    Just picked up an '05 and two of the wheels have pretty nasty curb rash. I want to replace them with stock wheels that are clean and straight.
    Live in SoCal, will pay reasonable price. Beauty rings are not a must.
    Need ASAP.

    If you get replacements, can you ship one of your useable take offs to me so that I can have a full size spare for my 2004 Prius in CT. I'll pay reasonable shipping costs.

    I found a couple yesterday.
    Will a full size spare fit in the mini-spare compartment?

    With some adjustments (either carefully bend or cut off a bit of the HV battery lower flange) and perhaps low inflation (I keep a charged up jumper battery unit with an air pump in my 2004 Prius at all times). You will loose the tool carrier to give the needed tire height.

    Dude,
    Please be aware, as a former owner of a 2005 and a 2008 Toyota Prius, the full size spare WILL NOT fit in the OEM tire storage compartment.
    *edit* oh these were the stock 15" wheels too!!!!
    I encountered this when I got flats on both cars and changed over to the spare. It was REALLY annoying the first time as I had nothing to cover my carpet and ended up dirtying my carpet. The second time around, my trunk was kind of 1/2 full and I ended up throwing the flat into the back seat (although I had garbage bags in my storage compartment the second time around). *gripe gripe*
    I better check my 2011...

    yeah, I checked it out, don't think I'll be carving up the trunk. Like the tool tray.
    I have one wheel you could ahevfor the cost of shipping, but it's got a pretty good chink in the outer rim. Held air fine though.
