If you want rally style, I would definitely vote for the CR-Kai over the RS. The RS is much more of a Euro-sport style IMO.

honestly im leaning more towards the bbs rs rims just cuz i rarely see them on a scion, and i like the way they look, plus i would prolly paint them burgundy, but if i were to get the CR-KAI i would get them in bronze and get red extended lug nuts

You do realize the 18" BBS Rs wheels are so ridiculously rare that they sell from 5K to 7K a set, right? Just go with 17" Rs wheels or BMW Style 5s. I actually have both. Or if you want 18s, try to score some 18" BBS Style 5s and redrill them.

There are a ton of rare wheels sites. I like Wheelwhore personally. This is wasnt an option, but Id say 18" OZ Futuras.

Here are some BBS Super RS's

And if you just want to browse.

Gotta check craigslist too, I hate looking for wheels on craigslist because all of the local shops clutter it selling all their fake wheels -__-
Nothin wrong wit fake wheels but it's seriously cluttered. Go to craigs las vegas and type 5 x114 you'll see.

Good luck trying to find some bbs' Marshall has the type 5s the black and yellow xb2 on air, they were 17x8 and omg they were nice!

Here's another good site for used high-end wheels that most other xB2 owners are less likely have, if for no other reason than they aren't willing to spend the coin.
