Which ones are they. Please post up a pic if you have one. I personally have the nine spokes and the phone dial ones for mine when I feel like rolling stock.

dude your box is looking awesome? a sub $6k box? you are the man.

ps - go to www.toyotascionparts.com - they have a couple of sets of stock scion hub caps for $20 bucks! and that's for all 4 - not $20 bucks each!

good work.

thanks for the site but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Atleast they're not under the "wheel" category so I don't know where else to look.

Dude, those won't fit. They are 16s and you need 15s. Those are from an 08' xB2.
Here is a direct link to the takeoff hubcaps. They have the phone dial ones on the right and some 06' ones in the middle. They are 20 bucks for a set plus shipping.

Good choice! Incase you ever decide to put bB emblems on the box, the phone dial caps have a bB emblem underneath the Scion logo.

X2 that was a brilliant way to get a nice xB at a low cost. I may do this when I get my next one to be used as a driver.

Excellent!

Looks very nice (and the phone dial caps are the right choice, too).

Glad to see an xB rescued and going to someone who will appreciate what an honest little box it is.

Thanks everyone, I'm really focusing on MPG right now and trying some hypermiling techniques, right now im getting about 38-39 MPG out of this tank which is pretty good since I live in a very hilly and rural area.
