    I am looking to swap the wheels that came with my 2011 Prius III Plus Performance Package. They are 17" alloy wheels- 5-spoke split lightweight forged wheels with 215/45R17 all season tires. Very good condition, almost no blemish. I can provide more photos if needed.

    I would love to swap with someone who has the Persona Wheels or a nice alloy that doesn't require so thin of a tire. The ride can be kinda harsh on these with the suspension set up. Thanks.

    Just a heads up. The Persona wheels are the same size as your existing wheels and tires. Sounds like you may have chosen the wrong car if you're not liking the ride. The lowering springs are stiffening the ride a bit as well. So between the low profile tires and lowering springs, you're going to feel a lot more of the road. Hope this helps you decide what you're going to do. Car looks great by the way. I love that package on these cars. I wish it was available when I bought mine. Good luck.

    CaseyGoodnight, what make/model are the rims you're looking to trade?

    If I'm reading right and by his description I would say the are the 17" wheels that are included with the Perfromance Plus package from Toyota. I believe they are made by Rays for Toyota. Here's a pic that I just pulled up so you know what you're looking at. image.jpg

    I wish he was looking to go the other way and wanted bigger wheels because I'm trying to swap back to stock 17's or at least decent 17's so I can trade in my car at the end of the month.

    The Ray's engineering wheels from the PPP are forged wheels, so they are lighter and stronger than the Persona or trim 5 17 inch wheels.

    What's your location? Not stated in your profile...

    With the sunny avatar pic/ no snow or ice I'll go ahead and assume not near me...

    I'd be interested in buying your plus wheels of the price is right. I am in Nj but can travel to save on shipping.
