Ok, blow 1500 on rims that serve no purpose other then they look good or 400 on something that looks the same...i guess it must be nice to ____ away money.

Well, if you wanted a 4-spoke, you could go with the Rota Auto-X, but yeah, Sportmax 002s look quite awesome on an xB, aren't ridiculously priced, and have that cool zero offset.

^^ Thats true but not for all. Basically get what you can afford. Rota makes some quality wheels even though they are knock offs.

Ok how about this, the rims don't bend on a pot hole and you know thats far fetched...but they also are not rated for auto crossing either. Since the xb is basically a rolling rice mobile I don't see that ever coming into play....play to pay...man go buy a benz then say you play anything. Because right now your driving a 14k non luxary veichle.

i wasnt trying to act like the xb is a benz.... never did i say the xb was a ricy piece of crap, i was just reccomending spending the extra money to make your mind at rest. knockoffs have a reputation for failure. i have personally see rotas crack and cause a blowout. alot rides on your rims... yourself, friends, family, girfriends, wives, not to mention other drivers on the road. i do not sell wheels. i am not encouraging you to buy any particular product, nor am i saying saving money is a bad idea. i have works on my ride and i was able to afford them because i found them used. imo it was money well spent. im trying to help you, take it easy
