OK, Ok, OK.. So the 002's rub, and don't really fit right with out suspention mods. Im picking up an xB for a daily driver , So I don't want to drop it. But I Do want an oldschool looking rim, What do you suggest?


Im getting ready to Join the xB lifestyle. Im looking into a Blue 05 xB. I wanna get a set of rims right off. Im A fan of the oldschool look. Therefore I'd like to see a set of Sportmax 501, 002 or the 962. perferable on a blue xB and with the 002 because thats what Im leaning towards. thanks

 

It ain't blue, but they are 962s. 17x7 on NF210s.

 

Sweet!, thanks man. Whats the ride like on those NF210's?

its not blue but its the 002 and and im droped on df210's. all i had to do it roll my fenders and i dont rub.

 

The ride is better than factory, but I don't know if it is low enough.

 

See thats what Im talking about! Are those BBist.com Flares>? Thats what Im going to have to do. Also If I might ask, What size/type tire are you running?

And Lastly Who has the best price on the NF210's? thanks

^ You know that he's dropped on DFs... those are the lowest springs out there, I thought you didn't wanna drop it?

Also, the ride doesn't suffer much when you drop it. Some find it to be better. So you really should lower it, it looks way better.

 

OK so these aren't any of the rims you listed but another old-school looking wheel are the Drag DR-20s or Work Equip 03 or Maxxim Screech or Zero Racing E3. They all look the same but the Drag's are nice and inexpensive.
Anyways, here's my 06.5 on 15x7 DR-20's, dropped on S-Techs with Monroe in the rear and 5mm spacers up front and 10mm in the back.

Let's see if I can figure out how to upload pictures ;P

 

Yes those are the bbist flares, Tires are a 195/50/15, If you get the 002's then you need to be dropped 2" or it will look funny

 

too bad you can't lower a car with 002's on em.

and by lower i mean a REAL drop.

 

imo take the time and spend the money to get some real old school rims. they never go out of style and you stand out and can't be copied. good resources are hondatech forums and vwvortex. the have a lot of wheels in 4x100 for sale

 

cool

 

any true side shots of this. how flush do these sit with/without spacers? im thinkin of gettin these myself but i am just not to excited about them only being a 15x7. wish they were a 15x8

 

Here is a pic I have of a box on 002's and a "Real" drop. This is Obnoxious xb. If I remember right Progress coils with camber.. I have more pics if your interested.

 

here is my example of 501's 15X8 on 195/50's at factory ride height.



yes i know it has to be dropped. coming soon!!!!

 

oh and OTG 10mm spacer in the rear

 

hey im tring to get ridd of mine soon

 

^^^^^^what size are those?
