    So here they are! Finally my new wheels are here! Only bummer is tires were on national back order so I won't have them until next week. Will definitely be taking pics after they are on with the proper spacers. I cannot wait!! These are Wedssport MA55S's in a 19x8 with a 50mm offset. Guessing probably about a 5mm offset in front and 10-15mm in the rear should get the stance just right. Oh and by the way, this pic does these wheels no justice what so ever. Stay tuned!!

    Those are nice! So a 19x8 can fit the Prius ? I'm surprised that is no too big. Are you gointo run a 35 sidewall?

    Those wheels are ridiculous man! Can't wait to see them mounted on your Prius.

    I'm not sure if you're aware of the PriusChat Terms of Use, but if sweet new wheels are shown in a post, pictures must be taken of those wheels on an actual Prius.

    Failure to follow this rule can result in disgruntled other members.

    Trust me, I will be taking tons of pics once they are on. Yes, to answer one of the questions, I will be running 225/35/19's. Seen them fitted on quite a few, mostly from Japan, but none the less. As for MPG's, the Enkei's I'm running now are right about the same weight as these 19's. They are at 20lbs. each and are just gorgeous. Don't expect things to change much, not to mention I am certainly not the king of MPG's. I typically average 45mpg's driving 70+ miles per day. Believe me, I was super excited thinking I was going to have my wheels on by this weekend and now it may not be until mid next week. Driving me nuts just looking at them sitting there in their boxes. If the stupid tires weren't on back order and coming from Georgia, they'd be on by today and probably would have been driving down after work to install the spacers. I'll keep everyone posted. I promise.

    They don't glow. They have grooves milled out of the sides of the spokes and are anodized blue. Almost a dead on match of the Hybrid Blue color. The finish on the rest of the wheel is like a semi-gloss black with a faint hint of a blue tint. Like I had said, the picture does these wheels no justice. Will get one out in the sun over the weekend and take a couple more pics and post them while waiting on my tires.

    I'm usually not a fan of "other" colored wheels but daaayummm! Those are nice and if paired with a blue GenIII it's going to look great!

    Can't wait to see how these look man. I ordered 17s but I'm kinda scared they're not going to be big enough with the tall stance this car has.

    Nice! I wish I could get some wheels once I get the prius but we drive way too much to sacrifice the mpg :(

    Come on OP!

    If you are going to title your post "Look at What I got!" then only provide one photo, inwhich you yourself admit the photo does no justice...and "Stay Tuned"...

    Then you need to come back with more photo's!

    How are we suppose to "Look at What You Got?"...remote viewing?
