Default Inexpensive modifications: rims

My Xa is just a regular blue Xa with tinted windows (I live in AZ), the faux carbon fiber stuff on the doors and the wing on the back. The thing is, I've got just the regular wheels with the plastic hubcaps.

I'd like to actually improve the looks of my Xa with some rims. Does anyone have any suggestions on a) where to purchase original Scion Xa rims cheaper than the dealer; or b) other suggestions for non-Scion rims.

I don't wanna drop a huge amount on the rims, but I'd like to improve the looks of my Xa.

Thanks -

I thought someone was running the 15x8 0 offsets on an XA? They stuck out alot, but he had them on there... Or was that you Subcode?

yeah..but I sold them running stock now.. even after the neg chamber, rolled fender...the 225x50x15 will rub...just dont go that big...215 will be 1/4" smaller, 205 will be 1/2" smaller...I only recommend 205.50.15..max oh the 15 x 8 "0" offset will rub even after the modifications...just for the record......I just got tired of the massive rubbing in the back and front...so I'm going to retool another sensible 15x8" +20 offset rim/205.50.15 setup..with my fenders rolled and flat and the OTG neg chamber shims in...I'm ready for my next rim set #6....hope these look right...stay tuned...
