Default Waiting for my new xB Hot Lava and need help on wheels

Have a new xb on the way and it is coming with 17" enkei's, Im worried about ride. Will the ride get worse if I go with 18" enkei's instead? and Should I go with TRD wheels instead 18" or 19"'s?

Default What does that exactly mean?

I searched out here every one is looking to lower or use aftermarket rims. I want to know from someone who might have these rims what they think.

if I were you, I would stick with the enkei's. There will be a lot of Hot Lava's with the TRD's on them. If you are trying to have your own style, then do your own thing. Post some pics when it's done.

Thanks for the input, if looking for ride, would you go with 17" or 18"?

18" wheels can be pretty rough riding. If you go with 18" wheels, go with 215/40/18 tires. A lot of people with the 35 series tires are not liking the ride. If you go with 17" wheels, the ride is better with 215/45/17's. 17" can look small with wheels with a large lip. 17's seem to look larger with flush wheel designs. Just my $0.02.
