Just purchased new Prius Four

Just took delivery of a new Prius package Four with moonroof on Saturday.

Neither of us liked the the stock wheels at all (due to the plastic wheel covers) so we had a set of 15" American Racing AR896 installed today (shown on the picture).

We also had 3M tint applied to the back windows and rear window.

Only got a little over 100 miles on to date, but we are very happy with it so far and are looking forward to greatly reduced fuel costs (replaced a Lexus RX 330).

Did plenty of research on pricing and visited a few local dealers and ended up with a price I'm happy with (I could only take talking to so many car salespeople!)

I'd be interested to hear any comments on what people think of the wheels.

 

It's 80% (or 20% which ever way it is they call it) - only lets 20% of the light through.

It's 3M and came with a warranty from 3M.

 

I think they are a little over 17lbs each - weight wasn't a factor in the choice it was replacement wheels at a reasonable price that we both liked aesthetically. They were about $560 installed with different lugs required.

 

It has the lit door sills & preferred premium accessory package ( mats, cargo net & mat, first aid kit).

MSRP is $33652 - we paid $31200.

I did have a lower quote online - about $30,500 (without the door sills & accessory package) - but I could only take so many car salespeople & this dealer give me an upfront out of the door price when I asked them.

 

Yes it has the deluxe solar roof package & the blizzard pearl is a "special color" (which means they charge for it)

 

We personally feel they look so much better than the stock wheels / covers, that was the one thing that neither of us liked about the look of the car and was something we wanted to change straight away.
