i am talking about the xb

and i posted this in the WHEELS forum .. which is exactly what this is .. a WHEELS post...

i figure more people will view it here and this is where it should be ... im sure some TC people like the xb and prolly have some pics of them as well

so everyone can contribute if they like

go bigger honestly, smaller the rims the thicker the tire. And to me that looks plain ugly.

I have Pacer rims and Kumo P195/60R15's. I drive up to 250 miles a day and just didn't like the ride you get from the 18 and 19 inch rims. I think the combination I have actually made for a better riding and handling car. [/img]

I saw BLeek's camo xB the other day. IIRC, he's running tein s-tech springs (-1.7 in.) and has the OEM wheels/hubcaps/tires on for the winter. It looked much better than with stock ride height.

I think a nice set of 15s would be fine...lowering the car an inch or two makes all the visual difference in the world!!! Increased rim diameter is just icing on the cake.

I think these are the 15" revolutions on Dunlops that Mac'N Cheese (?) was running and then selling late last year for the smokin' deal of $700: http://www.scionlife.com/xb/wp3_800.jpg (Apologies if I'm wrong; they look similar). Anyway, deep dish 15s are sweet looking if you ask me. I had 17s on 215/45s, but they rubbed occassionally. Also, bigger is heavier. Now that I am back on stock 15s I get the occasional second gear chirp. Reason enuf to stay small. Better ride, too. But I agree that no matter what size, a drop helps tons in the looks dept.

03-09-2005, 11:25 PM
I had 17's w/ a 45 side wall, lowered on tanabe df210's (2 inch drop) and the ride was horrible, handleing suffered and acceleration was diminished. I went to a 15 w/ a 50 sidewall and I love it! I think coil overs would improve the looks a bit, but other than that I am very happy. Ipersonnally think that my car looked better w/ 17's but the ride was just too much to take every day.

NICE! This is the best lookin' wheel setup I have seen yet on an xB, and one of the best on any car, period. It's pretty much perfect IMO. (In otherwords, lemme know if you ever decide to sell again...)

I am not rolling a drop....but I am on 15s....these are the EM-7 Spoke Scion rims. The same ones you see in the commercials. The tires are stock Goodyear's I think they are 215/60/15 Definitely for sales though. Take a look! I would like to sell them ASAP! $500 SHIPPED! Thanks!

i was thinking about staying either 15" or 16" ssr glucks, but i wasn't clearing alot of places mostly drive ways. i was on the stock alloys with tein s-techs. so i had to go a little bigger and ended up going with some 17's. but i'm still debating about ordering some 15's or 16's to keep for carshow purposes. i just loved how low (bottom of the body kits) would sit without doing the airbag option.

Is that a picture of it at stock height? I thought the Goldlines cleaned up a lot more of the wheel gap than that... maybe it's just the angle.

maybe its because of the 50 series tire .. vs the oem which is a 65 series

That xA you mentioned is most likely mine. It's not gunmetal though, it is charcoal grey. The gunmetal finish is a little bit darker. I was going to get red with red lip at first but then i decided to go with another color because i knew i would get sick of the red lip after a couple months. I still like that color combination, don't get me wrong. I had black rims back then on my xA so i wanted to go another route.

It's based on the percentage of posts you have in relation to the average number of posts the top 5 have or something like that. To give you an idea.. I'm #14 on the "too many damn posts" lists and my bar is only 75% full even with over 2K posts that haven't been deleted.

Well I'm still confuzzled about rim size/choice.

Thinking about the bBist wheel (18x7.5, 18x8.5) or
forged Racing Hart's, 15inch.

Here's a pic of my friend's xB with the RH's. Reason why I'm iffy is the price.
He offered me $1,200 for the rims/tires, but that's pretty pricey.
And the bBist wheel is $800 altogether, + tires.

