Those look very clean and elegant. The center cap gives it just a bit of attitude without detracting from the smooth silky vibe of the no lip one color look. nice.

They look like they were designed for your box bro!

Clean and simple. Basically looks like an OEM wheel that Scion would have released with the xB.

And plz don't paint your drums, unless it's black.

Clean and simple, but look like hubcaps when not up close.

I like my silver drums and calipers which I powdercoated. The red looked awful.

Default New wheels

I wasn't sure what a bigger size wheel would do to the handling of the car. Plus the stock wheels only had 800 miles on them.

You gusy are not going to belieev where I found them and for how much

http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/S... were $80 per.

wifey knows best..
Well, If ur worried about dropping it....DOnt
Tell the wifey that it gives the box more of a car feel..
It does, u dont feel so high and if you would of got different tires it
would made a hella difference..Sometimes I forget Im driving a Box
Okay maybe not but it feels a whole lot better...
If you do I recommend the tanabe df-210s...
There not as low of a drop as everyone makes them out to be and are still a descent ride on stock struts.....This is how high the Xb should of been released, As I still want to go lower....
