Default How will this look in a xB? Photoshop Help.

Would someone be so kind to 'photoshop' the wheel below to a side view of a black xB? I believe the wheel is size 14. If you can make it look lowered about 2 inches that would be great. Thanks.

Actually... I kind of like 'em. Sure it fills the area showing the disc brakes but it also has the added advantage of filling in the area showing the drums.

Why do you wanna put 14" wheels? (they look like alloy wheel of a 94 Corolla LE) The pic looks like you got the 9 spoke hub caps lol. Just MHO.

I'm looking for wheels that look like those 9 spoke hubcaps (phone dial). I found this while surfing the net. I believe it's from a 1998 Corolla. I'm not sure if they released these wheels in the US. Those 7 Hole Mini Cooper wheels looks good to. I read here that some folks have them on their xB but haven't seen a picture of it.

Do you mean like these?:







I dropped it 1" on Htech spings and stock shoks. It still rides pretty good. I also put on a progressive anti swaybar.

I forgot to mention that the wheels in the pictures are Konig Rewinds, 15X7 +40 offset. I am using the stock tires. They weigh 6 lb each less than the stock wheels and hubcaps. They look a lot like the Mini Cooper wheels, but they are inexpensive - about $100 ea. It is a relatively cheap upgrade for the stock wheels.

I really like that style! I think that on a camo Xb that the graphite version of the Konig would also look fantastic:



I think that 14" rims would look a little small on an Xb - in my opinion the 15s are marginally too small. It all comes down to personal preference - get what YOU like.
