Default My new look! Tanabe NF210's installed

Hey everyone. Just got my car back from the shop with a little off the bottom!








Hope it looks good to all of you! The shop went nuts when it was finished and the head mechanic had tried to talk me out of it, because of ride concerns. Not any more after he drove it! :D

This picture is so BADASS! The Japanese built us a cute XB, but as Americans, no one can build weapons like ours that help us protect the free world! Very cool picture man!

Thank You D_Unit

I'm a peaceful man and am so glad that Japan and America became friends. Now if only other countries would follow the lead. I'm afraid this president has made many enemies of many lands making wounds that could take decades to heal like it did for Japan and the U.S.

alright!









I'm not as impressed with closeup shots because the gap appears to be bigger than it is But.....

Good drop. But personally, those wheels are much too high of an offset. For most conservative scion guys, thats just fine and dandy, but for a show mongerer like myself, I ***** up with sub-zero offsets and 9"+ widths.

Those look like Motegi MR-7 in 17".

Damn do I wish they made those in all black and 18".

I love the look of that ride, the NF's are soooo classy.

The 17's don't look too bad. Makes it hard to look past the Motegi Traklite's in black that weight 15lbs.

They're 16x7's, but Motegi has discontinued the MR7. Some places still have leftovers, but they don't make them anymore; so if you have them, take special care not to curb them.

The TrakLite's are way sweet, but they also cost more than 2x the MR7's.

Yeah the Traklite's empty the pocketbook quite a bit. Looking at the SP 10's that I can get for about $140 and powdercoat them black. Should be a pretty sweet affordable wheel that only weighs 18.5 lbs for 18's. I just don't know what Motegi was thinking when they made the rear lip silver on a sweet **** black wheel. Pretty dumb.

Then there is the Tenzo Type M in black. Although I wish Tenzo would make the DC-6 in all black without that hideous red stripe!

They do have a DC-6 Version 2 that is all charcoal. Not quite pure black, but pretty close.

Yeah, just not sure how that will look with a BSP with really dark tint. I'm trying to go all black. I don't think the charcoal will work.

Its crazy how hard it is to find an all black wheel that will work with the xB and not break the bank.

Didn't know what color you have... thought it might be BSP, but figured I'd throw out the charcoal in case it wasn't.

I agree, wait until you find something you like in pure black.

These are Motegi MR7 #2071 rims 16 X 7"

They look great while I figure out my next step with gas skyrocketing all the time. I don't relly care what is on there because gas MPG is a greater concern.

As to this MaxBoost925

The offset I believe is +42mm and for cheap wheels I wasn't going to fuss much over such things. Yet I saved your comment for review when I get more serious and may chase you down for suggestions! Hope you'll be there for me.
