I finally actually got new wheels. Not new to me wheels, but legit new wheels. I waited since June to get these. They hadn't produced them yet, just had a sample wheel. I liked what I saw and I ordered them.







I was slightly disappointed that they went on as easily as they did with the specs...

 

Two things.

1) As a general rule, I like smaller wheels.

2) Those look F&$*ing amazing.

Seriously, those look great! Are those 19's??

 

Saawweeeeeeeet! Looks like 20's to me, yah / no?

 

They look good, what are they? rotiform? adv.1?

 

Rotiform BLQ in 19x9.5 +25mm with Achilles 225/35R19's. Stretch was more than what I expected and I shoould have probably went with a 235/35R19, but I have what I have.
In some pics they look larger than what they are.

Fronts went on with no rolling, no rubbing, no nothing. Just bolted them on, test drove it, nothing. Seriously surprised the heck out of me. Rears are rolled and slightly pulled. I extended the coilover shocks out a bit, so now I have about 1"-1.5" of rear suspension travel. Still rides well.

Thanks for all the kind words!

 

Not really a fan of most Roti's but they look pretty dope on your xB, any color on white looks good - that red looks great. Looks similar to a color my company uses.

 

DUDE!!! I am dubbing your car the official "Red Velvet" Box... Looks sweet man...

 

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it!

I may lower it more, we'll see. It's quickly becoming fall time here and that means that snow will quickly follow. So these wheels will be coming off soon just to put the TRD's back on for the snow.

 

Holy mother mary of god... That setup FTMFW!!! i love it.

PS where did you get the iScrape sticker.. I needs one!!!

 

A good friend of mine made it for me. I may have another. I can check, and if I do, I'll hook you up with it.

Thanks! I'm happy with it, although I kind of want to get spacers...

 

love the wheels. my budy has a set on his gti in silver.

 

the BLQ's look good on the xB. I've been considering getting the VCE's from Rotiform. How is the ride/noise level with the Achilles tires? I almost bought a set but wasn't sure if I woud be happy with them

 

Looking good like the red. Whats the stock offset on it?

 

...

 

I totally missed this!!! I felt the same way on the way home from the WFC meet since I didn't rub.. I needed some confirmation I was still low!! Well I got it leaving the gas station on wed night!!

Good looking out. (I found one on ebay if not)

 

They seriously went on easy. All I've really done on the front was flip the fender liner from the outside lip of the inside of the fender, to the inside lip of the inside of the fender. If this makes any sense... there's tabs on the inside of the fender, I moved the liner from outside of that to the inside. Takes a little finaggling, but I haven't had a problem.

The Achilles seem pretty decent. Noise level is tolerable. I rarely notice tire noise, unless they're super swampers. I think the Achilles ride better than my Kelly Fierce Instinct ZR's.
I honestly think the car rides better with this setup.

 

they look amazing ♥ 1 up for rotis

 

That freaking amazes me that you don't have tire rub. I mean really.... I went with 225/35's on mine because I was worried about 235/35 or 245/35 rubbing and I'm stock height. WOW! Looks good.

 

Really like the red & white look... So clean!!

"RED VELVET" for sure!!!

 

Hey that looks good
