Very nice. I am going to do this until I can afford to get some new wheels. Did you buy them locally or order them?

 

can't wait to see pics gothbox

Well here in Las Vegas we bought them at Checker Auto store. In CA its called Kragen Auto and then in I THINK AZ it has another name. lol Im not sure so you'd have to check your area or see if Checker has an online forum and ask what the store is called where you live. They were 12.99 each and the lugs were like 3 bucks at WalMart and the compliments daily are priceless! lol

Good luck and post pics....you wont be sorry! We just got three compliments today alone.


sorry for the thread hi-jack!

 

I rock the same set up with no dice........

 

I would some flat black pinstriping and ghost flames....you can look on loine and some companies make custom steelies

 

I can't rock that without caps and have yet to see them with a pic of caps.. whose got the caps?

 

get a 5 lug conversion kit

 

no dice here either...those were for a Vegas car show we did.

:D

 

not the best shot...but here's mine with the stock steelies and rings.....i also blacked out the front logo.....

i'd love to go flat black...or even flat black with a white top.....plus red rims, rings and white walls for a rat rod kinda thing....

Beauty rings look good!!!


What happened to Will???

 

here's my 'oldies' ride:





more pix at www.fotki.com/jugnu03 and www.fotki.com/scionnighthd

im on www.scionnight.com on pages 7 and 8! vote me into my first show, please?

IMO in the pix, i kinda liked the look w/o chrome lugs and rings, just flat black in the middle.. but then again, good both ways

 

Go ahead if you want to^

I will try and get some updated pics tomarrow, and post b/c I have made a new taller shifter

 

if you go to Big B on ebay you can get some moonies style for $55 if you look up Tomas under staff look up his profile .. and see his pic's ..

 

DUDE, I like the white walls, what size/brand are they?
I was thinking about that and yours look good.
and nice bags, One day I will be there too.

 

Personally, this is the wrong car to do it 'old school'. i really hate the idea of painting it flat black and doin all the rat rod stuff. not even close to the rat rod style.

 

Pardon my hot rod ignorance, but what exactly is rat rod style? I'm only familiar with the Rat Fink character, but don't know how the cars look....

In my head, I had the stereotypical picture of flames and chrome rims...like these:


(coincidentally, both wheels are for sale in classifieds!)

I actually going to do this, but at the last minute moved into a different direction. Anyhow, I think the xB can look good in all sorts of styles if done cleanly...

 

hey gothbox; those are porta-walls that i bought at a local vw shop in my area; 15" 195/60 falken tires on my stockies..

the stance really does it with the whitewalls IMHO, thx for the props; im having fun w/this car;)

 

Tesh, your stance is awesome, can't wait to check out those tires at Scion Night!

 

We went to a Euro car show yesterday, as soon as I can upload the pics I'll share one of a guy's mini truck, his stick is about one and half times that high.

WHY do they do that???

I'll be back later on to share! :D

 

cuz it's cool that's why
