    Hey guys, I've narrowed my rims decision to three sets of Volk Racing rims:
    a: 15" SR-08's
    b: 16" TE37's
    c: 17" TE37's

    The SR-o8's would definitely be lighter than stocks and be a bit cheaper, 16" TE37 hopefully be same weight as stocks and 17"s probably be heavier. Would 17" be too big? Thanks for any feedback

    I have 16X6.5 on my car and I am thinking of getting 17X7.5 or 8. I like how the 17" look on the car. Someone on Instagram posted a prius C with a 17" wheel and it looks good. I might be selling my set of wheels to get the Motegi Track Lites and having it powder coated to the color I have now.

    15s offer the best fuel economy.

    17s offer the best handling and looks but the worst fuel economy.

    16s are a happy medium between performance, looks and fuel economy.

    I'd look up what LRR tires are available in a 16" and 17" size. Unless you don't care about losing 4-8mpg.
