Talking New Shoes for the Toaster

Well if my deal goes through with this guy, I'll be sporting these on my box:







They are UK made Revolution RFX 15x8 wheels that weigh in just under 16lbs each (w/o tire). Getting a great deal on these, and I couldn't pass it up.

My next dilema is what to paint/powdercoat the center section. I'm probably going to keep them silver for a while, but I'm betting the bright silver won't look right against my dark paint. Thinking maybe satin black or perhaps the "hyper black" powdercoat that almost looks like jethot coating. Either way, it will wait until I throw a set of HKS or Tein coilovers.

They'll be going on this car:

They look cool, but IMO 16"s would be better. But since you dont know someone who is selling 16"s, then go for it

Thats what I was thinking about when looking around for wheels. But I actually like the beefy 15" tires on the xB for some reason, particuarly since larger diameter wheels are so popular on the box. I think it will look real nice dropped a little bit with some negative camber dialed in. Thinking perhaps of getting a skinnier tire and finding someone to stretch them onto the rim (JDM/VIP style).

Lol yeah, those squeezed tires are the new REAL JDM shit. Waiting for EVERYONE over here to start now.

Yeah, it does look good with a bigish/regular sized tire though. Good lucky on whatever. Not many rims (unless if they look like butt) look bad on xBs
