I have been probably driving everyone crazy with posting so many different rims and such - I have decided to spend the extra money and get what I really want and that is it .....

* Please note, where the blue is in the rim, the color will be the same as the color on the Lava Box - Should look intense !

Here are the three that I have narrowed it down to ! What do you think ?

Bill: I think the 3rd wheel looks awesome. Are you still going to run 215/45/17?
I think you will like the ride.

I like billet wheels but only on Hot Rods...BUT then again I guess it depends on what theme your car is going to be. Looks likes you are going with that theme anyways...I do like the 1st and 3rd wheel.... I did a quick photochop so you can get an idea of what the 3rd wheel looks like..If i get the time ill do the 1st wheel..

I might of missed some highlights but you get the idea.

Do you have a connection at Bonspeed? FBI is an authorized dealer, and I can help you get the right offsets. Let me know!

I agree House, i like these the best out of alllllll those rims you posted. How much are they gonna set you back?

I'd say the third or the first .... can someone do a photochop of the 1st in lava ?

02-28-2004, 05:51 PM
I think I like the #1's better. but #3 got pretty cool with the right color. :) Either would look great. The high polished look on the xB would look great, I think.

Denny is the man..great guy and all. Watch out for him and the Crossfire xB in a couple of magazines representing the Scion Evolution family. You guys also gotta see the work he did for his xB...nice and clean.



House of Steel......Great choice on the hot lava..the wheel choice look nice.

Appreciate it ! It took awhile as you can tell from some previous threads, to many wheel chhoices and I feel with the theme this Lava Box will be, the rims will do it great justice ....... Wait until I can get my images of the air brush work posted .... I sent the concept to the guy in NY and he was going to render a sample ... :shock:

I would definately go with that first wheel. Its a chinese star type of look. And kinda looks like they could be spinners.

They do look good, I have to laugh about how hard I looked for the right rim - I kept going back to these and kept looking at others ! I am happy and appreciate the photoshop work wit the color, really makes it final !

I do have a question if anyone might know, these bad boyz do come in a 4-bolt right ? Ohhhhh, I hope so !

I am so ____ed off right now, I just got off the phone with USWHEEL to inquire about these 2 sets of rims - I was told they are not available in 4-bolt ...... THIS REALLY MAKES ME MAD ! I finally decided on these rims to be slammed back to square one !

Anyone have any ideas ? How about Boyd Coddington Rims, they seem on the same lines as these rims ..... Anyone know of any rims that match the 2 above ?

03-01-2004, 04:45 PM
You mean I photochopped and its not even available for 4 lugs?! Drats!

HOS..I feel ur pain...The nicest wheels are in a 5 lug (one of the reasons why I bought my v6 accord). Find another wheel and Ill photochop that one for you too... If it doesnt have color accents, im sure I can add them on.

Good luck.

I am waiting for a call back and will post them here when he tells me which ones ... I had my heart set on spoked one you colored for me ! Had CC in hand and whammmm / no good !

I called Boyds and spoke to Sam - He said they would work ! However he was not clear on what they are - 4 bolt, 5 bolt and such ? I will call later and see what I can do ! Yes, these are freaking awesome ! They outta be at 350.00+ per rim :P

what do you think of these?
If you want some let me know.

I ran budniks (trilogy 3) billets on my last car: Accord.
Billets on an import are awesome looking, and alot of people at the shows respect you for trying something different.
However, Billets are soft, and need polishing all the time. So drive careful, and prepare yourself to take an extra hour of cleaning just for your rims.
But the look is way worth it.

Hey Denny - Here are my 2 selections from Boyd Coddington ! They referred me to Pacific Wheel in California, they must be a dealer for the rims. Both rims need to be specially made for the 4-bolt 100 / 40 offset ! It will take about 3-4 weeks. Price each is about 296.00 which to me is not that bad to get something you want !

Here they are, folks what do you think these will look like mounted on the Hot Lava ? The MONSOON could be powder coated on those rigded areas ! I think it will look good !
