two eco

I got my Two ECO yesterday. I'll attach pictures of the tires, but I don't know how helpful they will be.

 

Are those black rims under the Eco's wheel covers?

 

I'll go take a picture from an angle. The black that you see on the rim covers is black paint on the plastic wheel cover.

 

Ok thanks, I did mean to say the rims under the wheel covers though. I test drove a base two the other day and the wheels under the covers were silver unlike the past 3 years in which the liftbacks had black painted wheels..

 

Gotcha. I couldn't get a great picture of the rims, even at an angle. I experience stress hanging a picture on the wall, so I'm too scared to take the hubcaps off. The place where the plastic hub cap touches the metal rim seems to be grey to me.

You guys should keep quiet about the silver rims. Toyota will catch wind, go back to painting them black.

 

Figure I would post this here "Car and Driver" results of four touring to a Eco

Funny they only average 44mpg in the touring and 47mpg in the ECO.

 

And better g force numbers with the ECO and its narrower/taller LRR tires.
