I was looking at some Enkei SR6, but these look nice too!
What are they?

Here is the link to the wheels. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=7&vid=029890
I have had 4 people in this car and it is perfect. No bottoming out anymore and no rubbing or weirdness at all. I will say that since the new wheels and tires that the gas mileage is down about 5 MPG all around. I personally do not care about the drop, but people should know just in case they want a certain look but retain the same gas mileage. I have been driving a bit more aggressively so that is a part of it, but even when I try to get good mileage it is about 5 MPG less than before.

The Enasaves are rock hard and totally made for gas mileage. They are great at doing that. And I think that they are pretty decent tires actually. I have about 14,000 miles on them and they are just barely worn. I do have a bubble in one of them because of a damn chuck hole that I hit a week before I put the new wheels on but other than that they have held up really well. If I can find an exact replacement for the one with the bubble I will use them next winter. If not I will get all new snow tires. The Enasaves were totally fine for me this past winter. I can not complain about them.

The rolling resistance of the tire comes from contact patch abrasion and from side wall deflection, and to the lesser degree from rubber compound. So the low profile tire would do worse as it would have more sidewall bending.
BTW new Prius comes with Enasaves and it managed 0.84 on skid pad, so they should be not that bad at all. Not sure why they don't work well on Mirage, perhaps excessive body roll puts them at odd angle? tire squirm due to narrow rims?
