will not directly fit the hatch Prius. The new Scion tc uses a different bolt pattern.

    That's too bad. I just saw a set for $400. Any other direct fit take offs out there?

    You could look into using a hub adapter. You will need to take measurements though. It will likely push the front wheels protrude passed the fender arches

    Saw these on a gen 2 the other day. I think they are the older Subaru wrx sti rims.
    I'm going to start looking for a set.

    Those are WRX wheels. The only STi wheels that would fit ours is from 2004. I think the 2007 had them. I'm sure a few other years had them too.

    The 04 sti wheels look pretty good. They are real bbs wheels. Used set will only be about $400-$500
    I think that some are gold and some are silver color. I wonder if the gold would look good on a black gen2
    Oops the above wheels don't fit. Only the older less attractive version fits...
