HI Gurus,

My Black Beast (xA) will be arriving next week. I want to know which is the best place to buy wheels / KenStyle body kit ? Which wheels are good (I mean 15, 16 or 17 ?) ? Does it make difference in mpg ? Which is the best place to do windows tinting in Northern California ? I appreciate your help.

Cheers.

 

You can pick up the Kenstyle kit at Scionsport.com and I'm sure there are a few others out there, but, I don't know which.

I can help you out in the wheel department. :D

One thing to remember about wheels is the larger in size they become, the more rotational mass you will have. This will reduce engine power slightly, and effect gas milage. Try to stick with a lightweight wheel if you can.

I went for a set of König wheels in 15x7 as I wanted to keep the theme "small but stylish" and they will have good ride characteristics. It will also make the car a complete blast once it is lowered and gets an anti-roll bar.

There are two places I highly recommend for purchasing wheels online. TireRack.com and Discount Tire Direct. I have purchased the wheels for my xA at DTD and the shopping and purchasing experience was excellent.

Always research your wheels before purchasing. They will probably be one of the most expensive purchases you will make for your car and one of the most stylish.

 

Check the Pacific Mid forum for more info on window tinting.
