| OEM Rims
Hi,
Does anyone know how to tell if OEM rims for our XB are in fact real OEM rims? Like is there a stamp or something that is supposed to show that the rims are in fact from the dealer? Im looking to get a set of oem rims and just want to make sure they are OEM and not replicas. Thanks so much for the help. |

I'm on the east coast, NYC. Does the back of your rims have any toyota/scion stamps in them? How can you tell they are OEM? Thanks | |

Are you talking about the steelies with hubcaps? If so a steel rim is a steel rim. | |

They are just cheap Enkei wheels so there is no Toyota Scion stamping on them. What are they asking for them? We can tell you if that is a good price. Also are tires included in the price or is it rims only? If tires are included what size and make? | |

X2! I had brand new steelies coming out my ears for awhile! My brother was throwing them away back when the gen 1's were still new and they were putting on different wheels at his dealership. Now i think they are tossing the gen 2 wheels! | |

The seller is asking for $300 shipped to anywhere in the USA. The rims are brand new they said. comes with lugnuts and valves. Is that a good deal? Quote:

Sorry forgot to mention it is just for the rims, no tires. I will be reusing my tires on my steel rims now. Thanks

well like i said - from the dealer - they are 166/wheel so that's 664 bucks and you're having the shipped for less than half - that's not bad - you can get xxr's for about the same price and they are cooler IMO | |

Yeah, definately go with some XXR +15 offset over the steelies or oem alloys. Unless they are for winter only of course. | |

Are the OEM wheels prone to defects? I went in for an alignment and they told me a had a bent rim! | |
