If you get new rims, then I say yes because you dont have enough poke with those... good looking car by the way. I wanted to go with the black heads/taillights too. Going with the red LED ones to add soem color.

They'll look nice..............yeah, Kirb, I'm planning in showing my box at HIN LA..........I'm going to be needing hookups from who ever and maybe sponsorships...............and I got 4 months to complete the box...........u think its possible to make a "mild" worthy Scion by that time box?

If you do, I'd find some subtle flares... you don't need much, but it would look nice.

This box looks like the flares were made to fit a box..............a clean, almost stock look.........well not stock, but body wise not really.

They did a good job in making the flares look like they belong there and not all "look at me, I have flares." lol.

Yeah most definatly get wheels that fit the flares. Thanks _eE_ for post pics of my ride. But i hate to look of wheels that are all small and spaced out just to fit some flares. Get some aggressive as wheels Kirby and flare it.

I meant your rims dont "poke" far enough out to warrant flares... unless you get some subtle flares.
