Well atleast they arnt chromed rims with a HUGE wing on the back of your car.
If they where a inch or two smaller it would suite the car better they just seem a bit big for 'em. Other than that nice choice on rims

I would have prefered a 17" rim but It was hard to pass these up for $250 with tires

For that price if I owned a Scion xA I would slap them on for that price haha. Good deal and I dont blame you for picking them up then. Just wish I could find a deal like that around my area. Getting sick of my stock 16" rims.

I think it looks pretty good. Did you replace the center caps?

One of my dad's coworkers has an RX8 and he just bought new rims so i told my dad to offer him 300 for the stock rims. Well my dad offered him 250 instead and he went for it.

They do look a little big for the car, but not bad though. The style seems to fit the car great. And I will give credit for not putting some 22" weigh a ton piece of **** on the car that seems all the rage right now.

Great use of a good deal. I like it.

Maybe they where RX-8 wheels on that Supra and not 350 wheels.
