Show off your Rims

burnout,

What exact tire size are you running ?

Did you install a spacer for that bigger +48 offset ?

I'm running 215/45-17 - the correct size to match the diameter of the factory tires. Fits great!

No spacers, the offset is almost identical to the factory +45. I can't even tell the difference at a glance. The wheels supposedly sit 3mm further in the wheelwells now. Less dirt on the fenders, I guess.

 

It was my first mod a few hours after bringing it home - I think the factory badges are a little shouty about it being a hybrid. Some day when most cars are hybrid/electric maybe they won't have to over-badge them as such.

 

I did the same. Took the hubcaps off, front plate, and debadged. Way cleaner!

 

I put Avalon wheel caps on it instead of the Konig caps and it looks more OEM

 

Did you do it yourself? I see Amazon kits to do it for about $60 or less. How much did you pay and how happy are you? Did you consider matte black as well? I'm still trying to decide...

 

I had it done professionaly for $500. I was gonna DIY but it won’t last longer than 6m-1 year. Iam extremely happy with it. I only got gloss because all the other accents are gloss black. Are you in CA?

 

My Summer setup. 18inch Rotiform CCV. Gonna Drop the front another inch once my camber bolts come in. No rubbing rite now...

 

Not even a fan of rota fail wheels but I think those match the car great

THIS is the look I want! Very nice!

Do you have the RSR prime specific springs or GEN4? Thanks!

 

These are the prime specific ones

 

Thanks! I'm motivated to mod mine now!!!

 

looks great son. just wish these were 18's not 17's. primes a good size car would look much better

 

Would’ve loved 18s too I think that’s the sweet spot. But they come in 18x10 on next size for the 5x100 and I was able to snag these 17 for a lightening deal

 

i just love those rims! How expensive were they?

Noticed any decrease in mileage?

 

Yes how are the 17" wheels affecting your EV range? Obviously its also contingent upon how lightweight the wheels are....

Sidenote - its amazing how much better the prime looks on a nice set of 17's.

 

@triggerhappy007 @dalecooper - I'm getting approximately 8-9MPG LESS since switching to my new wheels/tires. I knew I'd take a hit but surprised at the loss. I drive almost exclusively on electric because my commute is 15 miles each way to work so I am still getting 110MPG on average so I didn't mind a small hit for a world of difference visually. I didn't compare OEM to new wheels but I'm sure I'm a couple of pounds heavier on each corner.
