help me decide on wheels

2001 "Classic" Prius

I'm getting new tires today (or tomorrow)

and I'm trying to decide which wheels to mount my new "all season" tires to
and which set to put my "Snow" tires on

the VW wheels look like they should be more "Aerodynamic"
but they are a hair heavier, and half an inch wider

I will be putting more miles on the "all season" tires (7-8 months) than the Winter tires (4-5 months)
but not by much




NOTE: ALL WHEELS AND TIRES ARE ALREADY PAID FOR


Stock Prius Wheels
Cast 14x5.5
weight 13 lbs / KG 5.8967012

2001-2003 Toyota Prius 14" 69453 - All Factory Wheels

Le_Castellet.jpg
VW "le casselettes" Wheels
FORGED 14x6
15.4lbs

mine don't have "VW" center caps, they are smooth caps
