So I purchased my xB in January (from Scion of Lewsiville(TX) which had excellent service etc, but the the 'suit-and-tie' guy was a complete jerk) and finally started on her mods.

Before:




Last week I purchased my Hotchkis Lowering Springs which did wonders:




Then Today I picked up my new wheels, 15" Konig Theory's:

Nice!

(it's an xB, not an Xb)

Looks great! How much are the Hotckis springs supposed to lower?

Max

I have them. They are listed at just under 1.5", but in reality are much closer to 2"

trisha

Hotchkis lowered mine 1 7/16 in the front and 1 3/4 in the back.

Max

Are these your personal measurememnts? How long have they been installed. They will settle over the first few weeks.

keoki

like the drop but why not bigger rims girl!

Max

nothing wrong with some 15s

trisha

Those were my personal measurements after install (last wednesday). I was planning on a week or two for settling, then remeasuring to see if there was a difference.

Bigger wheels = more money.
I = small budget.

I'm really sleepy, but doesn't 1 7/6 = 2 1/6?
Anyways....an "OH HELL YES" for any dropped tcm. I like the rims. Good call- update the look, but keep the sizing so it'll roll like stock wheels. Keep it smooth

trisha

Haha, that should read 1 7/16 as in almost 1 1/2.
Will fix that lol.

That was the whole idea(besides saving money) to keep the same ride, just give her a little spice to get rid of those poor hub caps

The box is lookin' good! Noticed the envy green in the side pics too. Nice!

Theres this weird thing I like about the wheels and dont like at the same time. They look good though.. I understand the budget deal =P

Looks nice! Now you need to put some shine to the tires!

shadu

I like this color a lot man i has a real shine even without the wax but anyways looks good with that rims simple and sweet

trisha

I was just griping about how dull my tires were when I got my wheels put on! lol Don't worry, I'm working on it!

And she should shine, I wash her atleast two times a week.

And thanks for all the feedback !

phatfront

Trisha,

Aside from the car looking great with the new wheels and the drop.

Can yo honestly tell me ....... Do you feel a Better/worse/no change on the ride of the car ???????

I got new wheels, and lke you I decided to saty with the stock 15" size. I'm been pndering "to drop, or not to drop"
