I need your help, I'm ordering my xB on Monday, and because of circumstances we will be leasing it. Because of this I need to go with Factory alloy wheels because I refuse to have hubcaps. They list as options an alloy 7-spoke and an alloy s-14 spoke. the only pictures I ever see are of the 14 spokes. can't find any referance to the 7 spoke alloys. has anybody seen them, I'm not sure on the 14 spoke so I'd like to find out more info on the 7. I live in Iowa so I can't just go to the nearest dealer and find out because they are all still in set up stages and don't know any more than I do. I'd be grateful for any help. :?:

Thanks

 

We rolled about 50 Scions out the door over the first 2 months of launch. Every customer that I bought the Scion alloys from us...went with the 7-spoke. It's a sportier looking alloy and is much easier to keep clean. Sorry I can help with any pictures - but if you log onto www.motegiracing.com and look at the MR3 = its similar (except for one less spoke).

 

I saw them the other day, they're descent looking. Only 15's (I like a big wheel), but they're a lot better than the spiral ones. It's basically 7 fat spokes. I really like the Scion-logo center caps on them, I went to price them out (I would like to put them on my rims) and they're $65 each!! If anyone knows where to get these for a descent price let me know.

 

Thanks for the input, that helps alot. I think I'll be going with the 7 spokes for sure now.

 

why does it matter that your leasing it....take in home take off the donuts and bolt on new rims, they dont know and if they did why would it matter?

 

It matters cause my wife works at a TFS call center and its a corporate lease, She might drive it to work once in a while if its parked behind the Matrix. and since its a corporate vehical all maintanece is recorded and logged, could affect our future leasing if I start messing with it. and some dealer mechanic notes it. I'd rather have some other wheels but I gotta play it safe for now.

If it's those, I think they're hideous.
Have them get you a "TRD" aka RH Evolution package.

 

I saw them at the dealership when I picked up my car. They look much better than the twist rims they first offered. He told me a price of like $650.00 I think.
