    I've always used stock wheels, but I would like to put winter tires on the stocks and get some new summer wheels. I do 85% highway, so I would like to keep them at 15" so I don't lose any mpg. These rims are on Craigslist locally for a good price, but what will I need to get them to work? I'm assuming spacers since the offset is only 38? The bolt pattern is fine, so my only other concern would be the larger bore size. Any input is much appreciated, as I would like to pull the trigger on these rims if I can make them work alright on the Prius :)

    5x100 Bolt Pattern
    72.6mm Bore
    Offset: 38
    Size: 15x6.5

    Thanks!

    Anyone know the answer to this? I don't want to bite the bullet and have issues after I buy :unsure:

    Just hubcentric rings to center the wheels before tightening the lug nuts.

    Try to find out how much the wheels weigh as well. If they're very heavy, you will lose mpg as well, even though they are 15 inches.

    According to Tirerack they weigh 16lb..
    I think the RPF's, PF01's, or NT03's may weigh less.
