Default Red xB's and rims...

What rims are on your red xB's? I have a salsa red xB and was wondering how the red sportmax rims would look on my car.

I've searched but couldn't find any pics. I figured someone had a photochopped pic. I'm wondering if I should get the sportsmax rims and get them painted at a body shop to color match my salsa red (the rims look a little too red) or just go with black or chrome rims.

Any help is appreciated. :D

i don't have a "Red" xB, but mine is BCP, which is listed as RED by Toyota.

i have the TRD wheels, which are silver.

my personal opinion about red cars and wheels is that the only ones that look good are:

silver/gunmetal
black
gold/bronze
white

almost never do you want to match wheel color with body color. only works on black or white for me.

I agree, but this is a definite exception:

That looks good.

I'm trying to imagine a red xB with red rims w/chrome lips.

that does look good, esp. with the staggered setup.

i dunno, when you get into colored wheels besides the traditional colors, be ready for some flak from people on public roads .

if you have a Salsa, you should get the gold 002's.

I know it's a spitter, but is it custom? If not, where did it come from?

-My guess is heaven.

sweetness! nice shots. truth - my current desktop is you, at night on the freeway rollin'. looks like I have a new desktop.

Zach, you and Eric (thundergod) were a big help on my 002's. I love these rims. I almost went w/ the 962's, but I had to have the sporty look. major thanks to you.

I think you should do what ever you want, I personally like colormatched wheels especially if they are 18's or bigger with a bit of stagger.
Also thanks guys for all of the compliments on the envy green wheels
