Default My new Scion

Hi Guys I just got a 2011 Scion XD Super White, and im looking for Mods to do on him (its a DUDE, lol). Anyways, im only looking for exterior and interior mods, nothing on performance, other than suspension. I have no idea what to do, or where to look. I was hoping you could give me some ideas.

Right now im looking to buy some rims, but im not sure. OK im a computer geek, not much of a car savy...so you get an idea on my backgroud. I thought buying rims was just: "ohh look at those rims, i want those" but now i understand that i have to look for weight and stuff. So what would be a nice Dimenssion for the car 17" or 18", and what would be the weight i should be looking to if im not going to do any mod on the performance of the engine, i want to mantain the gas millage on the economic side.

PLEASE HELP!!.

I have the black TRD 5 spokes and love them. You can get them at very reasonable prices used. Ya just gotta look around on forums/ebay/craigslist to find them.

I'm on 17" Enkei Evo 5 spoke wheels and they were relatively lightweight (18.5lbs w/out tire), and I got them really cheap. Unfortunately they are wider and did lower my mileage by around 2-3 mpg.

I think 5 spoke wheels look nice on our cars and they are easy to clean too:

I vote you keep those rims, at least until the stock tires are worn out. The stereo would be a far more enjoyable upgrade, the stock system just sucks in my opinion. I'm about to do a complete overhaul on the audio, hopefully get a good weekend to do everything soon otherwise I'll wait until Thanksgiving break and take my time with it between all the rain. Will post it up the the ICE section when I get to it.
