if you're interested in aftermarket stuff i've got a set of used, i think 5 spoke, advans 17's that i bought from mini-t, but never ended up using cause soon after getting them, i started getting obsessed with 15's. in fact, i'm currently using white minilites 15x6.

the advans are just sitting in my other storage spot in boxes that i'm supposed to give back to mini-t. i'll try to get a pic if you're interested. i'll probably take $650 for 'em.

i've also got white 16x7.5 asa lw5 with 205/50 es100s. but those i think i wanna keep, as they're my back-up set cause i sold the oem s-lites.

aftermarket wheels

You can get some Rota light weight wheels for $500. I can send you some pictures. Interested in some Yokohama tires too.

Do you think the advans 17 " wheel will fit in a Scion XB? My wife decided to place an order so i am thinking to upgrade the wheel as well. Do you have pics? or is it white? I remember seeing a white rims from miniT's cooper. We order the Blue Onyx

nnnoooooooooo!

the xb is 4x100...and you wanna hear something funny? a bunch of xB owners on the mainland are running holies on their xB! So, I figure that with spacers and maybe a little elbow grease...wheels that fit on the MINI will probably fit on the xB.

try check out the scion evolution website: http://www.scionevolution.com they've got a Hawaii section. Marshall who posts as eight08customs is the SE Hawaii Chapter liason. SUPER cool guy, and REALLY good to know if you folks want to go all-out in the Scion world. BTW, if you didn't already know, he sells these custom license plate holders which would mean not having the dealership drill holes in your front bumper. let me know if you're interested. I also got tons of Scion stickers (club and other) that you can run on your wife's car if interested. Let me know!

That's the one that MoH nicked. As for the color, I believe it is a pearlish white with a blue anodized lip.

that's what it is...pearl white with blue anodized lip. plus that blue center cap is removable i believe, as that's what i intended to do, if i ever got around to installing them. but that was before my minilites.

as for $...no, no tires, as i didn't even get a chance to use'em, cause soon after gettting'em, i ordered the minilites.

i'm pretty sure i paid mini-t $700 for 'em. supposedly, they have the updated version out. so, in a way, these are kinda old school, classic, style, i guess...but they are damn lite-weight, which is probably why they're bit pricey.

Thanks Keiki for the info, actually my wife wanted an SUV but downgraded to this xB because of the gas prices plus college tuition stuff, in a way she likes it and economical. The car probably arrive in the mid Dec. the shipment that coming in this month are sold-out so in the mean time shopping for goodies. xB and mini are the same bolt pattern 4 X 100 but offset wise i'm not sure. I've also seen cars with 18" rims infact we drove test an xB with 18" rims on it and the ride is okay.
