It's based on the percentage of posts you have in relation to the average number of posts the top 5 have or something like that. To give you an idea.. I'm #14 on the "too many damn posts" lists and my bar is only 75% full even with over 2K posts that haven't been deleted. The only way to get it full is to be in the top 5, with like 4K (undeleted) posts.

Well I'm still confuzzled about rim size/choice.

Thinking about the bBist wheel (18x7.5, 18x8.5) or
forged Racing Hart's, 15inch.

Here's a pic of my friend's xB with the RH's. Reason why I'm iffy is the price.
He offered me $1,200 for the rims/tires, but that's pretty pricey.
And the bBist wheel is $800 altogether, + tires.

Help!
I just want that 'JDM'ish look, but don't want any rubbing probs since I have TEIN S-Techs.

arent you guys glad i started this thread

ill give you my insight to big vs small wheels

i recently was rolling motegi ff7 in 18" with a 215 40 18 tire

a few things i liked about the setup

pimp looking
absolitely 0 wheel gap

things i didnt like

harsher ride
made the car not look as slammed as it does on 15s
slower acceleration from the added weight

im back on 15s again .. im using the 6 spoke xA rims i got from back in black xA and the ride is like a dream

im def sticking with 15s .. im dropped on goldlines and with 15s .. even with stock tires.. the car looks SLAMMED

i still do like the tuck look that the 18s give


here is a pic of the wheels im rocking now - ill get a pic of em on the box once the rain stops

here is the pic of my xb on goldlines dropped on 15" scion alloys from the xA

its raining out and the cars dirty but i figured id toss the pic in anyways (if the car looks off .. its cause its going uphill .. u can see if u look at the wall behind it lol)

Anybody want to buy some 18's?

2tone_xB

Yeah, I love that slammed look as well.
But of course I love that big rim look.

Overall, yeah maybe 15's will be better since my parential unit's will be driving my xB sometimes.

Plus I can imagine trying to do a U-Turn on TEIN's and 18's.

I'll try to save up $800 and see if he'll take that offer for the forged RH's.

Haha, I was wondering what color paint you used on those Rich.

teamkasnomas

nice work. you read my mind. after learning that the ats cups may require trimming the caliper or something like that, my interest has waned and i started thinking along these lines...so, how did you paint these? spray, brush? what kind of paint? how about a little DIY-guide? looks great with the drop. clean and original.

Is that yours Hank?! HOLY MOLY that looks tight. Where you been man? I gotta get up to Dallas again soon.
