    HMM wouldnt chrome be a bit heavy? I'm looking at getting a 6'' wide rim that's taller (17''?) than OEM but with a lower profile tire to keep the stock wheel/tire radius in tact. We have the black C2 so I'm thinking black outside on the rim with a blue accent inside wheel paint that matches the blue of the toyota logos. Or just all black.

    very nice man. there should be a list of wheels that will work with the tire pressure sensor gauge as i was seeing some wheels didn't work out as well (kkim) how much were these and on another note what else did you do to your ride besides tint and rims?

    The wheels were 360 plus tax and the lugs were 60. The labor to swap the tires and sensors over and to mount the wheels was 15 a pop. Total was 518.85 taxes and all. So not too bad.
    Nothing else yet. The only thing I'm going to do is get the shark fin and once the trd body kit reaches this side of the pond then ill just jump on that. All aesthetics for this car. Nothing else.

    Did you keep the stock tires? Please SAY YES! If so I'm going to copy you. I'm on the eastcoast so it wouldn't matter :) Those look awesome. Tire-rack has some nice options for prius c but they all are pretty heavy.

    Looks great, and that's so much less expensive than I would have guessed. Good choice :)

    I've never done this before, but I definitely would like to put rims on my c. Is it easy enough to sell the old wheels to make up some of the cost?

    Do you have stock steel or alloys?

    I have the stock wheels, couldn't find a C at an honest price anywhere near me that included alloys.
