We are on the same boat. I want some wheels for my xb but i don't like any of the wheels Toyota dealer have.

stealerships are very pricey. and if you want unique wheels you gotta pay to play. it depends on your budget also. wheels that looks good and doesnt burn a hole in your wallet. there are a lot of sites you can do a reasearch on. just make sure its a reputable name so you wont get ripped off. but if you want simplicity? get rid of the hubs, paint your steelies to your liking and slap on some chrome trim rings. good luck.

Im going to repost this, because you need to realize how SICK these wheels are.

FS:SoCal/gen2/WALD DUCHATELET D23 Multipiece (3 piece) with tires

These are SUPER high quality rims. They are made by Wald. They would fit sick and turn TONS of heads.

I posted a thread a few weeks ago asking for some sites for some unique wheels, I got some good suggestions but Nothing beats the deal I found at Home - Discount Tire Direct I found some 16 Enkeis there for $465 out the door price with free shipping. They have great looking wheels and good prices too, alot of stuff on sale if you look in the right places. Also, try Wheel and Tire Packages | Wheels Discount Rims Custom wheels, Truck rims, Car rims, Rim and Tire Packages, cheap wheels, rims Found some awesome lookin stuff there.

Tell me what you guys think of my newest purchase...
