Steve/bBist's xB was probably one of the
first xB's I've seen. If it wasn't for his style
and for Scion being 'different' in general,
I wouldn't have got an xB.

Rims are crazy sick.
Anyone know what they are?

A little bit over the top for my tatses (but I realize it's a show car) but carbon fiber never fails to give me a chubby! Love the paint too.



So does bBist have a website you can actually order parts from or what?

Steve has the new Pri/Sport-Max 15 inch wheels that are new releases. They are 8 inch wide, and ZERO offset.

So, if you want to run them, you will definitely need flares up front.

Hopefully other offsets will be available as I would like a set of these also.

Zach,

Its more along the lines of like a Porsche Guards Red, maybe a shade or two lighter, IMHO.

Yes that is SIK, that splash of red goes awesome on the famous blue bBist xB! I wonder what other colors they will come in? 0 offset for 4x100 seems hard to find too... Hmmmm, 0 offset for the rear, 12-15 offset for the front, -3 degrees camber all around, would be nice :) Can't wait to find out more on those wheels....

Rico,

We seem to think alike. I know other colored centers will be available, just can't remember which ones. I would like black ones myself, w/ 0 offset in the rear and +15 up front.

I passed that on to Steve last week.

uh thats great.. i guess u really can't do anything besides
hug each other on this website.. or is that a bad word too?

gosh, all that goes on is neckrubs, pats on the backs..
even when it doesn't look good?!
i dunno.. i know i know.. im probably a big time a-ho le
but im just saying.. everytime i jump on here,
decide to say something like.. oh.. ditch the yellow
overlays.. they look stupid.. or.. hmm those wheels look
like watanabe's. so if they had a name would they be
called wanananabe's? lighten up... i can't believe people
have such issues dealing with people not liking something?

i drive a damn scion.. its practically an echo inside and out.
people don't like it, well so what? i like it and thats all that matters..
i dont know why everyone feels such a need to lock hands, form a circle and sing around a camp fire..

ohwellz, i guess this just means i gotta cut it out with them
snappy remarks with stuff i dont like..

I can appreciate the kit and the drop, but those wheels look like those one Rotas I see everyone use on their old intergras and crx's around here. The huge lip is very nice though, but I just can't get down with that design. But the fenders, the drop, that whole look with the aggressive kit :clap:

Not to stir the post off topic, but i'm finding a lot of truth to what hahajoey said. It does seem like folks on here, sound like they're lying out of their teeth. It's like when a girl asks you, do you think I'm fat, and you know her legs can't breathe through them pants, but you know better and just tell her, "nah, you look great."

joey if this was directed at me ya got me wrong.

i know what u meant. i just used eurolines as an example. i was not picking on you.

pretty much all wheels are copies. some will buy the expensive this or the jdm that . others will buy the copies. and everyone with the expensive "real" ones will hate on the "fake" ones.

it's all good

Everyone seems to have a different opinion on these wheels. It seems like most of the "older" school guys who saw the original version of this wheel years ago (or had them) seem to like this version. And then most of the newer guys to the scene seem to not like it and are into the more VIP or Tuner wheels.

Call it a knock-off, a fake, etc or whatever you feel like. It's okay for everyone to have they're own opinion. Just because one person doesn't like this wheel doesn't mean that everyone else is just "saying" they like it. I've had so many different opinions on this wheel that I actually believe that there are a large number of enthusiasts that like this style (and not just saying it) and then there are many who don't. Not a big deal...

(Thanks for the props :wink: )

Let's just try to keep this thread simple and with out bickering... :no: (joey)

...um, that's not the wheel everyone here is talking about.

Here's the newest and latest. The wheels will be coming in the following sizes & colors:

15X7 ET35 Red, Black, Silver, Gunmetal
15X8 ET0 Red, Black, Silver, Gunmetal
16X7 ET38 Red, Black, Silver, Gunmetal
17X7 ET40 Black, Silver, Gunmetal
18X7.5 ET42 Black, Silver, Gunmetal

The first allocation of wheels from SportMax will be the 15X8 ET0 by the end of Jan. There is no specification on which colors are arriving or pricing at this time. As soon as we know the details, we will post it here or on a sponsored sales thread.

Feel free to call or email us if there are any questions.

im sure 3 degrees of camber in the rear would work but with a little poke. then get a set of the 15x7 when they come out with 35 offset and run 25mm studded spacers!

flush all around!

There is just way too much going on here.

Do your own thing and all, but goddamn that thing is ugly.

More does NOT mean better.

The flares and hood wing look tacked on. The double-vented CF hood is ridiculous on a little japanese economy car. The body kit might be rare and japanese, but there's a reason it hasn't been imported: it's ugly and doesn't flow at all. And seriously, red wheels on a blue car? CF wrapped plastic mirrors that weigh more than the stock pieces?

:blah: Your the one to talk with nothing done to your car....... A TCM with white LED's outside and green LED's inside? That just flows perfectly :rofl: Ow and white fluff in the front dash and a flower umbrella in the hatch, I guess its your moms car.

As far as I'm concerned, boring is better than ugly.

An umbrella holder makes a lot more sense than a 120db muffler or huge carbon fiber fender flares on this funny-looking japanese econobox.

And the white LEDs outside match the headlights and speedometer while the green ones match the clock, ac controls and window switches.
