    I just installed 15" aftermarket wheels with Bridgestone
    RE 960 AS pole position tires and mud flaps on my 2010.

    Waited 6 months and just took delivery on 12/3, 6 months and 1 day after placing order.

    I like it! The flaps really blend in nicely too.

    p.s. you need to update your information on the left side under your user name.

    Wheels came form the Tire rack and were $445 shipped, mudflaps cost $ 114 shipping included bought them on ebay from a Toyota dealer in England. There is another thread on the mud flap auction.

    Yours look great.
    I cant understand how Toyota can continue to design Prius wheels that look as bad as hubcaps?

    Here are a couple of pics of my 15" rims. They were $85 each from tire rack. I ordered them with my snow tires.

    The wheels look very nice. But I don't understand how anyone can have such a empty garage. Where do you keep all your junk? :D

    Now that you've had the new wheels for a couple of months, how did they impact your mpg's? Speedometer reading? General Road feel?

    Speedometer reading was unchanged since i bought the same size tires as the OEM,s. Due to the winter weather and temperatures way down low in January and February almost right after i took delivery (December)it is hard to say as things are just starting to warm up her this last week. Gut feel is MPG wasn't changed by much or maybe 2 mpg. Hard to say if it was the wheels or the tires or the mud flaps or probably all three put together.

    Has there been a survey to see what % of owners have taken the plastic covers off and just run the alloys?

    Both sets of 15" wheels I've seen so far in this thread look great. Their designs makes them appear larger than 15". Toyota are you listening?

    I still have my grand scheme of getting dark bronze colored Rotas or TE-37 replicas and lowering the Prius just a tad for that JDM look.

    I like the look of the stock 2010 Prius 15" wheels, although the plastic hub caps are ugly. I only keep them on because of the claim that they improve mileage.

    Nice wheels Judgeless.

    What brand and model are those?

    And please update us on MPG after the new wheel compare to stock wheels.

    What model wheels are they? Do the factory tires fit if you want?
