    I have never heard of OEM 16" wheels on a Prius they come with 15's.
    We have all seen the 17" optional wheels w/tires labled 17" EFPC Wheel, which is a alloy wheel and pirelli tire combo that is installed at the dealer.

    I googled it and just got several returns regarding Prius car options...

    Ahhh, found it ! Toyota is exclusively using Enkei 16" & 17" wheels,
    Toyota has been offering the 16" optional wheels on the Matrix....

    I guess you would need to check the Enkei web site for wieght..

    I hope this helps, Good Luck! :)

    I believe the European and Asian version of Prius comes with 16" OEM wheels.

    The OP's location indicates he is in Norway, and I recall hearing the Prius is fitted with more performance-oriented tires/rims over there, but I could be mistaken.

    Unfortunately though, I do not have the answer to his question... :mellow:

    Ehh,.. anywhere but NA gets 16" alloys mounted on 195/60R16 tyres (I believe they're Michelin Pilots). The also have a plastic cover like ours but while ours is a ring, theirs is an entire cover.


    andreaswin, why don't you search for the weight of those Michelin tyres then subtract that from the total weight?
