    Hello Prius fans, what it is. I did some research on this forum before making the move, both on tires and wheels (will reply to that thread as well). Here's the specs and pics for anyone interested. In general I am satisfied and happy with the upgrade. Expect a 2-7 MPG hit depending on your driving conditions, however, the grip and stability of the 17s is worth it for me.

    2015 Prius C II
    Original 175/65/15 tires
    stock 15" hubcaps

    New 215/45/17 Bridgestone Ecopia Plus tires
    DR-33 17" White Wheels







    If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Cheers

    Very nice rims. Those are some wide tires for the c !

    I do very much like the "half" side painting of the rear lights rather than the full side

    Those white wheels look good on your car. Are they difficult to clean?

    I replaced our 195 65R 15 OE tires with 205 65 15s which is about the same tire diameter diff as your upgrade. And I noticed a dip in mpg too. If your experience is anything like mine was you may get some mpg back as the tires get broken in.
