Default NEED Chrome Smoothies for xB. Please HELP.

Need help finding someone who has a full set of Custom Smoothies for a xB. Problem is the wheels are a four lug. Need to find a set of 4 lugs and a 15" rim.

Default ....Hubcap Mike's Smoothie caps may not fit....

My first mod was Hubcap Mike's 15 inch Smoothie hubcap.
They did not fit. The circular ridge around the lug nuts was too tall, the caps would not go all the way on.
The north side would go in and the south side would pop out. Same with east and west.
Mike had a Scion xB and tried it in his Box, same result.
So, I ended up with Racing disks instead.
Mike refunded me my shipping costs when he saw that these caps do not fit our wheels.

For true smoothies you should try a hotrod wheel maker like wheel vintiques. They carry some in a 5-100 lug patern. You'l have to see if they can make a set with our 4-100 bolt circle Here is a link to them

Of course there are the Japanese Work LeadSled wheels...

Those were the best looking wheels I've ever seen on an xB, and one of the guys here on SL (jasonlm429) was selling the set in the pic below a little while back for a very good price...

As of yet neither Wheel Vintiques, or any other steel wheel manufacturer makes any type of "smoothie" to fit a 4x100 pattern. So if you want a true smoothie you have to go aluminum. Best bets are the two mentioned here. Either the Work Leadsled or the Intro Smoothie. The Intro may be more expensive, but you have WAY MORE fitment options.
