Default Will these rims fit an 08 Prius?

I was looking for a good set of very light-weight 15-17 inch rims for my pgk 2 08 Prius. After some of googleing, I came across the Buddy Club P1 Racing QF rim. Buddy Club market this rim as an "Ultra Lightweight Rim" to find out more check out the Buddy Club website, they also claim that the weight of this rim was 9.13 lbs!!!! while still maintaining structural rigidity. So after all that will these rims fit my car? Now would these get better MPG because there lighter than the stock Prius rims?

They look nice... I like 'em... But they also look expensive!

If they come in a 5 x 100mm measurement they should fit a Prius...

They will fit if the bolt pattern is the same and offsets are close. Check at www.tirerack.com to get that info. Buddyclub makes nice stuff. Those wheels are forged and should be very strong.

The OEM wheel specifications are PCD=100,# of holes=5, offset=45.
15 inch standard:15X6JJ
16 inch Turing:16X6JJ

Anyway, Japanese hypermilers are saying the light weight wheels does not always show better MPG.
