Default DUMB QUESTION... But I Need HELP Baaaaad...!!!

Hi.

I'm picking up my xA this Wednesday (I've been losing sleep!). I want to get alloys for it... Specifically, the alloy options to the 04 and 05 xA. I think they look a lot classier. Anywho, eBay has'em for really cheap... Now here's the dumb question...

The auction is for the four alloys... will the rubber on my steel wheels fit/transfer right over on the alloys? Or do I have to purchase all new rubber tires...?

Also... does ANYONE have the rear chrome garnish??? If so, I BEG OF YOU to PLEASE post it!!

Yes, the alloys use the sam tires as the steelies. I reccomend just browing ebay and other sites for any 15" rim, most will fit the stock tires. Just make sure they are 4 lug. You can find some rims that look better and cost less than Scion's.

Thanks for the response, fellas...!

Here's an eBay auction... Can someone tell me if it's legit...? $259.00 for FOUR alloy wheels sounds too good to be true... or is that the price for one alloy? I emailed the seller two days ago and he hasn't responded.

Maybe their refurbished?

Also... Will 05 xA alloys work on 06 xAs?

The seller is ScionSport, 100% legit. It's a major online Scion parts store. You can visit their site at www.scionsport.com . Yes, 05 wheels will fit on the 06. Personally I think those wheels are ugly, you need to look into aftermarket. Check out discount tires direct...
