Sorry this isn't actually a pic of rims on a Prius, but I wonder how some of these would look:

I wouldn't mind the SP10 in hyper-black. At 17 lbs I wonder how much they would affect the mpg. Though I know rim weight isn't the only factor that would drag the FE down.

Prius Lowered on B&G Springs with Buddyclub P1 Racing Sf 17x7.5

 

Are you going to move TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) in it?

I heard the TPMS in the OEM wheels will fit in the Volk Eco Drive. Can you confirm if TMPS fit in TE37 as well?

 

It looks like the front wheel needs air.

 

yes I will moving the TPMS.... I believe (hope I'm right) our TPMS will fit the TE37s (same manufacturer of the Eco Drive)....

I hope the mileage would not be that bad (I'm currently using touring wheels) ... the weight of the wheels w/ the tires is about 19 lbs each...

 

mrplease, I really like your wheels!! I have a white Prius & preferred those you have, but I probably won't update anytime soon. Do you notice any change in mileage? Good looking, but I am old school & mine look ok at 90mph at midnight. Ha!

 

Nothing fancy, inexpensive set of 16X7 Motegi MR7 42mm offset. I've been running a set of 205/55 16 Goodyear TripleTreds since May 2005. Mileage wasn't affected too much. In Summer our '05 gets 50 to 56 mpg and 46 to 48 in Winter, pretty much rural commuting with little city duty.

Recently I bought a Vibe and donated the new OEM GY RS-A tires to replace the worn TripleTreds on the Prius. Much softer ride, but less linear steering. Will see how Summer mileage develops with these tires.

 

Bino - NICE! Any issues with rubbing since you're going 1.5" wider?

 

that i will know this Sat (I'll be installing the wheels on Sat).... hopefully there will be no rubbing issues (I'm also using TRD sportivo suspension)...... but I think our prius has room for 7.5" rims as long at the offset is 45+ (not 100% sure on this one)......
