Apologies for blowing my top to all. I know rotas are looked down on by many who can afford to be picky, unfortunately, I cannot afford to be one of those people (As I said before in this thread, I cannot find another set of wheels that will achieve the look I would like for $400 shipped to my door...anyway...that's not the point.)
I tried to ask that the thread be cleaned up to remove posts that didn't include pictures, but it wasn't and this poor thread is pretty much dead.
On to better things that don't involve arguing on the internet

The mods only clean up threads (or lock them) when things get totally off topic, or abusive. They won't erase posts just because they don't have the pictures like you requested. That being said, I know that there are, and have been, other xB2 owners on ScionLife with Rota wheels. Help Roller_Toaster out with your pics, even if you no longer have your xB or have changed wheels. He's just trying to get some idea of how they look, so help a brother out if you can.

These arent Rotas but none the less very similar to GRIDS.
Wheels XXR 522
Specs: Front 19x8.5 + 15
Rear 19x10 + 20
Probably a little more aggressive then you want to go.. unless you have some sort of adjustable suspension.

NLmotoring is well known on this site for great service & great prices. Keep in mind the link I put up is for clearance priced wheels, so the availability and timing is limited. Their other wheels are at good prices also, but I know that you are dealing with a limited budget.

If rotas are around the 1-2k range might as well get some enkei rpf1's, You get a light, strong, good looking forged wheel for around 230 a rim. They my dream wheels haha

I personally don't care what people rock but I don't support cheap aftermarket companies (Rota, tenzo, weapon-r, etc.). Their products lack R&D and it shows in the build quality. I've seen enough threads about rota wheels breaking (literally) and its enough for me to stay away.
You do have a point sir, but then not all of them have bad reps. I personally rock XXR and from what I've read before I bought the wheels, they can take a beating. I've taken my wheels to hell and back (in Jersey roads) to the point where I believed hands down that they cracked/broke. I guess to each is their own. Just sayin though.

I'm sure if you were the owner of the orginal wheel design you wouldn't like someone ripping off your product and selling it for a fraction of the price would you?

A perfect example of why I don't support these companies is because Comptech went out of business. Everyone liked their products because they built high quality items, however they didn't want to pay the higher cost so they went with the cheaper Taiwan/Chinese product. Low and behold they are gone and people were shocked, go figure!

so sorry master but I have gotten a quote at discount tire, i was told i was able to get enkei rpf1's for around 230 a rim the total was around 1400 for everything including hub centric rings and so on. Forged and the size was 18x8 +30 offset. i was just suggesting to anybody who might want some rpf1's, and im thinking rota now, i always thought they were still around the 1k area soo if a set is 400-500 hmm might as well get rota's instead of drags, i was looking at some drag dr-31's.

From the Enkei website:
MAT Technology
Enkei developed a new manufacturing process to produce the next aluminum wheel generation. The Most Advanced Technology (M.A.T) combines one-piece cast wheel technology with a rim forming technology called spinning process. Using this new technology of casting and rim forming by M.A.T process, is critical to improve drastically the material property and strength of the wheels. Rim-Rolled technology shapes the rim to improve material elongation without sacrificing the wheels hardness.
