    Thinking of maybe buying some rims from someone selling 16" touring rims for my 2005 prius with the standard 15" rims.

    I think 17" might be too much of a hassle with loss of gas mileage, and these might be a good inbetween. However I am worried that they look a little strange.Anyone running these rims and like them?


    How much should I pay for a set of four without tires?

    When the touring 16s are on a gen2 they look great (with and without the wheel covers). My only issue was the increased cost for the 16" replacement tires. Some of the retailers try to fetch a premium as so few vehicles shipped with that tire size, so I traded down for 15s.

    I like the touring wheels a lot; plus 205 and 215 16" tires are pretty common. do the math and decide which tire size you'd prefer. but the hubcaps suck, trash or ebay that junk.
