    This is my 2024 Prius Prime XSE Premium. Just put on my summer wheels and wanted to share. What a great car! Hoping to ride the wheels off it and keep it for 10+ years

    I do like me some easy mods, this is what I've done:
    - Lexus NX F-sport shift knob
    - Lexus horn
    - Viofo A119m Pro dash cam daisy-chained off the digital mirror power

    Summer wheels are 16" Enkei YS5 on 205 65 16 Michelin Defender 2 tires.

    Those are pretty wheels I wish the tires looked as clean shiny as the wheels...

    If it were my car I'd plasti-dip spray paint a black strip under the doors and bottom of the bumper covers. Not only will it protect the paint at the bottom of the car, it will make the car look cleaner and smaller, especially if you could lower it with air bag suspension. I'd probably also use the same paint on the top of front bumper cover in front of the hood after removing the Toyota badge before it gets all dinged up...

    I think the smaller wheels make the rotors look bigger!
