The five spoke wheels will indeed be going on a Scion.. I'm going to have to check to get the name of the finish on them again, but it was something like "Lightning Silver" I think. They're not as pricey as one would think. $335/each as seen in the pics. In fact, that makes the set of four wheels $1340 (that includes shipping to the US from Japan) which is less than even the retail price of the wheels IN Japan! Don't ask me how I can do it! >HAHA< :)

Let's see... the Termist TM1 Reloaded are avl in 4x100 bolt pattern in 17" only, and in many different widths and offsets, so prices vary. But, for example, let's say you wanted a set of four 17x8", +25mm, A disk wheels all around, price would be $1750 in the same silver finish you see in the pics.

And Louie, if you guys did want Nezart Spokes in 15", I'd recommend a set of 15x8", +25mm front and rear. The lip on those is just about 10mm less than the ones in the pic. Price is about $260/each in the standard silver color. That width coupled with the stock tires will stretch them a little bit, making them look like low-profile aftermarket tires too.

BTW, Brian: Your Workies should be leaving Japan in the next week or so...and should still be scheduled to come in early January. Hey, 2.2 months to get 100% custom made wheels isn't too bad tho, right! I'll keep you posted when they're about to leave Japan...

Verone: I might have a set of wheels for your flared ride! I've got a set of wide and deeeeeeep Euroline Ns coming that I might not want to run (they're a personal set, and I'm already changing my mind about them before they're here :) ...so if you're interested in filling up those flares.....

Yeah, I guess I can wait a little longer.

Van and I got together the other night to see what his Work Nezart Spoke's would look like on an xB, so he slapped them on mine. (16 x 8, +25mm offset, 95mm lip)

Not only did it physically change the stance of the car, but the lip really changes the feel. (NorCal guys: remember the white 5Zigens?)



Note how flush the front wheels are to the fender. That's an 8" width with +25 offset. Just imagine an 8 1/2" width with the same offset! Of course it's all a matter of taste, but I'm thinking that staggered widths and offsets might be the way to go.





I'll try to take some better pics soon.


Peace,

that is beyond sick, i love that look

with some spacers in the back it wouldn't matter how high the offset can get whether they are 8" or 8.5"

Im not feeling jesse's wheels, but I guess its because I dont like chrome..........

If they made those in billet then I would maybe consider looking twice.

Nice lip!!. I love the width and offset.. IMO 17' or 18's are the way to go. I'm not feeling the 16s.. The spoke design isnt that great either.. BUT DAMN THAT LIP MAKES ME GO

I DO like that!

By any chance did you weigh those wheels before mounting the tires? If not what was your guess as to what they might weigh or whether they were heavy.

Can't wait for an xB!
