    Hahaha. These brands have always looked good on the Prius, and any other car for that matter.

    Taking a 2nd look, I'd like to recast my vote for the Focal F-10:D. At $100 a piece, it's icing on the cake;). Just curious, where is it priced so low bcause when I was checking these out 5+ month ago, tirerack were the cheapest at about $130, other sites had it for $150 or more(for 17's). d2mini, I wouldn't worry about the price & quality as I've heard the Focal company has been around for awhile:).

    You don't have to, if you like the 2012 Prius TRD body kit.

    haha, well i guess "JDM" is the opposite of what I'm looking for... compared to the inspiration pics I posted on the previous page. What's that style called? Thanks! :)

    It's called the style that actually looks good on the Prius ;)

    Actually, I love bino's bronze wheels on his BP, but if I had a silver Prius I'd pick the Momo Next over anything JDM.

    Just FYI, it's more aesthetically pleasing to have spokes that get narrower from the center of the wheel.

    Oh really? Who really cares what the spokes are doing. If a rim looks good (with the prius profile) then so be it. And FYI most of the pics you posted don't have obvious narrowing of spokes from the center. Just sayin...

    It should be +1 for Focal & -1 for Momo if my vote was changed;). Does that mean your leaning towards the Focal?

    Oh I see, you're more into the clean, classy look with the long, narrow chrome/silver spokes, and not the aggressive odd-colored JDM race look.;)

    Is the 40 offset working out ok? Your car is lowered, right?
    I'll be on eibach springs and the Focals are 40.
    I just realized the Momo wheel has a 35mm offset... i think that may stick out too much.

    Ya, and I just want something more modern. Something that looks like it was designed for the Prius. Most of those other wheel designs are so played out and look much too small. The Prius needs a little extra sumfin sumfin. ;)

    I'm there with you. I really don't like the 20yr old Tuner Boi look. I'm getting older and tend to lean more towards the clean OEM look that is featured on many newer Lexus models. :)

    I'm not lowered...offset seems to be spot on.

    "Obvious" is the keyword you used. I never said it had to be obvious.

    Hmm I'm not sure I understand this generalization. There's a fine line between the 2 styles you juxtaposed.

    ok guys, let's not start arguing.
    The JDM stuff just isn't my style, let's leave it at that, mkay? ;) :cool:

    BTW, Momo pulled ahead of focal again even with deducting one vote!
    But wouldn't 35 offset be too much for a lowered car (eibach springs)?
