1) The wheels look fantastic, and the tires are like glue to the road.

2) These are hands down the easiest wheels to clean in the world, inside and out :)

3) If your significant other curb rashes them, you can fix the scratch with a $2 bottle of Testers model paint!

:P

1) There are better tires than what comes on them

2) Hubcaps are easier. Remove, place in sink/tub, add dawn + water

3)If you curb them and cover with paint, they're still curbed


:P

I don't even know which ones you're talking about, but if it's the 5-spoke black TRDs (thick spokes), then I will agree that they are nice.

1) Well.. what if the tires they used on someone elses xD weren't the best like what you have? :P

2) Yes they are easy compared to 10 spokes lol.

3) Curbed is curbed :P

Also.. you can get much better looking wheels for $2k :?

Agreed.. if they weren't 2k then it'd be worth looking at..

I like those wheels on the xD, but only if its lowered of course (unlike this one hehehe)

I know you can barely see, but you get the idea

2K from where? Ours are $848 for a set of four. They are nice and I would agree that they are very easy to clean. If we didn't put the 19" ones on our xB I would have tried these but the new xB has a pretty large wheel well.

thats what i thought they look good but are not worth 2000 and i think a 10-spoke wheel would look better on the xd and it would be cheaper

I think he means when you add them as an option (w/ tires) when buying new, they're $1999. Checked and that's the same for the tC.

Oh duh, I wasn't even thinking about the price it would be when getting it the same time as you get the car. They really add a lot to the price when you finance it all in together.

Ya, that's like another $30-$40/mo on top of the price. Pretty crazy for some wheels.
