View Full Version : Calling all Polar White xB owners!!!!!!
EastTNScionxB 02-25-2005, 06:54 PM Hey Guys/Gals!
I need your help! I need to see pics of your xBs showing your selection of rims.....I would love to see how the different styles look on our PW boxes.
So far I have really liked the Enkei CDR9s, ADR GT Sport, ADR SOKUDO 8, and the ADR INTENSE. :nails:
I really want something that is clean looking, but adds some agression to the look of my box. I was wrestling with the common dilemma of 17s or 18s, but I solved that by really watching the quality of the roads in my area.....WAY too much construction and potholes for 18s.....I would be replacing tires ALL day long! All that being said, I am having a VERY hard time making up my mind on what style to choose. I would appreciate any help you can offer! :pray:

there is some pics of my 17's koing threoy rims.
tcperconti 02-25-2005, 07:04 PM I went with the factory alloy wheels. But it looks like you're going in a very different direction.
BigBaby 02-25-2005, 07:18 PM I swear I was gonna start this thread...heh.
Looks nice huricansplyr2.
EastTNScionxB, I haven't selected or ordered my rims yet, but I do plan on a set of 17" black or gunmetal rims with a polished lip and some Tein H-Tech springs to finish it off. I'm feelin' you in regards to those potholes, that's why I'm only going with 17s and a slight drop with the H-Techs.
I'm gonna make a decision on the style and order 'em in the next week. Once installed, I'll post some pics.

Couldn't see them on your site, so I tried posting here.
EastTNScionxB 02-25-2005, 07:53 PM Remember heavy circles mean problems later, Racing Hart GT-5/TRD very light!
So how heavy is too heavy? Do any of the rims I listed above fit that "too heavy" category?
Thank you for the info! That helps a TON since I am new at tuning and aftermarket stuff.

disco 02-25-2005, 08:05 PM I am mostly talking about heavy steel/chromy's big dubbers. I'm thinking brake wear and life. Remember these are little 4 banger chariots. Choose whatever you want, less issue with lighter wheels, but lighter wheels tear up faster in my experience. There seems to be some very intelligent wheel junkies on this site check the forums or tech page.
I have Konig Theory's also in graphite with polished lip in an 18. Check my profile for pics.

matchbox 02-25-2005, 08:38 PM I liked the darker silver with dark tinted windows. These are 19" HP Racing Fusions with a 2" Goldline drop. As far as weight I think these are around 40 lbs with tires. Kinda heavy, but I have a supercharger so its not noticable.

EastTNScionxB 02-25-2005, 09:18 PM Now that I look, almost all of us will have gunmetal or black rims......hmmm
hotbox05 02-25-2005, 09:19 PM Theyre different , i'd say for a pw go with black with polished lip or bronze wheels.

These are 5 lug... I like em though, what type of enkeis are they?
EastTNScionxB 02-25-2005, 09:24 PM I like black, but gunmetal looks cleaner to me. Like I said above, I want a more aggressive but very clean look. There is another PW xB here with black rims......gunmetal is close, but not the same. Get what I mean?

Those are 5 lug, but they come in 4. Those rims are the Enkei Evo-6.

They're 17's, with a 205/45/17 Toyo Proxes on some Progress springs(1.8F 1.5R Drop) I had to go with 17's and the 45 series tires because the pot holes here are ginormous and honestly I can't afford new rims/tires everytime I hit one. Ballin on a Budget. As for the brand I honestly don't know what they are, I got them in a trade, but they do say Maxim in the center. Dunno if that helps.

TexasIceBox 02-26-2005, 02:11 PM here is a pick of my box. i got my wheels from a friend. they are (riax)18 x 7.5 with a 35 series tire. that puts it the same size as a stock tire. so there was no speedo change.

PrincessScion 02-28-2005, 01:27 PM This is my "Winter Look", in Iowa you really can't get anywhere in the winter on low profile tires, so we went back to the original 15's and modified the offset to fit full baby moons. Gives it a pretty solid look in the winter...

Then, when warmer weather starts to come around, this is the look we went for:
