    Here's a pic of my '06 with 17x7 Motegi Racing SP10 Hyper Black rims with 205/45ZR17 General Exclaim UHP tires mounted. I got them from Tirerack and purchased new TMPS sensors and a Quickset. I haven't tried resetting the TPMS yet, but also the light hasn't turned on. I'm slightly curious as to why the system isn't confused that it's not getting a reading from the original sensors.

    Wow, you two are like the white Prius crew. Very clean setups, gentlemen.

    do you have a part number for the coilovers? I don't see that on the Tanabe website.

    What's the offset on the 17x7.5" TE's? I just picked up a Prius. I need to mod it quick.
    EDIT: Nevermind. They are +48.

    What are the more aggressive set ups out there (with and without rolled fenders)?

    actually looks like it might have settled a little F8, you brought it down what, about an inch f/r ?

    wheels suit it, its a good advertisement for the red colour ;)

    Thanks, sidecar!

    I think it has settled a bit but my old oem springs were sagging so low that the car doesn't seems as low as I expected. Comparing it to Genii's with less mileage and less saggy springs my car does appear much lower.

    Nice touring wheels. They are a great compromise between style and mpg.
