    I just got my O.Z Alleggerita HLT wheels today, omg so cool, wrapped with continental DSW tires. Let me know what you think, the next modifications will be fog lights with HID's and maybe some more led strips, thanks for looking.

    I'm also saving up for some lowering springs so... That should really give my prius a sleek sexy look.

    the wheels are 16.8lbs and the tires are around 21lbs, as for mileage, I did noticed from putting them on that my mileage seems to go down a little bit but the advancement in handling makes up for it. On the highway the car seems to hold the road better, then the stock wheels. Also the tires are brand new so of course my mileage will be a little bad at first but I'm heading to alabama this weekend to help my mom out and I'll let ya'll know how the wheels handle and how the gas mileage will be.

    Those look perfect. They fit real nice.

    I am interested in the cost of the rims and tires... How much did it run and do you have a link to them...????

    Thanks.

    I got the wheels from tire rack. If you put Prius in the build section it only comes up with 17" wheels so I put a 2008 scion Tc and looked up 18" wheels in weight category 16-18lbs so if you do that they should come up. As for price, no comment lol lets just say their not cheap but still less then $3000 so not too bad. Plus they have all types of colors, I almost went with some silver rims but once I saw these I was sold.

    Spray those disks with silver or black caliper paint.
    Looks better than rust.

    Nice choice.

    I'd like some custom caliper covers, but have no clue who makes them with custom writing on them.

    They look good. You didn't give the size of the tires or I couldn't find it. Are they bigger in diameter or width than the stock ones and if so how much bigger/smaller?

    Thanks,
    Leo
