I like them too. Did you get them from Edge Racing? That is the only place I have seen Flix wheels.

Great look. But now you have to go all the way--black out those caps, valve stems, and side marker lights.

Go into... STEALTH MODE

Now that you have had the wheels on for awhile with those 40 series tires, how is the ride? I just bought a Whtie box and I am waiting for Edge to get those wheels in stock so I can buy them too. I think they are the most sexy wheels I have seen on the xB yet. Please let me know thank you.

The ride is actually pretty decent. The car rides a little firmer then stock, but it bounces around a lot less and seems more agile. I'm very happy with the tires grip and they have worn very little. I've actually had several people at stop lights ask me about the rims and it gets a lot of double takes. After a summer of driving and about 8k miles the rims still look brand new. I'm currently running on the stock tires and rims until the spring or the local potholes get fixed

Awesome, I plan on putting on the TRD drop springs and shocks with those wheels so I am hoping the ride will be good for me also. Thank you for the response.

Well a slight update. I ended up getting them in Titanium due to discontinuing the black ones. I have had them on for at least 3 weeks and I love them. I also bought the Eibach Pro Kit instead of TRD's just haven't put them on yet. I am still in debate on which shocks to get. Either way I have to agree these wheels look and ride nice.
