Default Non-"Twist" alloy wheel option??

I never saw these standard optional wheels before. I thought the 14 spoke "Twist" were the only real Scion alloys. Any comments?

Come to think of it..."twist" would look weird on an XA.
Thanks.

I've also heard that shortly there will be 2 factory alloy options for the xA and 2 others for the xB

Default Euro alloys

I have also seen 15x6 European market alloys (5 spoke)
or at least so they were advertised at the dealership I saw them at.

I actually think I like them better than 17"s as I like the softer ride vs lo pros on a 17 rim.

I really like this wheels. I also think these look better on the xB than the twist ones.
But I think the twisties might look kina cool on the xA Someone should try it out!

Photochop?

Ok, hold up, hold up, hold up! What is all of this talk of the European market?! There are no Scion branded products in Europe right?!?! It's a US only thing right?! What's going on?!

not according to cabe

they say they fit the stock tires and are 15x6

I think they are Eurospec Toyota rims from the bB.

I like em the most of any rim i've seen, remind me somehow of the old porsche alloys
from a 911 or an old 914.
They are too pricey however. if they were 399 i'd spring on it, 499 maybe, but 599 and no tires, not for me

"16 alloy wheels"

I know when you click it, that page says otherwise--so who knows, certainly not their webmaster.

I was about to drive my xB home from the dealer, and I just asked if there were any other wheel options available... Next thing I knew, I had 18's on my xB... They look like the ones that are on the Hot Lava in every pic I have seen of it
