you can go one more winter with them and in the spring, paint the steely's a wacky color with a trim ring or something. its only winter so nobody cares what your wheels look like.

These are pre-curved, available in many colors and are cheap.

those are pretty cool and i would love to see them on stock wheels. however if you are constantly driving through heavy snow and dealing with salt, i doubt they would hold up very long.

Not sure how they would hold up either, but for $5 for all 4 wheels, very inexpensive to replace.

We've went over this, haha. I live in williston park, you're in westbury... i actual;ly saw your xb2 a while back at the at&t store on old country road and debated parking next to you and going in to ask who's xb it was, but as you can see, i refrained. What happened to the best buy meet? Dead now...?
btw, id love to try those blacked out tails on my HTM to see if i like, since you said it's beeen sitting in your garage... that is, if you'd be willing to sell
