    I only went up one size. No noticeable change in mpg.

    My 2 cents. Most of us driving Prius C's came from driving larger less fuel efficent cars or trucks. We went from 20ish MPG to 50+ MPG. So my point is why worry about loosing 4 to 6 MPG when you are making your car look cool and personalized. Your still about 20 MPG in the plus colume. The trade off is well worth it.

    Thanks to AutoMo, I got myself a set of Scion XB wheels. I was also considering several Honda 4x100 rim options, but these rims came at a reasonable price. I'm still trying to source Toyota caps for these wheels, hence no-caps. ;)

    mermaximus thanks for posting that awesome Black Prius. Love the wheels & ride height. Very cool. The more I see plus size Wheels on these cars the more I want some. Big wheels just make the car look right.

    I Like the XB rims!! Ordered and waiting for delivery on Monday! Called Tire Kingdom and they quoted $24 per wheel for installation including new TPMS kit. Is the TPMS kit needed? Can I not re-use the ones from my current wheels? Any suggestions on best way to the tires swapped? BTW, any luck with the covers?

    I paid the same for the rim/tire swap. You can use the same TPMS sensors, just make sure when they do the swap that they keep each sensor at the original wheel location. If you do that, you shouldn't have any problems! Handling feels a bit stiffer, though it's a tad bit more bumpy.

    Yeah, the XB rims looks more aggressive on the Prius C, while still looking factory. I think the optional alloys look a bit conservative.

    Here's a close-up (updated image with Toyota OEM center caps):

    I just ordered the Drag DR31 wheels in black for my C4 Habanero that I'm picking up today! I will be placing the OEM 15" alloys up for sale on this forum as soon as my DR31's arrive, this wheel thread has been very helpful in helping me decide what wheels to get, thanks all!

    I'm curious why people are running 185/65's? that increases the circumference and width. I always heard when you increase the width you decrease the height. 185/60's are just a tad smaller (-.8%) than stock 185/65's are 2.1% bigger, and wider. It seems on a small car this would be harder to spinn

    My first attempt to upload photos. These are Konigs from Discount Tire. 460.00 shipped. 15x7 with the 175x65 stock tires mounted. Offset is 40. Air sensors fit. No problem with wheel fitting.
