    Do you plan on smoking out your tail lights?

    I like the look but probably not. Already a bunch of black in them. I'm probably also at my desired mod limit for the Prius. I got everything done I really wanted to do...only thing that may get added later are those little roof diffuser things...they look pretty neat...but may be a while

    I agree on the tail lights. I would have to see them first, but doing that may be overkill.

    I don't know what's attracting me to this $16k Scion iA, but the more I look at the tech features it has I'm like....weekend beater? Lol

    They aren't hateful. I have seen them in person and they feel small. Definitely quirky looking tho...which can be good or bad depending on who you ask. Probably can get a great deal with scion dissolving.

    Do you know offset?
    Did you need spacers?
    Weight of wheel/tire?

    Did you have to recalibrate your speedometer when going from the stock 15" wheels to 17s?

    Thanks for the info!

    Do you think 17x8 +45 offset will clear?
    not sure how close you are on the inside near the strut/shock area

    Cool! I think you have the first wrapped Prrime. Also the first Prime I have seen in a Gen 4 Liftback thread.
    Welcome.
