    Sorry guys. Had answered from my phone and doing again now. Things got a little crazy and weather has sucked here at home the last two days. Will upload pics from my phone to the computer tomorrow morning so I can make them the right size to attach them to my reply. I know everyone is waiting. I'm hurrying, I promise. Was just hoping to have nicer weather so I could actually wash the car and have it look really good. Be back in the morning.

    Ok, here's a couple quick pics to hold you over. Been raining here so car certainly isn't clean but you'll get the idea.

    P.S., these were just taken with my iPhone so will have better pics with my big Canon once the weather and time permit.

    Looking nice. What % are the tints on the front? Looks pretty dark for CA. I know police around my area will pull people over for dark tints :/


    iPhone ?

    Well about bloody time...

    Let me be a real bastard and say...I don't like em....

    Maybe more photo's?

    In the light they look good...but in the dark? You can barely see them and they just look like plain rims...almost like you have nothing...

    So I think I'd like em during the day...but not like them at night.

    Show me more photos....I can't tell.

    Understood. Like I said it was with my iPhone and not the best conditions. Will certainly get better ones out, but may not be until next weekend. Supposed to rain most of the week.

    Those are sick! I love them! Please let us know the MPG impact as I am probably going to do something similar to that. Thanks for putting up the pictures!

    I'm not exactly the one to take MPG readings from. Not your typical Prius model driver. Seems I'm at about the same as before as the Enkei's I replaced. Averaging about 45-45mpg's.

    Oh and to answer earlier question about tint. 35% front, 20% rears.

    Looks pretty good. If I had to choose I would do without the blue accent on them. It shows up a little too much for my taste. Nice ride!

    It's all good Nuckz. To each his own and thank you for the compliment. As for the wheel model, I got the letters backwards for those asking. They are the Wedssport SA-55M's. They have different colors available as well. Red I know for sure. None the less. Hoping to wash my car on Friday finally and hopefully get some good pics to post by the weekend. None of the pics I've posted so far do the car or wheels any justice.

    Thanks Robert. Can you tell the sun to come out? I'm tired of this rain. Believe me as soon as the weather breaks I'm detailing the car and taking a ton of pics. Still wanting to get down your way and meet up with you here one of these days. Talk to you soon.

    Ok, still waiting on a good day in the sun. I was in a hurry this evening but was finally able to give her a quick bath and snap some more pics. More this weekend. I promise as long as the weather holds up. What's with the crazy So. Cal weather these days. It seemed like it was never going to stop raining. Not to mention, things have just been hectic around the house lately. Here ya go. They are slightly enhanced with Photoshop Elements, but it at least gives you a better idea of how they look. Still waiting on my spacers.

    Thanks Shawn for sharing. I have a Carolina Hurricanes license plate holder on mine so that alone make my V better looking than yours. :)
