The Trd wheels are great. I'm on my second set. The car handles great it comes with the Perelli zero. Good traction. Definablywould recommend.

The 18"s really aren't that heavy, not sure on the exact weight, though... several people are buying them, and they're great rims... if you buy them with your xB you'll get the same 3/36k warranty that comes with the car... and they're coming with the Pirelli P-Zero tire, which is a great tire, but seems to wear kind of fast... Just not sure if the P-Zero is the Rosso, Nero, or Corsa models... anybody else know?

I do not think they can be found this cheap, I went online looking and some local places and all seem to be about $1499 for the set which is not much less than the TRD's, I did find a place in PA that had the TRD 18's for $1375 + shipping but that would most likely put you over $1499 anyway.

You mean the logo and centercap aren't worth $500?
The tires with the TRD package are much better than the junk you get with the 1099 packages though. Actually savings after upgrading to real tires is probably more like $200.

i found a website (forgot it, i will post it if i remember) that has the Racing Hart 17" GT-5 wheels with tires (which are the same as the TRD rims, just no "TRD" label) for $1000. I would rather buy 17's then 18's. with 18's, little rougher ride and tires will be more expensive.
