Pick up some new wheels was so excited thought I share with you guys. These are temp wheels so I have wider ones for track day at 86fest (Cali.) This'll do for awhile til I get my rb build on and figure out widebody spec rims hehe.
Never would've thought I went with white but it's a fun car so why not!

Need to get another valve stem cap to match with my work lug nuts but gonna have to do with what Enkei's provided for now.

These are Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 38 offset wrapped around Hankook V12 255 35 18 if you guys wondering about the spec. Cheers

Rbv1. To each his own lol? The new 9.5 wheels is for a track set up (originally stated) and a touge inspired build hence the extra grip on wide tires. And yes I do take my car to the mountain roads whenever I can. There is no mod that I have coming that will require wide body. I just like wide body in general especially for the frs. Once I have wb I'll need wider wheels and low offset for perfect fitment and negate the use of spacers.

Correct about wheel fitment, at least you sound like you're doing that correct. Just seemed like with your current setup you didn't need wider wheels / tires and they already fit in the fenders. If its a look / hard parking thing, like you said to each their own. Probably going to be one of the only widebody RS 2.0. Post pics of the project if it ever happens!

With current set up on OEM Prius tires it's horrible. I tried it on the mountain road and never felt more dangerous. I guessed you could say that if I get better tire compound for the stock 17s it would've been enough for track days and maybe performance grip driving. But I forgot to mention that someone did offer to buy my Rs2 Trd wheel set and it was a price that I was happy with, so I let that go immediately and went with this new set up. It'd be awesome if I'm the only Rs2 widebody lol but definitely will be posting more pic of any future mods like I'm doing now. Cheers 🤗

Yes! I saw a couple at a dealer that had the color on the msrp listed as Desert Khaki, as well. Some confusion on this series, for sure.

The paint line on the underside of the hood is not quite impressive, lol!
