Have you considered hitting the wheels with some matte black so they don't show up quite as much?

Lowering you car doesn't void your warranty. You'll be aight.

Take off the scion logo and you got a bB under there.

Looks great with the car. I painted mine white (PW xB) and it is a lot cheaper than wheels. Because of course when you get wheels, you do not want stock tires on them, so you must get the tires also. I figure about 6-8 hundred. I can do a lot of other mods for that price. The matte black is a good suggestion. Have a camo around town, and then put a rather large white star on the front door. Really sets is apart. Nice ride, and enjoy it.

JEEMS;looks great , i don't have funds for wheels either (at least the finance minister(WIFE) says i don't) so i went with full moon caps, salt flat discs whatever you want to call 'em they look really good on my TCM . did you just spray can them or what just wondering about durability.

well i was going to just spray paint them. my friend yanked them off and told me he would do it for me while i was at work. when i went to pick them up i was amazed. he used actual car paint and a clear coat. i think it was called grey micah or something like that. he said he used almost a whole can on them. i'm satisfied. these pictures really don't do them justice at all. they really shine.

is that dupont duplicolor wheel paint? i love that stuff...looks great, something i was considering doing on my blue onyx xB but hadn't gotten around to it yet (been running my extra set of black steelies w/ snow tires all winter anyway).

good job :thumbup:

These are Chrome full baby moons. These are winter wheels of course... I have some 18s for summer... I ran the stock steelies until we got these... I just couldn't bear to put the stock hubs back on! :nope:

If you're thinking about these... or have purchased them... make SURE that you check to make sure they seat down against the rim properly. There's a problem with the offset on FWD vehicle and these type of caps. Ours were about 1/4" off. Had to buy another set of stock rims and have the offset modified to fit the hubcaps securely. And you don't want to take a chance on losing a Chrome hubcap!!

I like the baby moons, & trim rings. What wheels did you use to run them? My wheels are like the wheels in the first picture with holes around center yours look solid.

We have the stock steelies under the baby moons, but we had to have the offset modified, as the standard offset prevented the hubcaps from seating down properly.

Very nice, esp w/ the camo color. I have a silver xB and am trying to decide what route I'll take w/out spending the monies on wheels. I think I'm gonna do stock wheel w/ a chrom trim only. But if my car were darker, I think I'd follow your route. Very nice for the cost!
