    Hello! Love the pic. Can you give me the specs on the rims you have? We want something stylish but lighter weight than what we have now..

    Thanks!

    They are Scion TC 17" rims with Exclaim UHP tires....Weight difference over the stock rims/tire combo was 3lbs. Depending on the type of driving you can expect to lose 2-4mpg.

    I went this route because the TC rims were pretty free after I sold the stock tires off of it. The UHP were covered by selling my stock touring rims/tires.

    Hi MTM,

    Your car looks great.

    I might be given some TC rims by my brother. Have you experienced any rubbing against the wheel wells when making full lock steering turns?

    Does anyone have some imput?

    it just looks right, like these wheels belong on the prius. im tempted to take the set off of my 05 tc but i cant. guess ill have to go find a set cause your car looks great but i have a few questions,

    1) is the speedo correct or is this basically a +size upgrade?

    2) how has the car driven since you change to 17s?

    if it is just a +size upgrade then both questions are answered.:D

    I have been eying these wheels for a couple months now for the better looks and significant handling improvement. I am willing to take a 4mpg hit- at today's gas prices that comes up to less than $50/ year more fuel. I only have 16.5K on my craptegrities so I may have to wait another year before the upgrade (Wife's order! :mad:).
