    I think they look great myself. I used a set of 10mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the rear, I installed hub centric adapter rings as well though I don't know how necessary that was. So far my mileage has not changed, in fact it was better today than it has been but I'm sure that coincidence.

    I think adding wheels to the third Gen Prius transforms the look of the vehicle. Nice job man

    You should expect to lose about 5 mpg.

    You don't notice any lag or heaviness when accelerating from a full stop?

    Some have described the feeling like dragging an anchor around.

    But I agree, they look great!

    No, it felt normal to me. I drove about 40 miles today and the computer reported 39mpg which is what I have been getting, I have a bad battery and a heavy foot. Hopefully the MSC Aries docks soon and I can get the first of those issues resolved.

    How's the ride quality and weight of the new wheels? Alot more than oem aluminum?

    I'm thinking of changing from oem wheels but I am NOT willing to give up the amazing ride quality
