been lurking for a while..we have a 2007 Prius..I just put the scion tc wheels on it..we bought them ..then I looked around here..and see that mileage goes down with these wheels since they are heavier..so I weighed stock vs. new and it was a 6lb per wheel/tire combo more over stock the TC wheels weigh 42lbs..they ride very smooth and my average hasn't dropped yet so time will tell..hopefully it wont be too bad..the overall diameter is not very much larger then the overall diameter of the stockers. I did the conversion chart on a website and the speedometer should only be off slightly, if I am going 65.0 mph I will actually be going 65.55. enough talking..here are some pics (let me know what you think)
Nice looking tC wheels. They look right on Prius. I saw a lot of those tC wheels on eBay. I might replace my stock wheels with them sometime later. Currently I am running stock wheels with sized up tires.
Welcome...please post more info on your mileage once it becomes available...i think i'm gonna go ahead and get the wheels if its only a small decrease in MPG
I like the color and the wheels. Great looking car. (and very nice looking Bel Air in the garage!) ZC1
Love the wheels! Definitely fits the Prius. Sounds like you are carrying 24 lbs. extra with those new wheels...I also do not expect to see a lot of mpg drop. Try to leave the golf clubs behind and you should be all set. Regards.
ZC1 thanks..thats my pops..baby..here is a better pic thanks everyone..I am very happy with the wheels..they ride great..and make the car look so much better..
Your new wheels look great. Post some more pics, in different angles. How miles have you registered the new wheels and tires? BTW, do you still have the old rims. I can use some, since my passenger side ones are kind of crumpled up due to my wife's driving. Lyluvly
If you get your new wheels, please let me know if you wish to dispose your old wheels. I have 2 smashed up ones on passenger side, while my wife was learning to back up and park parallel. Thanks
