It looks like he wasn't going to sell them for a while and then changed his mind. At $800 it's tempting, if he wasn't stipulating local pick-up.

However these are currently sold and if going to make a major dollar purchase preference to be one of these local or establish or new if possible

I haven't looked but I imagine those wheels or similar would be available new.

9lbs is lighter than even the G1 wheels. Definitely tempting.

Both Prius C and Yaris have 15 inch 4-100 lug/bolt pattern and have same /similar 1.5L engine of the 2004-09 Toyota Prius Gen2

You could also go 12mm in either direction and be just fine. Everybody on here runs sunk in pizza cutters anyways.

True. But the weight is also placed further away from the center of the wheel.

Do you have a weight for the Insight spare wheels? I have a set ready to go but I've been lazy. Definitely going to weigh them after I remove the tire.

I've heard reports of anywhere between 7 and 9 pounds per wheel. A set of 3 in a box plus wrapping and popcorn insulation thingies weighed in at 49lbs. Ecky said the weight of a spare tire and wheel is 14.5lbs. 115/70R14 tires are somewhere between 7 and 9 lbs each, so my guess would be between 7.5 and 8lbs. Do let us know the weight if you get a chance to weigh the bare rim.

Keep in mind too that the Insight spares are slightly less aerodynamic than the stock wheels due to no center cover and slightly more open area around the outside of the wheel. It's a very small penalty, but the benefit from the lighter wheels will be very small as well, and some tiny aero handicap may very well negate any benefit. That's the main reason why I haven't installed my set of 4 space savers yet; I may install them down the road when I need new tires, or I may just keep them to use if I ever need winter tires.

Although this would not have direct fitment on my 08 Toyota Prius Gen2 ….this is what I original looking for in weight

Would be a PIA to get Prius C suspension parts/components to adapt to 4-100 pattern

The Prius has a 5x100 pattern? This is good to know. They should fit my Subaru then. I really need skinnier tires on it.

I've seen people running Subaru wheels on their Prius over on the PriusChat forums, so I would imagine doing the opposite would work.

The Subaru wheels IIRC were ones from a 2012 Legacy, and they looked pretty good on the black 2nd gen Prius that was in the picture....if only they weren't so heavy.
