    I don't have any info, but if you're thinking about buying some, you should ask that user billydon. He said he was thinking about selling them once he bought those TSW's. In any case, I like mine. I was thinking about changing them too, but seeing as how I get good mpg's from my house to work (22 mile trip from suburbs to downtown austin) I'm more than likely keeping them. I average between 64-68mpg each morning. On the way back is a different story, I only average between 55-60. But even at those numbers, I'm pretty satisfied.

    That is pretty good! I'll likely check with a dealership and see if they can be ordered. I don't feel like paying big money for them but if they were cheap enough...... They look great on the car so I'd keep them. :)

    It beats not having any at all....or stock. They certainly don't feel cheap.

    So I called my parts guy at the dealer and gave them my vin number to look up the part. They come from that Gulf States Toyota. It costs $166/wheel and the part number is: 00012P125602 (metallic gray)17" Alloy wheels. They said they dont have much more info on them other than that. I also checked my wheels and couldnt find any markings other than JIL VIA. I didnt remove the wheel, just looked around the front/back.

    Aye and I actually sorta like these better. The Plus wheels are just too dark for my taste. I was considering just getting another set of Centerlines because they are super cheap and lightweight but these TSS wheels are cool. Not many on the West coast will have them. Shipping is a pain but if someone is looking to get rid of theirs cheap then I may forego my high mpg tanks for them. Then I would have to get TRD springs from The Critic's car. lol

    With some grip-less Energy Saver A/S tires that F8L sold me on...

    But seriously, I cannot imagine any rims at that price point to be extremely high quality.

    He's crabby because he slides oFf the road with his 195/65/15 Energy Saver A/S tires. He needs a set of 205/50/17s! :)

    LOL we posted at the same time.

    I actually looked into getting some of those as soon as I bought my car. I saw a couple other TSS cars around here and obviously they still had those rims on, but I have yet to see any with Prius Plus wheels around.
    I dont know if theyre high or bad quality, but they feel pretty solid to me, plus they were included in the price when I bought the car. They actually look better up close compared to in the pictures. In any case, I'll keep them on until I find some nice black or gunmetal rims. I like the 5 axis wheels too but it seems they stopped making the ones I liked in 17's.
