Default Factory 17" Anyone got em?

I would like to see some pictures of any xB2's rollin on the Scion 17"s. Also, does anyone know what color they are? The pictures show them as more of a gunmetal color. My local dealer doesn't have any on display. Thanks!

Yeah, I got them. Oh yeah, one other thing, I havent seen anybody post on this as far as upgrading factory wheels, when you do, ask for your originals back. you already paid for them, they are entitled to give them to ya... on that note.

Glenns Toyota in Frankfort, KY actually OFFERED them to me before I asked about them. It may help that I'm a Toyota employee. Worked with Paul Edwards. I will definately do biz with them again.

Here are some pics.

Yeah, I like the color and style. I'm not a big fan of chrome rims on newer cars. Gunmetal is definitely the new chrome. (For me anyway.) I think I'll definately get the 17"s when I get some coin. Haven't seen many xBs with the factory 16"s or 17"s. I like factory style better then a lot of aftermarket stuff TBH

Yeah, At first I was a bit apprehensive. But there was a Scion TC sitting in the showroom that had pretty much the same 17's on it. Gunmetal is definately hot and definately works well with all of the scion xb colors. Chromies are starting to look a little fake to me... almost plasticy. It's prollyjust me though.

The wheels are hot looking but the price package on those are off the wall.
We got 2 on the lot with those 17 inchers.

I can get chrome, name brand, 20's for $25 more...

But I still dig these. Just not large enough for me. I'm still looking into Tenzo R DC-5's.

Hmm, Im not sure if Sparks comes with the tires though. So be careful on that. I will find the the offset for you.

Roads around here are really really crappy. (I live somewhat in the country where when it snows 1 inch, they have to plow it and destroy the asphalt. So I can't really go with much larger. I rode in one with 18's and it was just not as soft a ride. Though admittedly, looked good.

Definitely no tires, but each wheel includes a lock and lug nuts.

I got them for $225 with tires AND made them throw in the wheel locks. Right now, It's definately a buyers market It's a lot easier to get dealers to throw in the extras.

Just wondering if anyone was able to get the specs on the 17" factory upgrade wheels? Does anyone know what tires (manufacture, model, and size) come with the dealer package? Would be nice to have these specs for some comparisons. Thanks.
