Default Wheels for xA

Anyone got after market wheels on xA? I am looking for one now, but cannot decide which one. I believe that wheels with 33mm offset looks good (In Japan, TRD SPorts T3 wheels are option on xA and it has 33mm offset). The problem is that it is difficult to find wheels with 33mm offset in North America. Anyone has wheels with 35mm offset or 40mm offset? Can I see PIX to see how it looks? OEM 185/60-15 are mounted too inwards and xA looks strange from the back. It looks as if it is running on bicycle tires.

smilygo: did you go to the norcal cruise/meet today? If so, I had brought some of the +25mm offset wheels with me to show people. Did you get a chance to see them? It's good that you are wanting to go with lower offset wheels for your car because they really WILL make your car look good. It's not about going as big in diameter as possible, it's all about filling up the wheelwell, and getting the right flushness...makes your car look lower and wider at the same time too! Anyway, as the market demands better quality wheels in "better" offsets (the renewed interest in rwd cars will help also), the manufacturers eventually will answer by providing them.

Default Any recommendation on wheel/tire stores in East Bay

Hey, people who live in SF Bay Area, do you guys purchase wheels/tires through On-line? If not, can you recommend me an wheel/tire stores in East Bay? Hopefylly, Hayward, Union City and Fremont area. I went to Motor something store in Fremont today and was told I shouldn't worry about offset. Well, I want to talk with people who know about my concerns and needs.
