Think this is too good to be real? I would love 5 wheels, caps, nuts and lock nuts. Do these take special nuts vs the oem ones? |

I've thought about those ones before too.
Any links to photos of a box wearing those? |

I think they are rather hot for 28 bucks a piece. I did an order for 5 and some lock nuts and shipping came to 12 bucks. 186 bucks and change for 5 wheels and a set of lock nuts.
True, I want the 7 spoke, but they still seem priced high, I mean toy gives those away at the scion meets and the one guy I was dealing with would not give his paypal address.

I hate you!
cuz you just made me order 4 as well. Yep, $11.33 shipping.
It says" Some heavy or bulky items may need to be recalculated and you will be notified of any additional charges" So, if they want to bill me more at shipping time I'm gonna cancel. $124 for a set of 4 WITH centercaps, shipped, is almost TOO good to be true.
Lucky for me, I got lugs sitting around here that will work for those wheels. |

What, no spare!!!!! I guess you like donuts, yummmm.
I put in the notes field to let me know about the nuts. Can I buy those at an auto store? Are they special?
Ive seen those wheels before. They have a scifi look to them. Ever watch Andromina? They look good and are unique, most scions have aftermarket wheels or the cheesy covers they come with. As long as they are silver and you have some black on the car, they look great. I think in many scions, the chrones look cheesy too, unless the whole car is black. |

Pretty much everyone is liquidating those wheels, as well as the EM-7. I know that the regional warehouses were just giving them away recently.
So yea, it's a good price. |

You guys realize those are only 15X5.5" right?
The 7 spoke 15X6" ones are 49.00 each. Shipping on them was 80 bucks for the set of 4. I'm pretty sure shipping on the 10 spokes will be more than the 11.33 the cart shows. :nails: |

Yeah probably. I'll cancel it it is.
I had to bite for $125 though.

Same size as the factory steelie. I'll fit just fine. The EM-7 is just a little wider in case people want to run 205s or something. |

I am fine with the size. The stock tires are wall too wide for it as is. I expected little bicycle tires like the metro or swift usex, to my surprise its got big honking tires the similar size to my moms suzuki 4x4 jeep.
I too may cancel if they can not work a good price. I was trying to buy the 7 spoke from the guy on the classified, but he vanished from the face of the earth.
FYI, if that does not work out, I would be open to buying any 15 inch nice wheels at a reasonible price from a scionlife member. I am sure someof you guys bought wheels and changed your mind or got the upgraded wheels and went with another brand. |

xA Steelies are 15X5.5".
I'm sure they'll fit but will just be slightly sunk in.
Let us know tomorrow if the shipping is more. I may get a set if the shipping stays the same as the cart says. Thanks |

I didn't know there were different size steelies on the 2 cars. My winter set must have come from an xA then. And to be honest, I never noticed any difference, in terms of how the offset looks. |

I got an e-mail, they canceled my wheel order.
They said the shipping was incorrect, and the price of the item was wrong.
Jeeze...How f*cked up can you run your business. :loser: |
