Default Did anyone get the 2005 xA alloys?

I was wondering, did anybody here get their 2005 xA with the 15 inch alloys? Very few of the xA pics I have found have them.
Is it just the fact that for a little extra money, you can get 17s, or are there quality issues with the factory alloys?
I kinda like them, so I went ahead and ordered them with my new xA (indigo 5sp).
I figure that way if I do decide to upgrade to different wheels, they would be much easier to sell than the plain jane steel wheels w/covers.
I wish I could find a pic of a blue xA with the 10 spoke scion alloys somewhere

Not really worth it since they re-use the same economy tires as the stock ones. So basically, you're paying an extra 600 for the same stock tires and performance.

For our cars, aftermarket rims aren't just for looks, but swapping the tires to something that performs better can improve safety in many situations.

Go aftermarket and never go back
