Hi I just bought a black 2008 xB and want to give it an old school classic/hot rod look by putting some white walls and smoothie or baby moon hubcaps on it. But I am having a rather difficult time finding a place to get these,..

thanks for the suggestions. I actually tried hubcap mike already funny enough and apparantly the 16 in full moon hubcap that can fit on the HHR and PT for some odd reason can't fitt on the xB's 16 in wheels.. neither can any of the other vintage hubcaps go figure The guy " Mike" was actually not very helpful and quite rude when I asked a few questions.......... So I might just powder coat the wheels red and put some 16" Smooth Trim Rings and spider covers on it w/ the white walls af course which I might thing I have found... hopefullly thoughts?

I've thought about doing that, but coating the wheels a satin black instead of red. The spyder covers and trim rings with a white wall would look pretty decent if that's the look you're going for.

That looks sick, thanks. where did you get the white walls at? Re they real white walls or white wall toppers? anyone know how white wall toppers look as a cheaper alternative?

Which old school rims did you go with?

He shall hook you up! Love your look, I thought about it. How much and what kind are the tires?
Heres mine...But thinking of some gold 18s for the show circuit

just got my port-a-walls put on my tires last night.. Looks pretty sick.. l might stick with the balck instead of powder coating red. Got spyder caps and trim rings coming in today. will post pics soon.

Anybody know how well the port-a-walls work with radial tires..It looks good but don't know if it will last. I have heard bad things. but I don't feel like dropping the $800 + shipping for the real thing.

I got it all done. Lookin sick. How do I post a pic up here?

Chrislbz

I'll post a pic of the wheels with trim rings, lugs and custom chrome Napa dust caps after work tonight. The rims are still out getting painted. The suspense is killing me

griff81

well here ya go.till trying ot find a way to get the trim rings on. The hoel cut out for the air valve isn't big enough so they won't fit all the way. Not the best quality cause it's from my phone
