I know 215/50/17 fit. (that's what I have) Interested to see if 215/55/17's rub. If not, I will move up to that size on my next set. Let us know. I love the look of the Infinity wheels. 7 spokes always look best!

After receiving my hub centric rings on Monday, I was able to install them successfully. The rings totally did the trick and there are no negative affects after installing the rims at all. I've gone over 80mph and the car rides perfectly.

Don't worry Del Taco. I'm going to fly in my photographer once I have an open spot on my calendar.

Almost forgot, what do you guys think I should do about these center caps? I was going to custom hack the originals and somehow put the "Scion" emblem from the hubcaps on there or put these on (chrome blanks + TRD emblem).

The stock Infiniti center caps have a raised emblem that would require me to mill them down a bit so that's why I ended up buying the chrome blanks from Ebay ($40.. ouch). Or, I could color match the chrome blank ones to the rim? Or, I could put the "Scion" emblem on the blanks? I dunno....

Mock one up with some tape without ruining your TRS emblems, see how it looks.

I just installed my HIDs and DF210s today... the car looks good. I'll take pics when it stops raining in Cali. On that note, I am pleasantly surprised how nice the DF210s are... It's kind of weird seeing the roof of my car now when I walk up to it, but I'm sure I can get used to it....

Well, here's the belated pictures I took a long time ago. It seems like these will be the only pics I'll have of the rims because I'm currently selling them because I need to recoup the money I spent on a new 60" DLP I bought for my living room. Anyways, here's the pics I promised.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I'm selling the entire setup to any XB2 owner for only $500 in Bay Area, CA. This includes the custom TRD center caps and hub centric rings to make it fit perfectly. There is a lot of tread on these tires, have zero curb rash, and each rims is at least 9.5 out of 10.







FOR SALE! $500 in the Bay Area, CA
17x7 all the way around wrapped in 215/55/17
et +33
hub centric rings included (60.1 - 66.1)
Custom TRD center caps included

The rims aren't exactly OEM. Ray Engineering (Volk) makes the rims for Infiniti and a lot of other companies as well as a lot of aftermarket rims too.

It looks nice in the xB. How hard was it to get the hub centric rings?

I'm glad you think so too because they did look pretty sweet. These poor pictures really don't do them justice. I had absolutely no problem with them at all and they were practically in mint condition. That being said, I love my home theater system. I have a 60" Sony DLP, Yamaha receiver, PS3, Wii, and Onix Rocket speakers (Rocket 450s and Bigfoot).

If you saw my mini Home Theater, you would understand!!!

Not too bad. You just have to figure out the inner and outer bores. The inner bore for the 08 XB is 60.1mm. Travis, from Discount Tires, told me the bore for the g35 rim was 66.1, so I basically searched for hub centric rings that fit that description and found them. The hub centric rings cost me about $50 shipped, but were well worth it since I had no issues whatsoever while I was using these rims.

I'm actually looking at purchasing some Infiniti M35 Sport wheels for my xB2... there's a guy here that has a set.

I think I'll have to swap out tires, though...

If you need towers built that will sound really good for your HT, I suggest hitting up www.hexibase.com. I have a set of blueprints for towers if you want them, too bro!

I didn't know hexibase did home audio stuff too... hmm. Back in the day, I had him design me a slot ported box for my 12" sub a long time ago. Anyways, here's what my Rockets look like... I love them.
