Default Thoughts on chrome 15"ers with white letter tires on an

I'm thinking about going with chrome 15" wheels and some BFG white letter T/A radials on my BCP. Has anyone seen this type of set up on an xB before cause I have not?

What kind of chrome rim. I think it would look good if done right. Scroll down the thread some and look at Sid's xB. Sort of has the look your going for. IMO that xB looks damn good.

I haven't seen many chrome wheels that I liked on the box.

They are a split 5 spoke chrome rims, Sacchi S12 with BFG radial T/A tires. It would have a classic old school muscle look. This set up is actually 100 bucks cheaper than my Axis racer x set up I was planning.

This thread makes me wish someone made slotmags that would fit under our cars.

I can see the T/As looking good with those wheels. I was considering a set, but I ended up going with the Kumho ASXs. However, I may take a page from Gothbox and paint the letters myself. I suppose I'm too much of a wuss to not get a tire I'm already familiar with...

15X7 ET slots would be sweet in 4X100 with like a 30mm offset.

I'm mostly looking for something different from running my steelies with caps or my 18" TRDs. They won't be used all the time but it will be nice to have a set of bling blings for those shows were most of the other vehicles are classics..

Sadly, while looking into this issue, I found that American Racing makes 4 lug 15"x7" slotmags, but only down to 4x4.25" and 4x4.5" (114.3mm), with zero offset. Zero offset wheels make for goofy fitment as it is-- throwing adapters in would be hell on bearings, and the tires wouldn't even be under the car anymore.

@bB2ner: Of course, I clicked post before I said so, but I specifically got Moon discs because of the vintage-rod look. The invoices from Mooneyes even say, "For all your rodding needs."

This sort of stuff is why I love the xB: there's very little that you can do wrong with it. Now that I've said that much, someone will post a donked one rolling on 28s.

Here is the wheel I'm highly considering to go with along with the 195/60R15 BFG white letter tires.

wheels looks good but I would say ng on the white lettering because white lettering is a retro look and that is not a retro wheels..but a nice wheel none the less
