....or at least cut up my credit card.

Ugh! I'm having a very difficult time not spending my money.......and lots of it. Just dumped almost another $1000 on wheels and tires. I mean.....its about time I got new wheels and tires.......I've been wanting to since the second I knew I was getting an xB..................but.........when you have no income.............you get the idea. I'm nearing the $2000 mark on stuff I've bought for my car. I know plenty of you out there have spent a lot more than me..........but.........I'm a poor, jobless, almost dental student.

Anyway.....they're Konig Glide 17's. I'll have pics once they get here and get mounted.

i believe so i think all the vegas guys are running goldlines

02-04-2004, 05:24 AM
All of the vegas guys except me.

Im on TRD, but then again, i was the first to lower mine in vegas..and I may have been the first to HAVE one in vegas.

KingLou
02-04-2004, 05:36 AM
Yes........Goldlines they are. I really didn't know much about other springs out there. I'd only ridden with the TRDs in Arin's car.......and they were nice. But I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the Goldlines, and I love the way they ride and the look they give.

I really like those rims... did you go for flat black on black ? Lets see pics, you've had enough time... j/k

KingLou
02-04-2004, 08:08 AM
Yep.......flat black.

They're supposed to be here tomorrow.......well, technically today, since it's 1:00 in the morning right now. If they arrive as scheduled, I'll get them slapped on and have pictures up probably by sometime in the afternoon or early evening.

what series tires did you get?? i hope 35s...i dont think 40s will fit with your drop.

KingLou
02-04-2004, 08:45 AM
They will fit just fine. They're 40s..........but Mark has 17" wheels with 45 series tires.........he's got the Goldlines on with no problem. I even drove his car to test them out for him.

Arin, trust me, Adam really test drove Mark's Xb and with his17x7 lexani's and 215/45/ no rub, and he had my fat ___ sitting shotgun. I told to take it lock to lock. O'yeah, I heated my stock springs before SEMA. Anyway I don't think they will rub, Adam can't wait to see em.

KingLou
02-04-2004, 10:27 PM
Ok......wheels installed. No rubbing. The wheels and tires together are the same size as my stock wheels and tires.

looking good man. wait till you see my shoes! but of course my lugs have yet to arrive....ugh

oh and arin there was at least two xb's before us in town. mark are you out there? when did you buy? mark could make three before us.

oh and one of the two i know of was lowered before you as well. on trds as well. so sorry no crown for you. well there is "only mustachioed scion owner" in the valley. and someday soon youll be the first "dr. scion" in town. those are some pretty cool titles.

your brother gets the "first shot out window in a scion in vegas" thats a hard one to beat.

theres no way to be sure but i'll bet i have the "fastest scion in vegas" since nobody else has an intake. :wink: and nobody else has a functional 5speed either!

okay ill stop

Awesome rims! I was actually considering getting those for my xB (if/when I get it :roll: ) but you know...after seeing actually on a Polar White xB...I don't think I want'em. No offense! I mean I think they look sweet on your xB just...not for me, now that I've seen'em. Anywho, again nice setup! 8)
