    I currently own a 2013 Prius ii in winter Grey and can't decide on what wheel color to get.

    Looking at the following wheels:

    Prius plus in the chrome Grey color
    Enkie rfp1 in either silver or maybe black?

    It appears the gunmetal color or darkish Grey for a rim looks the best on the winter Grey. Wish it was a bit more black and then black wheels would look great.

    Pics and help is appreciated.

    mobile phone.

    google is your best friend when you need images. Rim color is personal preference, what looks nice to you won't apply to others. Best advice I can give you, go with what you like, forget what others like.

    Enkei RPF1 in SBC (special brilliant coating). It looks like a grey chrome or black chrome.

    There is an ace wheel you can only order through gulf States Toyota dealers, that 17 inch wheel looks awesome. Our member dorunron has a set on his new prius.

    :)Within one week of purchase of my 2012 WGM PIP , I put a set of the Prius 5, silver, 17", five spoke wheels on it. Later, I purchased a set of the Persona 17" wheels. The color of the Personal wheels, and darker tint look best on the WGM Prius.

    How did you come up with $158?

    I just called Champion Toyota and the parts department quoted me the following:

    $277.00 per wheel
    $25 freight/shipping per wheel
    Tax and other
    Total per wheel shipped came out to: $325.22

    That parts department has a regular over the counter price and an online price. That information was a direct email quote I got from their online sales department. The phone number is the direct number to the person that gave the quote.

    It's really up to you... I have 18x7.5 S6:F Silver Wheels on mine and I love the look. But then again, I've never been a fan of darker rims. All about going with what makes you happy (y)
