Default Looking for some factory 16" Split 5-Spoke alloy wheels

Like these...


I think these look really good for a stock wheel. I wanted some 19's but I think I will wait for a little while.

Let me know if you have a set of these wheels for sale.

I think TRD Sparks and newscionparts.com have them for decent prices.

IIRC like 155 per corner.

Oh I didn't think about Sparks. I figured someone in here would have a set they would sell but $148 a wheel is not too bad since all I have to do is just swap them over.

For sure! And some tire places do lifetime balance and rotation!

Check into it! I worked for a Walmart for 5 years and their prices were dirt cheap. But suffice it to say, it was still Walmart...

So I'll be saving $149.66 if I get them from Sparks over paying $795 from the dealer. With what's left over I can have the wheels swapped.

Or maybe I can get my dealer to sell them to me for what Sparks has them listed for. I'm sure they could match their price after all I am buying a xB from them.

Gah I'm so cheap

I don't know about that ^^^^ low, but there is someone that did throw some DF's on their xB2 but had different 16's. It's still a little high in the rear.

Personally, I'm waiting for the Hotchkis springs. From what bigfieroman said, their drop is going to be 1.375 front and 2.25 rear. Making less of a rake. I don't know. Midgethearsexb's xB2 looks good with the DF210's we installed... Dang good.

Ha yea, that might be a little low, but I think it looks good.

Now I think about it, I'm really digging this look.

Looks good but too low for a daily driver IMO. Also the xb is begging for larger wheels. 16s just look too small for the xb2

The $795 dealer price includes mounting, balancing, and switching the TPMS. After shipping from Sparks + mounting/balancing/TPMS it might end up costing close to or more when it's all said and done. It's probably be better bet to try and get your local dealer to nudge the price a bit. I like the one-stop-shop approach over lugging boxes to a rim shop etc.

I have those 16s and I like them. I think about selling them sometimes but I think I'll let the tires go bald first, sell the rims, and get some 17s or maybe 18s next year.

Where do you live? I have a set of those on my box and have been wanting to go to 18s. If you're close to MD, we might work a deal.
