found some, just no money (900 w/tires.)

 

Are they white ones? Those look perfect on a PW... Violent B did it first tho That's great they're still avaiable, they've been out of production for a while.

 

yeah, they are white, with a blue rim, at least, I hope they are still available, I was gonna buy them, but I had unexpected 'things' happen, and I had to back out, and he said he was in no hurry to loose them. hope they're not gone. yeah, I dont want to seem like a copy cat, but all the cool wheels have been done, and I likem. I'm not gonna act like I was the first, just one of the few.

 

Like your ride A LOT. Not a big fan of TCM. I think the only one I've seen that I like is Squirrels, but yours is there now too. Just a few subtle changes, but the right ones. Ride isn't covered in millions of decals or anything too, so that's a HUGE plus. Nice choice in wheels. My friend has the Advan gen II's on his 280sx fastback and they're nice. My only complaint is Advan only makes them in huge sizes, when I think anything over 16 on a non vip xb is a no-no. But yeah, the three spoke design is up there in my top three favorite non VIP wheels for an xb. TE-37's, Gen II's, and Nezarts, or any other Work model similar in 5 spoke(there are a few like JDMjim's, but the name is slipping from memory right now).

 

Squirrel's is my favorite TCM, so it's nice to be mentioned with it I almost ended up with the same wheels he has. He has some sick bits on his box tho, it'll be a while before I think I can catch up to it...
I think I've had a thing for 3-spokers since the Saab SPG. Somehow these don't look like they should be wheels to me, more like a gear pulley or grinder wheel or something (maybe that's where the Autobot thing came from...) I don't know. I just dig em.
My plan for the next mod has changed a bit... will be underway soon. After that I'll have some better pix to show it all together...

 

never had a thing for 3 spoke wheels, always felt like they would give in if i parked them without a spoke pointed down

eh looks good though....i wanna know how Bill took it seeing them on it

 

Mo mods a-coming...

 

oh threats.......uh oh...you know what that means

 

how's the ride on the 215/45s?? do you still have your old rims??

 

The ride is WAY better on 215/45's. Actually they're better in every other way too...

The old shoes are now on my boss' Civic. Look pretty nice on there.

About ready for another bunch of mods to post, some in the proccess as we speak. Here's some previews-

 

I know this is Waaaaaaaaaaaaay off topic, but, Boxer_Rebellion, is your name related to the rebellion in China in the early 1900's?

 

I like the CF, and I'm starting to come around with liking the bB logo, however I don't know that I would ever rebadge using them.

Also...


I have a 94 Acura Integra, and in the past considered modding it, however its gotten way to old and beatup to save. But I found these pics online somewhere of a pretty sweet integra (w/ sylvia headlights). Your transformer logos reminded me of it. The logo makes sense on this car too since it has a chameleon paint job.

 

^^^ that's hot...

I'm gonna be color matching the grille TCM very soon, BTW.

 

You are correct sir. Not that I'm a fan of pre-communism chinese politics, I just think it's a clever reference (as in rebeling against current car design paradigms with a box...)

 

someone call department of home land security...he is trying to take over america....and when you do can i push the big red button

 

Boxer, your xB is looking awesome. I'm really liking the wheels and the custom gauge surround thing you did. Thumbs up

 

Some more bits...

Autobot badge-




Made one for the speedo too... gonna put a red LED in the upper inside housing so it's illuminated at night.



And of course you have to make the front end match



I felt the rears could come out a tad more, so I threw on some inexpensive 5mm spacers to augment the 10mm shims. I think it's just about there now... any more and I'd have to pull the fender lip.




Here's the lugs up close-



Still working on the interior stuff but here's a few nifty items... Cool non-smoking lighter thing that lights up bright red at night-



Something I had been trying to figure out was how to lug around my books and other school stuff since my trunk floor cubby is going to be home for a sub... found these killer 14" cubes at Target... they fold up flat when not needed, and can hold all my books, art supplies and what not.... they fit perfect with my ecko bag.



Here's a parting shot... next time you see it there'll be new tails, yet another grill modification and some ICE action...

 

Where did you get the 5mm spacer's from?? I just ordered OTG shims and might wanna go a bit further as well.

-Thanx

 

Ebay. They were mad cheap, like $12 shipped from canada. Look for ones like these with the most surface area...
I was going to buy OTG's 5mm spacers as they had the most direct fit and quality, but these so far haven't given me any balance issues so I'll run em for now.

 

okay good, that was gonna be my next question
