Was talking to a friend about rims and what not ...

noticed you dont see many 15s rolling around here ...


whos got em .. what drop are you running .. what size tires ...

post pics if you got em

thanx

 

are u talking about the tC or xB? if ur talking about the xB... y dont u post this in the xB section?

 

i am talking about the xb

and i posted this in the WHEELS forum .. which is exactly what this is .. a WHEELS post...

i figure more people will view it here and this is where it should be ... im sure some TC people like the xb and prolly have some pics of them as well

so everyone can contribute if they like

 

hmm 15" kinda small? I would go with something bigger. :D

 

yeah i agree - im just curious to see what it looks like.. i mean i think 17-18" is perfect .. but im sure some people like the smaller wheels...

im wondering .. can it be pulled off and still look hot

 

I have tein s-techs (lower 1.7") and 15" gunmetal motegi mr-7 wheels.

 

Here is a Nor*Cal member's ride on Work 15" wheels with Tein Coilovers:



This is bBTed on the boards.

 

15s dont look half bad ... thanx for the pics guys .. keep em coming

 

i like the 15's on your car dood....good visual...

go bigger honestly, smaller the rims the thicker the tire. And to me that looks plain ugly.

 

I have Pacer rims and Kumo P195/60R15's. I drive up to 250 miles a day and just didn't like the ride you get from the 18 and 19 inch rims. I think the combination I have actually made for a better riding and handling car. [/img]

 

well thats for sure! haha I think im going to keep my stock rims. I thought about changing them out before I got my tC. But now they look hot in person!

 

I saw BLeek's camo xB the other day. IIRC, he's running tein s-tech springs (-1.7 in.) and has the OEM wheels/hubcaps/tires on for the winter. It looked much better than with stock ride height.

I think a nice set of 15s would be fine...lowering the car an inch or two makes all the visual difference in the world!!! Increased rim diameter is just icing on the cake.

 

this is mine about a year ago. 195/55/15? i think.

 

goldline springs, 15x6.5 inch rims, 205/50/15 tires:

 

I think these are the 15" revolutions on Dunlops that Mac'N Cheese (?) was running and then selling late last year for the smokin' deal of $700: https://www.scionlife.com/xb/wp3_800.jpg (Apologies if I'm wrong; they look similar). Anyway, deep dish 15s are sweet looking if you ask me. I had 17s on 215/45s, but they rubbed occassionally. Also, bigger is heavier. Now that I am back on stock 15s I get the occasional second gear chirp. Reason enuf to stay small. Better ride, too. But I agree that no matter what size, a drop helps tons in the looks dept.

 

I had 17's w/ a 45 side wall, lowered on tanabe df210's (2 inch drop) and the ride was horrible, handleing suffered and acceleration was diminished. I went to a 15 w/ a 50 sidewall and I love it! I think coil overs would improve the looks a bit, but other than that I am very happy. Ipersonnally think that my car looked better w/ 17's but the ride was just too much to take every day.

 

Decided to keep 'em.

NICE! This is the best lookin' wheel setup I have seen yet on an xB, and one of the best on any car, period. It's pretty much perfect IMO. (In otherwords, lemme know if you ever decide to sell again...)
