    HEY JORDANR !!!

    :):):):)

    Honestly I really don't know.

    I was concerned for the weight as well to maintain fuel and electrical efficiency for the Prius.

    I do remember however that with the aftermarket tires on they seemed pretty comparable to the weight of the stock OEM setup.

    I will find out for ya soon !!!

    Absolutely stunning. I love the rims and tires. Make SURE to let us know the MPG change / impact from the change. I'm willing to change rims and tires too - but I don't want too much of a MPG hit. Can't wait till you lower the car!

    Nice touch to the small details being added. The calipers really make those wheels stand out more. Can't wait to see the drop stance.

    Let us know how that goes! And the ride quality as well!

    Keep up the great work!

    HEY FOLKS !!!

    :):):)

    Mahalo for the kind words on my Prius Build ...

    It's coming along really well !!!

    As far as the 5 Axis Wheels/Falken Tires are concerned, I sat down with the folks from Zoom Tires and we wanted to maintain as close to the Wheel/Tire height as stock. Reason being, speedometer readings will be slightly altered and mpgs ... A big concern for most Prius drivers.

    So we found a combination that worked well that helped to maintain the Speedometer readings and MPGS as close to stock as possible.

    Quite honestly, having driven the Prius since the installation and the way that I drive I didn't notice much of a difference in both.

    I chose 18" wheels as I feel with the 1.4"/1.5" Tein Lowering springs to be installed soon, this fitment seemed to complete the look for the whole 5 Axis Prius package (The Kit, Wheels, and Springs).

    My Prius is my daily driver so I wanted a tire/wheel that didn't sacrifice driving comfort and mpgs.

    Hope I answered your questions as best as I can !!!

    Stayed TUNED for the TEIN LOWERING SPRINGS installation coming SOON !!!

    Happy PRIUS Modding !!!
