    Here is the official publication from Toyota Japan.
    Gen 5 17" wheel covers | PriusChat

    The center hub is slightly larger than the Gen4. I am not sure what options are available for the North America market for the wheel change, but IIRC, PriusV 17" wheel has the same spec as the Gen5 Prius 17" wheel.

    Thanks!

    So this could work as winter rims or summer rims.

    It’ll stick out by 10mm or barely noticeable.

    Excellent. So once we know the weight, we can determine if the FAST wheels are worth the cost for weight savings.

    It sounds like you're getting a Gen 5 Prius Prime PHEV. ;)

    One additional detail is that the reservoir blue is also available for the Prius Prime PHEV.

    Yeah I kind of worded that wrong. I should have said, "as an option it's cheaper than the panoramic glass roof option on the XSE".

    Another interesting observation:

    Solar roof and advanced park/panoramic-view monitor (PVM) are not compatible with each other.

    The options and packages on the XSE Premium are indeed complicated.

    Haha. I already have an EV.

    In Canada, that’s Maximum Yellow. :D

    My perfect world will be a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 on the stock 19" wheels, and a set of Nokian Haakapeliitta R5 in 205/55R17 on the WingDancer XX 17" wheels.

    Right now the closest Pilot Sport A/S 4 is a 225/45R19, which is a bit too wide to be comfortable, but a guy can hope.

    L2 charge speed is miserable. Is battery pack still cooled by cabin airflow?

    excellent question, as someone claimed it was liquid cooled before any information had been released

    Yes, Prius Prime can be used as a backup battery or generator for your house.

    Wonder how many amps can be pulled, 100% duty cycle versus a limited duty cycle.

    The XSE and XSE Premium have two 1500W 120V outlets. One in back of the front console for rear passengers and one in the driver's side of the cargo area, also 1500W 120V, so about 12.5 amps max for each outlet, but I'd plan on closer to 10A if used continuously. The one on the rear of the front console looks like its a 2 prong while the one in the cargo area is 3 prong. Not sure what the SE is set up for, maybe just one outlet.
