    I'm considering either the putting the 16" Touring Wheels or the 2010 17" Wheels on my Prius.

    Are there any pics out there with the 17" factory wheels on a Gen-2 Prius? I want to see how they look like but can't seem to find any pics through the search future....

    Thanks!

    What color's your car? Sorry I don't know of anyone who's done 17" Prius wheels on a Gen II...

    Personally I would look to the aftermarket variety. Even a set of OEM 17" might run you $800+.

    Thanks for the link. However, does look like the Standard 15", not the 17". It would have been a great price for $500 though!!!! :-D

    Azipod, if you can find me someone who's selling a set of Wedssport TC005s (theyre discontinued) I'll GLADLY sell you my touring wheels.

    Thanks for the offer! :)

    I'm not sure how I'm going to find those wheels if you can't find them. :cool:

    Maybe you should buy some other wheels? :D

    Let me know if you do.

    Thanks! :mod:

    Since smaller lighter 15" wheels should get better MPG than 17", perhaps someone would want to trade you for that benefit? :)

    Has anyone on here done this mod and put the stock 17" V wheels from the 3rd gen? My dad has a red V and im jealous of his wheels. I also hear they improve handling/ road feel. We own all three generations of the Prius (2001, 2004, 2011). The '04 seems to drive/ handle the worst out of all of them, especially in snow. Even when dry this car feels very twitchy/ uncomposed at highway speeds.

    handling should improve due to less sidewall deformation while cornering; ok if you are seeking a bonus...

    ....but if handling was one of your concerns you should look at roll control (sway bars) shock absorber choices and ultimately suspension rigidity.
