Going to buy some beauty/trim rings for the stock 16" steelies. Curious as to the depth that the xB takes.

If you want real polished solid stainless steel, instead of plastic, then go to Hubcap Mike's:

i got mine from hubcapmike!!

I saw those. Gonna try the plastic ones first to see if i like them. Then i'll get the nicer ones.

I like the center caps. Do they make them where they don't pop out as much? What type lugs did you use?

FatBoyTrucker

the center caps are called 'spider caps'. they cover the hub & lug nuts. i just reused my stock lug nuts.

xb2owner

Got the plastic ones on and they look good. Now i gotta figure out what color to paint the wheels. Black, dark grey or the color of the xB. Like to get the stainless ones but i heard the make noises after a while. Also gotta change the lugs and do something with the center cap. I like the spyders but they stick out too much for my taste.

Buy some grease caps at napa to cover the hubs and get some bullet style lug nuts. I was gonna do that till I found the spider caps

xb2owner

Dunno which site if was but I read the grease caps do not stay on very well. Already going for the bullet style lugs. Any idea what lug size to use?

FatBoyTrucker

you have to use something like GOOP adhesive to make sure the grease caps stay put. and im 90% sure lugs are 12x1.5

Yup, 12x1.5, now you can be 100% sure.
