Well i really like the gold wire wheels a lot. Its really stand out indeed. But its too heavy for my tiny 1.5L VVT-i can handle. Lot of resistance when pick up and brake distance is terrible.
Might consider order another set of 15' gold wire wheel. Do you have any idea what configuration is recommended. In term of the off-set, the width 7.0j or 8.0j?
Thanx!

Thinks a 20mm spacer will help. Too bad there is no bigger engine available here. i can imagine how powerful a 2.4L on this car as 1.5L is already sufficient for everyday use. But restricted to small wheel.

That's very interesting, the lines of the bB are actually very similar to the xB2, though of course, the xB2 is larger. The bB lines are definitely not the same as the original xB. Seems like we've been fed a line that the xB is much the same as the bB. Maybe I should get a bB emblem for my xB2 ! Looks darned similar to me!

Am I correct in this, is the true bB actually more similar in window lines to the xB2 than the original U.S. xB? A criticism leveled by xB enthusiasts and many reviewers in the U.S. is the reduction of side window size. Am I correct in thinking the original bB and the xB2 actually have a similarity in those lines?
Thanks -- Trevor !

Anyone care to tell me I'm wrong? It appears to me the lines of the bB and the xB2 are pretty much the same. So what is wrong with the idea of installing a bB badge on an xB2? Appears to me the xB1 did something different from the bB, whereas the xB2, though clearly somewhat larger, is actually truer to the bB styling!

OK,

Hi, trevors! I think it absolutely not a problem for having a bB emblem on your xB2 as the xb or bB is actually originated from the xB1/bB. They are all from the same family. In my country, there are only 3 xB/Rumion registered on the road. And i belong to the Toyota bB/ Daihatsu Materia club. In Asia Toyota bB is known as the Japan bB and the Toyota Rumion (scion xB) known as American bB. For your info, the Toyota bB has been marketed as different name by different made. Such as Subaru (Dex), Daihatsu (Coo for Japan) (Materia for Europe and other Asian country). They all wearing different badges which made they belong. As for my Rumion, I'm having the Toyota Corolla's badge in front, Toyota logo on the steering and scion's emblem on the rear gate.

f***ed up by releasing it. That was one of the reasons I stopped coming to ScionLife and stuck to my Scikotics forums. Now that I am visiting ScionLife again after a year it seems to have died off.
Went to a Club xB meet in the Smokies in April and people said the 2nd Gens being there ruined their Meet. I wonder if this happens every time a manufacturer releases a new body style?
