Just because a rim has a low low offset doesn't automatically make it look good...this is a fine example!

Better than a poke in the lip with a sharp stick...

the only drool thats happening in this thread, would be the puddle building up on my bedroom floor. My best friend is a rim dealer and he went into total shock and seizure when he saw the picture of these. The uggliest rims ever posted on this site

Rims which look like modified hubcaps = bad idea.

yup, old VW rims. You people (except Brad) have no taste. :p I found these while looking for some deep dish steel rally type wheels. You go for your chrome though, go on with ya. I'd put these on a scion with some raised white letter tires too, I think they'd look ok. I'd also be cool enough to admit defeat, but I'd have the balls (if I had the $$)

I think Minsk99 has these wheels plus a bB in Japan! I love this look! The great thing about the xB is that it can adapt to so many styles: euro, old-school euro, VIP, hot rod, tuner, etc.....

I'd rock those wheels in a second, on a ae86, or even my 240sx. They do look "ok" on that particular xb but personally not my cup of tea on an xb.

They look like late '60s / early '70s Mopar Rally rims. They don't look bad at all.

To each, his own. That, my friends, is the beauty of the xB!

Looks like they belong on a mid 80's Trans am!

Lest we forget, just because it's "euro" or "old school" STILL doesn't make it look good.

Heheheheh...

My first thought was those rims would make the xB look even more like a milk delivery truck...

But they look good on the xB in the picture!

Somehow the two work together just fine, Minsk.

if i'm not mistaken, those are the ATS Cup rims made in Deutschland. I would love to have 'em on my camo.

I love deep dish wheels. If they were just simple 5 pointed stars I'd be all over 'em!

You got to have them shipped in from Germany. One thing to keep in mind with these wheels is that they do not fit over the stock brake caliper in the front. You will either have to run a fat spacer (which will make your wheels stick way out past the fender) or you will have to grind down the caliper. I used a combination of the two (small spacer and grinding down the caliper). Also, as is the case with many low offset rims, if you drop the car then you may very well have to roll or cut the rear fenders. I had to trim the inside of the rear fender around 10mm. If you do not do this you will shred the outside of your tire. Unfortunately I know from experience. :doh:

i figured they are screaming the european style.... i really like lips on rims but i usually like to see a little more open area but the pic of them on the scion actually surprised me i guess you cant always judge a book by the cover... haah you get what i mean...

Yea, a little more open space would be nice. I painted my calipers and no one can see LOL. Anyways, I get the thumbs up from mini-truckin guys and dudes in 70's vans all the time which is cool because I love that the xB has a lil of that in its soul. Shoot, I'd rock a Lund visor if they made one the ride.

I think the look good mounted, I couldn't find myself drooling over them though. If someone gave them to me I'd rock'em.

Those rims are badass old-school with an F-U attitude. I'd rock on those with my finger out the window at the world, any time. Where can I get a set for my xB? (Seriously.)

ooo i like, i wonder if they have any slightly different styles (not sure if i like the black center)... and how much do they weigh? imo it makes the box look suv-ish
