Nexo wheels for Prius

I like the rims. As long as the bolt pattern is 5x100 you are fine. Those come in that bolt pattern so no worries. Wheel offset is 40mm which concerns me as far as rubbing the fender well when turning since there is not a lot of gap between the tire and fenderwell. But 2mm may not do anything at all. Just make sure you get 185/65R15 tires so fuel economy won't suffer.

 

Using an actual spacer block (or having one made if you can't find one) would be a much safer choice, but you're on the right track!

 

They're quite easy to find. You'd likely find them at a Kragen or perhaps a custom shop that stocks parts for older automobiles and/or race parts ("Vic Hubbard" Auto Supply comes to mind); I've seen them on countless 1960s Mustangs (a hobby), for example. Also, I need advice on this upgrade idea:

What do you think of the look? Is this an improvement over the stock wheels?

Note: the beauty rims have since been removed.


The same Prius, same photo, with GT-S wheels added digitally. Suggestions? Comments?​

Thanks for any and all advice!

Yeah I'm a little worried about the curvy-inward look. I just took the beauty rims off my car and that's created a better-enough look to forgo buying new wheels for the time being.

I'll photoshop in the nexo wheels you're talking about and we'll see how they look.

I like Option #2. I saw a black Prius with chrome wheels the other day and it just looked...wrong.

 

That is a good looking wheel; the price seems good too. Did it provide a wheel weight? Just wondering how they compare to the Ray's Gram Lite wheel in 17".
