    Hey all, been doing a little bit of research on rims for my 2015 Prius C One and decided that I really like these:

    They are the Inovit Force 4s. I live in LA and the only dealer that has this in town is 'Discount Wheels & Tires' (40 miles away) and they are selling them for $340 + balance/Installation, new lugs, etc. and total came out to $515.

    Does the grand total seem kind of steep to anyone else? Opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I think $515 is good for new wheels. Steep would be $3000

    See if you can find them cheaper online and then show them. They are pretty good about price matching even online stuff. They may want to know how much shipping is so its an apples to apples comparison but I have saved a few bucks this way.

    Totally, I asked if they price matched and they had no problem with me bringing in a print out from an online store, or even offered to look it up for me just by giving them the link over the phone.

    The question I had which I should have clarified in the first post was for the swapping out the tires and balancing and installing onto my car costing the extra $175.

    I believe the tire shop by my house charges $40 for that service.....but most will charge $60-$80. $175 must have a lot of added fees.

    Okay, so I will just buy the wheels itself + lugs and I'll go elsewhere. Can you give me the info of the shop by your place? I live in LA as well.

    AMAZING. Thanks so much. Just got off the phone with them and they are super cheap! $40 bucks like you said + $20 to have the tires removed from the stock rims, which is awesome. Thanks again!

    They are the main suppliers to all the auto shops in the area. You'll be shocked at the size of this operation
