    Hello

    I'm getting my Prius tomorrow (hopefully)...I want to get black rims, 18s wheels , for my blizzard Prius.

    I went to Discount Tires, AMerica Tires bookmark it...I want the "MB WHEELS" called "Drifter."




    Does anyone have 18's on their Prius? IS this a good idea?

    thanks

    i have 17s on my gen II... there was a dealer installing 18s at one point ( in L.A. )

    i assume 18's shouldn't be too much of a problem (if one at all) for the Gen III prius.

    Don't get the drifter rims, they're heavy as hell. Gunmetal or black ADVAN rims look way better on a white car on top of being a hell of a lot lighter.

    Not a fan of black/dark wheels. They scream "pimp my ride"!

    On a black M3...maybe. On a white Prius? Big skip for me.

    advans arent for the regular joe... they are expensive

    Gold Advan RSII's would look good in a 19" on a slightly lowered or stock prius
