Default SCION LIFE MEMBERS: Suggest xA & xB WHEEL & TIRES

SCION Lifers :D :

Looking for Wheel & Tire suggestions. Any recommendations on what brand wheels & tires that will perform and look off the heezy on Scions xA & xB. Let me know.

Post your suggestions in this forum as listed:

xA and/or xB:

WHEEL (BRAND,SIZE,STLYE,ETC):

TIRE (BRAND,TREND,WARRANTY,ETC):

BRIEF DESCRIPTION (ANY OTHER INFO):

YOUR RATING (1=BAD ~ 5=OFF THE HEEZY):

This is for peeps who are in limbo on what to do, including myself for my next xB purchase this Spring 2004. Also if there are any Wheel company who wish to showcase thier new 2004 line (Sneak Peek ) please do so.

ThanX

Default Nice wheels, but...

Nice looking wheels, especially in gun metal. Offset, however, is 42mm, isn't it? That is too high!...at least for me.

I know the 42 MM offset is to high but for the price I couldn't say no. My only concern is they won't fit an I refuse to run spacers.

Konig Imagine, 17x7 ET40, Opal.
Sits on Yokohama Parada Spec-II 205/40/R17

I think the MSRP is around $280 a wheel. I have them listed here at around $260. I'm biased. I like alot of spokes and the opal changes shade depending on the angle you look at it from. The tires aren't particularly cheap though

I don't think they will fit with 225/45's.... the tire wil probably rub on the rear suspension.

I don't think 215's will fit either....but I know 205/40/17's will fit on 42 offset wheels.

215 would have to fit considering the TRD rims are runing 215 and I believe they are a 42 mm offset. Can anyone answer that 1. Thanks.
