Ok, I won't keep peeps in suspense any longer.
The wheels are/will be shortly available from Steve, bBist.com. Yes, a NEW item from bBist.com!
The wheels come in 18x7.5 +38, 18x8.5 +35, and 18x9.5 +30, and available w/ silver or gunmetal centers. (I think black will be available in the next few months.)
Yes, some of you may recognize the style/manufacturer, and you will also notice they were not available for fitment for Scions before.
In regards to my wheels, I'm running 18x7.5 up front, and 18x8.5 in back. Tires are 215/35-18 Nitto NeoGens front and rear. Thus the stretch on the rear tires. I was going to run 205/40-18s up front, for the stretch look, but not w/ the CA freeways in my area.
I would like to THANK Steve for letting me to be the first to have these wheels mounted on my xB, and will do my best to promote this wheel and the rest of the bBist.com line for him.

In regards to my drop, its TEIN Wagons at their lowest settings. The rear is a bit lower as there are five Buddy Club 17x7.5 wheels mounted w/ tires, loaded in the back. So, its a bit lower than normal. And I have 2 degrees of camber up front, and 3 degrees of camber in back.
Does it scrape the fender? Yes, the right rear scraped on the way home last night, so I guess I better roll it slightly. The driver was fine.
Once again, I would like to THANK Steve!
I never thought I would have my xB looking like it does right now.

Hey squirrel i loved your other wheels ! Are they for sale?
Shoot! I knew they werent axis hiros but similiar! Probably even better! But dang your buddy clubs are hot too! Do you know if bbist is making a 19" wheel? I want to go bigger now like mod seven style or similiar to yours!
Lookin' good Brad. It's almost time for me to make another trip down that way to see everyone again. I'm thinking I'll be down at the San Diego show in June/July. We'll see.
Do you have any problems with the 3° of camber? Like tire wear or anything? I've been considering adding a couple degrees to my car, but I don't want to go through tires every 6 months.
