    Hey all,

    now, my Prius has new alloys, grey ones in 16" with 195/55 16 Michelin Tyres.

    And, self designed, one-of-a-kind hubcaps, created just for me.


    What do you all think about the wheels and the self-designed hubcaps?

    Greets,
    Dominik

    These are 3D high quality gel and self-adhesive stickers. Absolutely UV-resistant, car wash resistent and can be removed without leaving any residue. They are no cheap film stickers.

    The Rims are from the company Platin, i think you wont know them in the US.

    Well, i have no idea how to change it.

    And its the same material then aftermarket hubcaps are made of.

    Here is a pic of the old one i had to remove to put mine on afterwards

    Oh yes. Can last way longer in electric mode before recharging. Lower fuel consumption, very much more silence while rolling.
