    Which wheel do you think would look best. All are Rial 6.5X15 with 38mm offset. Really like to keep the 15" size. and not too outrageous a wheel. Thinking 38mm offset is enough?

    The Milano. However, I like the standard rims without the hub caps myself.

    I would go with B. BTW, +38 will fit with the rim quite flush with the fender. Here's a pic of my 17s with a +38 offset.

    I leaning towards the B. (Milano) wheel. If I remember right, by doing a search your 17's are 8" and they are not too exposed and looking very good. So I should be good to go with 38mm offset and 6.5 rims.

    Thanks for the compliment on my wheels. Yes, my 17s are 17x8. Ideally, I would of liked a 17x7 or a 17x7.5 but the model that I purchased only came in a 17x8. They did come in a +38 or a +45 offset, however.

    If you want the wheel to fit flush with the fender, then yes go with the +38. While a +38 offset will fit, some people may not like the "look." Some prefer a less aggressive offset, such as 40-45mm, because they want their wheels to be tucked into the wheel well. Doing so would help with aerodynamics and potential for rock chips. I went with a +38 because I'm not a fan of sunken in wheels. If the tire rack configurator says it'll fit, then it should fit and not stick out. Hope this helps.

    I like C the best out of the above choices. The stock black Prius wheels just look like steelies in pictures & driving down the road.
