Friends: 63 | WOW!! Finally!! Specific light rim for Prius. More spec would be nice. Can it beat 15" Traklite 10lbs? 16x6JJ is for Touring Ed. I've never seen an after market rim with that dimension before. |

Friends: 0 | BTW, I am not a vendor. I am a potential Prius owner just doing some research on the car. I am a long time member of NASIOC.com in the market for a new Prius. Cheers! |

Friends: 63 | I am in contact with Fuji Corporation (in Japan) if they offer a discount for a group buy. On their website, a pair of 15" and snow tires for around $1,340. However, the shipping cost the site estimated to US is more than the price. I asked them to check for more accurate shipping fee and if they can sell just the rims. I'll keep you posted... |

Friends: 0 | I might be interested in purchasing four of those rims; 16" size, along with a set of lighter weight 205/55-16 handling oriented all season tires. Do keep us posted and PM me if you'd like to discuss further! --Natalie |

Friends: 0 | If it helps, I believe Evasive Motorsports is a U.S. distributor for Volks. http://www.evasivemotorsports.com (626) 336-3400 They're a sponsor on another board I frequent, and they seem to have had good feedback there. If there was enough interest I'm sure they'd be able to put together a group buy. |
