Pomeranian... sounds expensive, kinda like the wheels.

healthynine

yeah, wasn't cheap...they were actually almost the same price :?

Just be careful that your Karma never runs over your Dogma.

Wow, they're perfect. One of the best color/wheel combos I've seen.

Congrats on the dog, pomeranians are awesome. One of my friends has one, it's like a ball of fur on meth.

healthynine

I appreciate the positive comments!

It took me a long time to decide, and I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and that for now its still original...

Now on to the next thing to try to stay a little ahead of the curve

bronze wheels FTW! looks as though they are sitting pretty much flush with the body or are they slightly tucked?


dude, screw the pomeranian. should have gotten the baby fox.

Dude, he got both, have you seen those things? Pomerania's are like a Jack Russell terrier on crack!

healthynine

They are slightly tucked...I prefer it that way. I do plan on running a spacer in the rear.


And the fiance is loving all the dog comments BTW

He's definately a hyper one....he freaks out the other dogs

When I get around to deciding on wheels, I plan on running spacers on the rear also; my understanding is that the rear axle is offset to the drivers side, so you may want to take careful measurements in case the passenger side spacer needs to be a little thicker for both sides to match at the fenders. I'll be interested in finding out what you finally end up doing regarding the spacers; and of course seeing pictures.

Looks great man. I like the dog too!

You know what I think might look cool and not cost too much is to bronze your emblems to match the rims. It might be overkill, but I don't know... It might tie everything together.

Meanwhile I look at rims almost every day and change my mind almost as often.

evosky

looking good dude. nice pomeranian.

They look great!! You mention 42mm offset. What is the wheel size? 18x8?

Where did you get them?

Thanks!!

healthynine

The wheels are 18x7.5

And as for bronze emblems...maybe? I thought about it and I think I may just pull them all off

Can't do that, there are two holes under the rear Scion emblem, and the front one has the grill molded around it. I think it would look great to bronze those two, and maybe lose the "xB" on the rear. That would be very subtle, and look great IMO. You will also need a bronze license plate frame, of course (I'm guessing from your pics with no front plate that IL doesn't require them).

healthynine

I could just replace the whole grill. And I forgot about the holes under the rear emblem.

IL does require a front plate, but I haven't ever had one on, and never had an issue

gen2box

Nice. What size and offset?
Thanks!!

healthynine

just ordered the center caps from PG_Box...I recommend anyone looking for parts to contact them, great customer service and I always try to support a vendor on the forums

should have everything with the wheels finalized soon

BadBlood

I like your bronze rims. I think that color will look good on my blackberry crush....nice!
