    Very Nice.
    I really want upgraded wheels, but am hesitant to negativly impact my mileage. Those are really an improvment!

    Looks fantastic! I have a red 4 on order with PCP + ATP. Thinking about upgrade to 17" wheels. Will be watching your posts on MPG results.

    Very nice! I like the glossy black roof treatment. +1 on needing the fog lights installed.

    I like your mods very much. Did you have the small windows in from of the drivers and passengers side windows tinted? Also did you have tint applied to the moon roof? I will be having my windows tinted next week and I would appreciate your feedback on these questions. Thanks!

    The vfs1 doesn't come 17. 19" is their smallest. Nice wheels but expensive.

    With the even higher MPG of the Gen 4, I think you guys can afford to take a hit. The way a car looks and handles is important. As long as you're getting 40mpg avg, I think you're far ahead of the game. So if your 52 mpg prius now gets 50 mpg with different wheels or tires... thats not a big deal.

    Who did you buy the rims from?
    What other model rims did you look at?
    Did you decide to keep the stock wheels and tires?

    I really like the way the rims dresses up the car. They look superb!
    I have a four touring with 17" OEM rims and quite frankly I don't like the stock Toyota wheels and tires. The grey section on my four touring wheels are plastic and they are plastic rivots D one. So if I did decide to upgrade I would sell the OEM crap wheel tires. Did you remove the tpms on the former rims and then put them on the new wheels. Did you keep the tires or craiglisted them?

    Bought the rims from a local shop. They are Niche Targa 17 X 8 Anthrachite. Gonna give the stock wheels and tires to my son who has a Prius.