Help!
I just want that 'JDM'ish look, but don't want any rubbing probs since I have TEIN S-Techs.

arent you guys glad i started this thread :)

ill give you my insight to big vs small wheels

i recently was rolling motegi ff7 in 18" with a 215 40 18 tire

a few things i liked about the setup

pimp looking
absolitely 0 wheel gap

things i didnt like

harsher ride
made the car not look as slammed as it does on 15s
slower acceleration from the added weight

im back on 15s again .. im using the 6 spoke xA rims i got from back in black xA and the ride is like a dream

im def sticking with 15s .. im dropped on goldlines and with 15s .. even with stock tires.. the car looks SLAMMED

i still do like the tuck look that the 18s give


here is a pic of the wheels im rocking now - ill get a pic of em on the box once the rain stops

Plus I can imagine trying to do a U-Turn on TEIN's and 18's.

I'll try to save up $800 and see if he'll take that offer for the forged RH's.

nice work. you read my mind. after learning that the ats cups may require trimming the caliper or something like that, my interest has waned and i started thinking along these lines...so, how did you paint these? spray, brush? what kind of paint? how about a little DIY-guide? looks great with the drop. clean and original.

Wash and scrub your rims. Use dish detergent, it removes oil and wax from painted surfaces (not good for your car paint, but good for surfaces your really need clean). When they dry off, wipe them down one last time with a dry paper towel. Mask off the tires as best you can, cover the entire edge of the tire, past the tread.

Then paint slowly with a rattle can. First two coats shouldn't even leave the rim red, it should still be black with redish color on it. The third fourth and fifth coat will cover it in a real deep red. Make sure to let the paint tack up (dry slightly) for about 15 mins per coat. Anything past the fifth coat is purely to even it all out and get any spots you missed.

If you've never used a spray can before, go buy something really oddly shaped and test your skills first. Learn how to not get drips or orange peel. Eventually you'll get the hang of it.

It only took me 2 cans of paint to cover all 4 rims. Make sure you use a high temp engine paint. My stock rims with the EBC GreenStuff brake pads up front get so hot they would make regular paint burn off. Literally fire would ensue the first time I came to a harsh stop... so use a high temp paint. I used Chyrsler Industrial Red because it's truely old school. It's not a deep red, but more of an orangish red. Really works well, but feel free to use any color you like. There are a ton of colors that would looke pretty cool depending on the color of your car.

The chrome trim rings were like $10 each, and were standard trim rings for a 15" rim.

Don't expect the paint job to turn out perfectly, if you want perfect go get yer rims sand blasted and powder coated. But I did this on a whim, my 19's were going bald slowly, and I needed to do something. My factory rims/tires were still coated in mud from the last time I went mudding, so I had to wash them off anyway. I didn't like the factory hubcaps, so I came up with this.

DGTLLVR
05-02-2005, 11:23 PM

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/dgtllvr/DSC00001_1.jpg

I put the 19's on after mudding because the mud caused the stock rims to go WAY out of balance and I couldn't drive more than 65mph. I left it muddy for like 3 days, then it rained.

05-02-2005, 11:54 PM

Every time I look at this thread it makes me dis like my 18's more and more. Damn you people. The other thing that Im starting to see is every single box around my way lately is on 17's or 18's and looking the same. Time to switch it up and do something diffrent. I think its time to put the Mx5 wheels back on!

I'm thinking these, in 15's, will be my next wheel. Kinda like the old Hot Wheels redline look.

Ugly Duck,
Yes, they are 16" Flat Black Rota Slipstreams. Love em. :P

Do you mean 15"? What ratio sidewall are you running on those?


No, I meant 16". I know the topic was for 15's, but what the hell... :P My tires are 205/50/R16, and they ride like a dream. :love:

those are replicas of classic Mugen rims, just to let you know, which was a co. started by the son of Honda, and they only tune hondas, similar to TRD

those are nice. I might also suggest checking out the 15" selection from rota.

Unfotunately a lot of rim manufactuers are going with the bigger is better approach.

Well I did it! Took the 18's of and slaped the Mx5 wheels back on. Got some new Falken ZE512 skins to wrap em with and gave em a fresh coat of paint. Tire size is 195/60/14 Same height as the stock 15' set up. The weight diffrence was crazy. The 18's where 45 pounds each, these little guys are only 33 pounds each Light weight baby !!!!!
