Man...I just can't seem to make up my mind. :lol: I used to not like chrome wheels all that much...but since hanging out here I've come to love the look of chrome Lowenhart LD1's. haha BUT I also like the look of the Work Meister S1's....AND I like the look of the new Falken Hanabi's...So I figured I'd post a poll to see what others think would look nice. Maybe it'll help me decide in the end. :roll: :lol:

Option 1:

Falken Hanabi's in Bronze 17x7.5 with +32 offset

Option 2:

Work Meister S1 1 Pieces in Bronze 17x7.5 with +25 offset (also would like to note that these are no longer regular production items...so it'll take longer to get'em)

Option 3:

Lowenhart LD1 knockoffs (yeah I know...but seeing as how the LD1's go for $800 a piece I just can't justify that...) in Chrome 17x7 with +42 offset

Anyway...all opinions are welcomed! :) Please help a nerd decide. :lol:

please no bling bling....i think simple chrome rims would look ok on these, but not the big lowdogs....

read his sig its in there *no sarcasism intended* its gunna be a white xB

i like option 1 and 2 if you have the chance sell a left nut and get the HRE's
as for option 2 theyre ok not all that but any one of those colors will look good on a white xb

hehe yeah it'll be a white (unfortunately I don't have it yet...don't know when I'll be able to get it at the present :( )...considering the silver but only out of fear of scratches and paint chips showing up a little worse on white. Anyway, I don't want big chrome wheels (wouldn't even really consider it hehe) I'm sticking with the 17 inch size no matter the rim I get.

I notice that everytime

#2 but not in bronze, the metal look is sweet. and if your serious about a scion you'd buy them before the car came

believe me I'm serious...if I had the money I'd start buying stuff for it now but I can't at the moment. Right now I'm just making preliminary plans...to but it bluntly I have no job. If I had money coming in it would be less of an issue. But anyway...

So why not bronze? Don't like the look?

i was just saying that because there are a couple peeps i know who bought stuff for a scion and have it on order. i just don't want you to have a scion and then have to wait 2 months for wheels like some people here including myself.

sometimes you don't know what kind of bronze your gettin. i don't know what it is but you can get a real ugly color sometimes. but hey, they are works

hehe yeah I understand...thanks for the concern. But at present, like I said, I don't really have any options. But it's all good! :D

As far as color goes...yeah I see your point...hehe but that's one of the risks you take in life. :wink: :lol: An expensive risk but a risk none the less.

Anyway, first things first...must have income!

Number 2 for me but everyone has some type of 5 spoke rims so number 1 if you want to change it up a little bit.

Option 1 for sure... or a decent knock-off if you can find one.

hehe Well thanks for all the comments guys! Keep'em comin'! I'm pretty well decided on which one to get...kind of. :lol: And I got to thinking...if I get chrome, those are gonna be a butt to keep clean! I mean...I'll hafta clean'em a lot to keep'em looking nice, no? They look cool but I think I'll go for lower maintenance ones. :wink:
