    Hey everyone,
    I'm new to the Prius environment, I traded in my 2007 civic si for a 2010 Toyota Prius III. I've been doing little mods including my lights and now I'm looking at some wheels.

    The wheels of choice are from tire rack and they are O.Z Ultraleggera

    Size 18 x 8
    5 x 100
    Offset: 48mm
    Backspacing: 6.38"
    O.Z. Ultraleggera Bright Silver Paint


    Here is some pics of my Prius with the current mods I've done.

    I have 18x7.5 with a 48 offset and they're almost flush in the front and about .75" in in the rear. The 18x8 should fill up the front nice but you may want a spacer in the rear. Just my 2 cents. :D

    15mm to match the front. You'll have to roll rear fenders or itll rub on bumps. Get project kics or ichiba with built in studs

    I think ill just go with the O.Z alleggerita hlt which are 18 x 7.5 so I don't have to worry about any rubbing issues. Plus their lite and I'm a huge o.z fan. Due to having black o.z ultraleggera's on my 08 white speed 3. I know what a change. Especially to a Prius which it does suck at times especially having no power but the mileage and the price at the pump makes up for it. Big time!

    Plus my wife wants a black Prius now, and she drives a white Volkswagen EOS.
