    Yeah, for those very few drivers who really want/need performance, they should spend their money on anyway to mod the stock car. But why make the larger stock wheels on higher trim of Prius and Pathfinder?

    I got the 2010 Canadian touring with 17", mainly cus I couldn't stand the 15" with wheel covers. :cautious:

    The steering feel was night-and-day better too: not just the wheels, the mechanics were different. Not sure if that's still the case, with later years.

    Looks sell.
    In some cases, the car design included the larger, or at least alloy, wheels. The entry level 2WD Tacoma with smaller wheels looks like the truck's proportions are wrong.

    I like the look of smaller rims and deeper sidewalls, looks purposeful. And you know you'll have an easier time on rough roads.

    How long do the batteries in the TPM sensors in the wheels last?

    7 years average, but it could go anytime between 5-10 years.

    To clarify, do you mean the OE wheels or the $30 aftermarket TPMS sensors ?
