worked great and got the wheels back to pristine condition .

As u/scrapedknuckles suggested, you don't want to remove your weights.

I've had my local tire shop rebalance my wheels to replace sloppily-placed wheel weights. Black wheel weights are a thing and it might be worth asking your mechanic whether they could replace your existing weights with those. If the shop don't stock 'em, you could try making a deal where you order the weights yourself and have the mechanic fit them.

Thank you!! I purchased these, I assume they’d fit correctly:

Gorilla Automotive 71631NBC Acorn Black Chrome Wheel Locks (12mm x 1.50 Thread Size) Pack of 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002809QXW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_B4VKJA3NF6CE2JHGZKV9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I recently got a set and Work does not have any Center Caps that fit the CR Kai’s, they only fit the CR Ultimate Kiwami’s. I found these 76mm/3in ones on amazon that should work and I’m planning to paint them.

Apparently you can use OEM S2000 Center Caps but they’re $350+ CAD brand new which is too much for me.

This stuff works great. I’ve been using it once a week with a pump foam sprayer for almost 8 months and I still have half a bottle left. I’m sure there’s cheaper stuff that’ll work just as well, but this is ph neutral and my wheels are ceramic coated so if you’re worried about your finish this is safe.

Not sure what bolt pattern you need but here are a couple. Black Bronze

Yeah, I was just unsure if simply getting a 19mm head with same thread pitch would be a proper solution, or if I'd be compromising something. These are $2 a pop and would fit: https://smile.amazon.com/Dorman-Autograde-611-183-1-Chrome-M12-1-50/dp/B0049E9OW8/

This stuff is really good, i usually mix 3:1.

> A fit kit is what mounts the TPMS to the wheel.

Oh! Ok. The OEM tpms are on the oem wheels - used for winter (the way I got this car). I'm looking to buy new tpms - not sure if I should guy oem or something else. Usually dealers inflate prices unrealistically - sometimes it's worth it: not sure with this one.

>width and seating pitch

Yes, the width might be a concern. The conical seating is 60 for both so no issue there. I'll call the store to see what they have to say.

A fit kit is what mounts the TPMS to the wheel. It includes a rubber seal and a crush washer as well as a new valve core.

I am %100 sure about the tuner lugs being needed. The wheel design and the lug seating surface won’t with the lugs you had listed due to width and seating pitch.

>fit kits

Is this a specific style? What does it mean?

> You need tuner lugs .

Is it because of the style of the wheel? Are you 100% sure? I was about to call to inquire about the maximum diameter in mm allowed in there.

Buy either chrome plated or stainless tuner lugs and don’t use a impact wrench on them when servicing the wheels. Chipping in the coating is what leads to the lugs rusting. You being in Canada should already be having anti seize applied to the studs, this will help the studs from rusting causing the inside of the lugs to rust.

The Prius OEM TPMS sensors will fit, just make sure to order 4 new fit kits to make sure you don’t get any leaks.

Lastly, get the plastic hub rings, the aluminum ones will oxidize quickly and get seized to the hub.

Just clicked on your lug nut link, those won’t work. You need tuner lugs .

having one of these $10 tools is nice if you mess with wheels a lot. https://www.amazon.com/Towever-Wheel-Gauge-Measuring-Ruler/dp/B01G3EKQ8C/ref=asc_df_B01G3EKQ8C/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241914879076&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15445363219653077952&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028728&hvtargid=pla-456999921774&psc=1&language=en_US

I was recommended these on another forum: https://www.amazon.com/5x110-5x114-3-5x4-5-Adapters-Spacers/dp/B00HQPGOAM

So with these, and the wheels themselves I should be good to go, or am I missing anything?

okay thanks so much for all the info. hard to find all this stuff when you don't have much hands on experience with it lol

so assuming the enkeis use a tapered seat if I went with this set of 12x1.5 lug nuts, the motorsport tech adapters, and then the enkei wheels themselves I should be good to go?
