I got them mounted up yesterday. I was going to go with new tires but the Goodyears had too much tread on them (sill like new with under 7K). I was worried causr 7 inch wide rims are the max you are suppossed to stretch this size tire. They actually look fine on the rims. Here is 2 of the first pics taken with them on the bB tribute.

I know the wheelgap is huge. New springs are on their way from Tein.

 

3" lift?????
LOL nice wheels Jeff
good choice

 

I'm not big on chrome, but it doesn't look too bad.

 

Not bad...

 

Looks good. Time to lower it more though. Check out scispeed.com if your looking for a suspension setup ;)

 

Thanks guys. I knew you would dog me on the wheel gap of the stock springs but it rides so freakin smooth. I have some mild H Techs on the way tho.
Wasn't sure about the chrome but I had to try it out for a change.

 

Nice wheels. I like the chrome-- it's nice to see tasteful, sensible chrome wheels, as opposed to ugly-___ dubs.

It's weird to see a stock-height xB on here, isn't it?

 

Thanks Paul, sensible was my target. I wanted something that looked nice and lightweight for fuel savings. These wheels weigh about 16lbs.
I used to have Hotchkis springs that sagged down to almost 2 inches of drop and I hated them. I'm starting over with the h techs mostly so I can get the floor jack under it without the use of 2X4s.
I'm hoping the springs show up by fri. so I can thro them on and get more pics.
Here are more pics I shot earlier today.

 

I use a lwo profile floor jack to get under my coil overs...over 3" drop

 

im blind right now by looking at them pictures. rims are sparkling. not a bad look though

 

You need s techs for sure of you will still have wheel gap like no other

 

The H Techs are now here and I'm fixen to throw them on in a few minutes. Will post up some more pics after they are on.
I am not worried about a little wheel gap. That is why I chose the H Techs. I had Hotchkis springs already and got tired of sitting that low.

 

im rolling tanabe df210 springs.... gave me a sick drop and a mooth ride..

 

in the future I would go with a slightly lower profile and maybe wider tire just to bring out the beauty of the wheel, something about that big sidewall just takes away from the wheel BUT IT LOOKS GOOD oh yeah BCP FTW!!!

 

Yeah, I know. I cheaped out. I wanted to use up the Goodyears and not buy a 3rd set of tires. I used those funds to buy my h techs instead. I wanted to go with 205/50r15 tires and still will later when I get some more money saved up. I kinda like the mild stretch I have right now and it does ride oh so smooth.
Never realized how good Chrome wheels look on BCP. Wish I had done this long time ago.
BCP def. FTW!

 

personally im not a huge fan of chrome but this looks good. i like the design.

 

Thanks, I like it even more now with the mild drop.

 

I just realized I never updated this thread with pics of it now with the H Tech on it. Here are a few pics. I absolutely love the way it rides on 15s and the H Techs.
Thanks for all the comments too, BTW!

 

much better with the H techs.

 

BLING! Looks way better with the drop; good job.
