So, trying to get an idea on wheels for the daily. Something way less bland.
I have attached a picture of the prius, and three wheels im considering. Im also considering just painting the stock wheels bronze or gunmetal.
Anyone able to make my ideas into pixels for an internet cookie?
all would be 15 inch options, so diameter wouldn't change on the wheels. Just the wheel style.

Can't help with the PS work right now, but I vote for the Heliums.
If my schedule opens up a little I may be able to help in a bit.
Anyway you can get straight profile pics of the wheels and car? That makes it stupid easy. Otherwise I end up making it look wonky, like a bad porno head swap.

I'd just use this and find wheels that look similar:

Can't help but I vote first ones with a bit of a drop. What are the stock size, 15s?
In reply to iansane :
1 inch drop all the way around is the plan. Stock wheel size are 15 in. That's kind of why I'm staying with that size wheel cuz it has brand new tires on it.
In reply to slefain :
I apparently cannot work that website from my phone. Will try to take a look at that when I get home
In reply to Appleseed :
Poorly swap porno head is okay. I unfortunately can't really seem to find better pictures of the wheels but I can take a better picture of the car
If you're staying 15s then I change my answer to the rotas. Those swirly bits would only look good with a 17, imo.
What about obnoxious colors like florescent orange of green?
I can't help but I love the fact that you're doing this to a Prius. Personally I don't hate the shape of them, and I think you have the eye to make one good. Keep it up.
I also installed a lowering kit and some rear wheel spacers. Looks like you might have picked up a bit of front camber.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
It gets my vote

Thank you!
This nails what I want.
Time to monitor prices like a hawk
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
Got an Email that Tire Rack is having a wheel sale.
Rota are my choice too.
Now with that decided, heres another suggestion. At the window sill there a about a 2" body line going from a-pillar to c/d-pillar. I think that would look good filled in with some subtle TRD colors/stripe.
Like this:
But, more like this. Just the window sill to keep it subtle:
There is a sub-company of Rays called eco drive gear that makes wheels specific for hybrids. Crazy light in weird narrow sizes. Some cool designs as well.
