The body kit is nice, but I'm not sure about the wheels.

I don't like the wheels either, but if you look around, they have 2 other sets of wheels that look nice

Agreed. Don't like 'em. Those are the ones that the Prius sported during its introduction at the auto show. I thought, "Hm... hope those aren't the real ones..."
