    Hey all!

    I just got my Prius C 4 (2016) and was wondering if anyone has had their Wheels painted? and if it makes more sense to just buy new? And if buying new wheels, whats the biggest that will fit right on a C ?

    Low cost option is PlastiDip spray. Many color options available and finishes. Best thing is that it's removable should you change your mind later.

    What size are the Prius C 4 Wheels and Tires for 2016? I am looking at these Konig Illusion custom rims

    And want to know if I would be able to use my current tires.

    When I bought my C Four I went through the same thing, ended up buying a new set of wheels/tires from Tirerack.com. I saw there was a market for the Four's wheels so I sold them and recouped a good bit of the cost of the new set since I went with 16's (16x7, 195/50's).
