I got them from a friend here in Vegas, He has a 1st gen xb. These do not fit on a 2nd gen directly. So adapters are necessary.

Bomber look

 

what tint is the vinyl on those headlights?

 

damn. what kind of adaptions had to be made. I like my old school now, but would kill for some smoothies

 

I wonder if portawalls would work on stretched tires... 16x9 widened steelies with a lower offset would be super dope.

 

So you went from a 5 on 4.5 to the 4 on 100? Nice! How much for the adapters?
Hey Griff, Looking good bro! How r the trim rings? Didn't see them in the pic. Also for the guy that asked if we could put the porta walls on lower profile, They really won't work to well with any smaller than the stock profile and would work better on 70, 75 series.

 

Question to anyone with port-a-walls. How are they holding up. Are they sticking to the sidewall and do they flap around during highway speeds? I've read on other forums that it happens. Or is that due to faulty installs? Thanks!

 

Well they seem to stick pretty good considering the profile is not suggested for them. The biggest problem for me is keeping them bright white! I use scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner and scotchbrite pad and scub them alot.. to much ..like about 45 min for all four wheels and they are looking bright white. I haven't heard how anyone else cleans them. Soap and water doesn't cut it. Other than that they hold up pretty well. I would suggest NOT putting them on unless you are a big cleaner!


Hey Neek! If you ever sell those wheels I want them!!!! Damn I got to get those

 

Awesome job, guys. The old school thing looks great.

 

I haven't had a chance to contact anyboby about either dremmeling it out or taking off the tire pressure nozzel. I'm thinking it be easier to just dremmel it out. I think I might know a guy thta can do it..... also I like my ride now but I have been contiplating going str8 old school rat rod and painting my xB flat black and the wheels red and putting some hot rod pinstripping on it...................what ya think?

 

That would be sick Griff! I just don't have the ***** yet to repaint or primer the box!

 

Waiting for new tires for the sleds.

for now red steelies (86 cents walmart spray can lol). I need white walls for sure

 

I like the red! Now sell me those Sleds...LOL

 

To all of us that run Port-o-walls! I am having trouble mostly with the fronts turning yellowish brown around the outside of the rings. No matter what I do to clean them. I am on my second set working on getting a third. Please let me know if you are having the same problems. Are we all getting them from the same place?

 

+1 there may be a few tC's that want them, even though they might not look as nice as the xb2.

My steelies are currently graphite gray.

Thanks for the right Napa part# 730-2417, FatBoyTrucker. The original xb1 post didn't help me on that.

 

NEEK..... You get any white walls yet.. I'm anxiousot see how the combo looks... before I paint my wheelies red..


Chrislbz: mine get pretty dirty too.. but th ebigger prob i had is the front ones ripping off... both have no wripped off while i was on the highway... and I do mean ripped so that part of the white wall is still stuck between the tire and wheel rim.. I guess thts why they don't recomend them for radials..

 

Oh Snap! I haven't had them rip off yet! I guess it's time to get some real ones... Fun while they last. Griff are you going to keep that look? spider caps and all?

 

about a month old...

since then i had a lot more striping done. more hood work, front & rear bumpers & the sides. also went back to black tires. no new pics though. i wanna do a few more things before i take any new pics....

Bro did you clone my box? Are those real white walls? What kind are they?

 

Yeah seriously...if it only didn't cost almost a grand + $100 to ship em out here..

I'm thinking about once I get my std loans painting it flat black and painting the wheels red... but it looks pretty sick right now so I don't know if I will regret it ya know.. It's not like I can just undo it if i don't like it.. I would still love to be able to put some full moon hubcaps or wheels on em, but I am assuming they still don't exist for Scion XB's.. but I haven't looked into it in a long time..

I hope our look doesn't start to catch on and become the "new thing" for scion XBer's because I quite enjoy being original.

 

Has anyone tried these?
