Default 3 Reasons why you should purchase the black TRD wheels.....

1) The wheels look fantastic, and the tires are like glue to the road.

2) These are hands down the easiest wheels to clean in the world, inside and out

3) If your significant other curb rashes them, you can fix the scratch with a $2 bottle of Testers model paint!

1) There are better tires than what comes on them

2) Hubcaps are easier. Remove, place in sink/tub, add dawn + water

3)If you curb them and cover with paint, they're still curbed




I don't even know which ones you're talking about, but if it's the 5-spoke black TRDs (thick spokes), then I will agree that they are nice.

1) Well.. what if the tires they used on someone elses xD weren't the best like what you have?

2) Yes they are easy compared to 10 spokes lol.

3) Curbed is curbed

Also.. you can get much better looking wheels for $2k :?

Agreed.. if they weren't 2k then it'd be worth looking at..

I like those wheels on the xD, but only if its lowered of course (unlike this one hehehe)

I know you can barely see, but you get the idea

2K from where? Ours are $848 for a set of four. They are nice and I would agree that they are very easy to clean. If we didn't put the 19" ones on our xB I would have tried these but the new xB has a pretty large wheel well.

thats what i thought they look good but are not worth 2000 and i think a 10-spoke wheel would look better on the xd and it would be cheaper

I think he means when you add them as an option (w/ tires) when buying new, they're $1999. Checked and that's the same for the tC.

Oh duh, I wasn't even thinking about the price it would be when getting it the same time as you get the car. They really add a lot to the price when you finance it all in together.

Ya, that's like another $30-$40/mo on top of the price. Pretty crazy for some wheels.
