So I went to the dealer the other day for a new battery, saw a mean looking prius outside (oxymoron, I know). I inspected it a little bit, and while I didn't wanna deal with any sales people, I ran home to try and google it up. Apparently there's a prius + model coming out that's supposedly sporty. Anyway, I thought these wheels would look pretty good on our tC, check em out:

(ones i saw were a dark gunmetal)

Good change up from the typical split 6 spoke we're used to seeing. To my knowledge, we both rock the same bolt pattern as well. Anybody rocking this set up yet, though? Or any photoshop experts here able to do an artist's rendering on how these wheels might look on our car?

 

I know which one you are talking about, saw it at the dealership near my house. Good idea on the wheels. Considering they are aiming for fuel economy, the wheels should be relatively light.

 

i want to see how these Prius wheels look on a tC.


I didn't know TRD makes lowering springs and a rear sway bar for the Prius LOL.

wonder how much the body kit (says it even includes close-out panels for aero effect) and the lowering springs help. Reducing drag by a couple percent has GOT to help the prius get max MPGs. Honestly I think done up, the prius is wicked cool.

 

i thought the same thing about those wheels when i saw it at the dealer!

 

I didn't know they are forged.

 

Well ...we know they're forged, allegedly light...and with OEM quality. Sounds good to me. Out of reach for a person on a budget as tight as mine, but the 1,300 I'm seeing these go for on Ebay and at dealers seems almost like a steal (no tires).

 

the wheels on the new prius are pretty nice! they would look good on a lowered tC especially on a FM tC.

 

epic fail
