Of course, I can't afford a new set of wheels right now, so I'm going with whatever I can do with less than $100.

I've seen people going with just the stock steels then as my poll says, there's lots you can do with them.

I have an 05 xB (black cherry), with blue neons under.

 

do what you like!

 

Yea, dude, anything goes.

I've rolled A,B & C
If I were you, I'd drop a coat of wax on the steelies and do rings and lugs. It looks decent at a stop, and when the wheel's in motion, it looks really good.

I'm rolling on painted caps right now (winter) I'd do rings again, but I'm too lazy to order a new set... HA!

 

either B or C......

 

i voted: Stock steelies with chrome rings & caps

 

Good to see that I voted for what seems to be the winning combo... lol

 

chrome rings

 

x 2...ha ha seemed the best choice.

 

Sorry to bring up a dead topic...but I figured since I started it, why not!?

I found a place I can get 4 of the Chrome (color coated) on ABS plastic trim rings for $23. Compared to the steel rings at $60. I'm trying to go inexpensive right now, since I do want to get new wheels/tires at the start of next school semsester. Do you think those would hold up? For a year at max? Also, I had my hubcaps off the other day, and the wheels look a bit ugly. Hah, from the hubcaps rubbing when placed on the wheel, it looks like the paint is faded/worn. Should I have them repainted? Repaint myself? Or just wax/shine?

Where can I get the caps for the center? One of mine is a bit rusted, so I definitely want to get it covered.

Thanks!

 

Save your money and get the stainless ones. You'll be way happier. Check ebay for stainless ones, I got my set for 20 bucks shipped.

 

just roll on anything you like thats what makes your car different than everyone else's

 

So I won these stainless steel trim rings: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...257392062&rd=1 but now I want to get the caps for the center, and I'll replace the lugnuts later, possibly. Where can I find center caps for my car? Could someone post a link to center caps for me?

Thanks!

 

Here is a link with all your questions answered. Happy reading...

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for!

 

NP, it should have all the part numbers, where and whats needed to whip those steelies into shape for the summer.
Here is a pic of mine for inspiration.

 

painted steelies!

 

Exactly right. The steelies would look way better painted silver before the rings,caps and chrome lugs are added.

 

Personally, I think painted steelies is a great, cost affective way to spice up your ride. For us xA/xB owners, sticking with a 15" size is also great. My future set up will be a 2-tone painted steelie w/ winter tire (possibly could incorperate the Full Moon alum. hub caps as well). My summer wheel will be a super-lightweight 15" alloy, with a good summer tire(BFG, Yoko S-drive... something along this level).

 

So I now have the Stainless Steel trim rings, center cap, lugs, and the valve caps too. It looks great, but now I need to paint the steelies black again, because they're looking old. But besides that, the xB looks AMAZING!
