I just picked up my package IV with Solar Panel, Blizzard Pearl White, with Dark Grey leather today. So far so good, it was a great drive home! Does anyone know where I can pick up a set of the OEM 17" wheels that come with the package V? I'm fine with the decrease in fuel efficiency, I think they look way nicer. Thanks!
The 17's are hot. I just posted a request for Toyota to option 16's and 205 tires into the III and IV models. I think that would be a welcome addition.
Why not just buy a set of aftermarket 17s then? The stock ones don't look near as nice as many of the aftermarket pieces and they are likely to be less expensive at this point in time.
I'm sure a dealer can get them for you, but they're not going to be cheap. Be aware that you will likely have rubbing issues, since the Prius V w/ 17" wheels has a shorter front wheel travel than the other models to account for the larger (wider) wheels/tires. Do a search for more info, it been discussed quite a bit.
I'd go this route too. I am sure you can find some that look just like the V has, or something you like even more, for less $. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resu...odel=Prius+Touring&autoYear=2009&autoModClar=
If I were going 17"s, I'd pick something much lighter, but hopefully just as aerodynamic. Either way, the package should be less than a dealer cost on OEM wheels.
I would wait for Tire Rack to get the measurements for the redesigned Prius. You should then be free of concerns regarding fitment on the III and IV, plus you will have a wide choice of quality wheels and styles.
