    Is there a wheel manufacturer that makes prius friendly wheels? Something that is light AND attractive?

    I'm know it's a stretch but I'm looking for something in black w/ yellow highlights. (I know I said it's a stretch) and I'd like to stay in the 15" size but I'm not having much luck finding anything in my google searches.

    I tried the wheel finder on the tires.com website but I don't like any of those...

    Buddy Club Racing rims come in yellow/black. Very light weight and cheap.

    If you want the best, check out the Volk Racing EcoDrive series. They originally came out for the Prius. Now they sell them for other vehicles as well. They are available in 15" and 16" size. Much lighter than stock.
    weight comparison

    15 inch: 10.1 lbs
    16 inch: 10.8 lbs

    Prius factory wheels
    15 inch 14.3 lbs
    16 inch 15.2 lbs

    They're not cheap however!
