If you are referring to the ten spoke xA wheels, they are only 15X5.5 and way to sunk in on an xB for me. I do like the original twist spoke xB alloys tho.

Didn't know about them being sunk in. Yeah, that won't look too hot. I'm going to find something though. I have a whole year to search though.

You could always have some steelies widened to 7 inches and paint them arget silver to look like rally wheels. That could look hot.

I wish I could get my steelies widened, but for the price people are charging to do it, might as well pick up a set of sport max and powder coat em a custom color or something, I would love something in the 15x8 with a white lip !

Anyone ever get around to painting their trim rings ? My stainless steel trims are so beyond rusted that I think I might see a project coming up soon if I can't polish em back up . .

If they are rusted they must be chromed and not stainless. I've never seen stainless rings rust.
But yes, sandblast them and paint away.

So I am sad. I parked my car over the winter in my bro's garage, and sadly there is a ton of rust spots on my like 8 month old chrome rings. How do i fix this?

My passenger front one is jacked from curb shots. It came off a few times for that same reason. One has a gnarly rust spot and road junk.

They rattle like hell but I like the look. I saw one in Sonoma, CA. With them and said to my GF.. "look Meg, they aren't stupid!"

Has anyone gone for a flush look with their trims and steelies? I was thinking of doing 25mm spacers all around, (10mm shims in rear) just to bring out the offset on my hotchkis drop, but am worried they will rub. That would bring it down to a +13 offset if I believe.

you could do a 25mm hub spacer in the rear and a 10 or 15mm wheel spacer on it. Been done before. Fronts a 25mm wheel spacer would do.

Sounds good, was just worried about rubbing with the offset on the hotchkis setup, but I guess it should be fine. Can't wait to see how the trims will look. The only thing I always wished about this look was that they could be flush with the fenders.
