Default flat black 9 spoke hubs with toyota center cap

Just a quick, easy mod! It only cost me about $10 for the 2 spray cans of paint. I peeled off the scion "sticker" center cap prior to painting the hubcaps. They turned out really well. I have a carbon fiber FAB spoiler installed so along with the hubcaps, they provide a good contrast to the white body. check it out. (sorry for the actual tire being so ashy and dry).

I used one can of white paint and it matched my PW well enough.
My FAB wing is PW. I want to see a photo of yours from the side.
I painted my wheel weights black without removing them.
I also painted the white parts of the wheel wells.
See here:

I now run with trim rings and Crome Gorilla lug nuts.

So step back a few and shoot again.

i will try and take some pics of it 2m if the weather is good. the hubcaps are going to be kind hard to see because i'm using a camera phone. the hubcaps also look way better in person because of the color. your xb doesn't look bad but i've never been a fan of white rims, hubcaps, etc. just not my thing but i like what you've done with yours.

These days I wash up at Sammy's car wash. Look for my box out back.
Just to be sure.... you have a CABIN AIR FILTER in your CABIN AIR FILTER tray that is behind your glove box, right? If not, see thread in TECH section called 'Fabricate your own CABIN AIR FILTER'.
You can use white correct-a-type (liguid paper) to 'paint' the black bumper cover bolts on the fenders. The black of these bolts stands out on the white fender.

But you know all that if you are a SCIONLIFER.
