I like those, I think they'd look really good on the Vibe!

Tried to get my son to buy a set of those F7s in 17". I think they would look really good on a Vibe. They are very similar to the Canadian TRD 5 spoke 17 inch option wheel... pictured below, from one genvibe member that put them on his Vibe.

Thanks for the pic, I like the way they look.You guys might laugh but im looking at the 16s cause I just want a nicer looking wheel without having to buy new tires. Just keeping it simple, not looking for a show stopper. I like the way 5 spokes look on the Vibe.I REALLY like these, but I would have to get 18" tires so I thought the sport edition spoke design comes pretty close.http://www.tirerack.com/wheels...BrandAlso like these, but I dont think they look as clean as the Sport Editions: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels...BrandThanks Sub, Im flattered to have your approval lol

For the same price, you could go with a 17" Sport Edition F7 and a nice set of 225/50 17 tires, or just a set of OZs without tires. The 225/50 17s look mighty nice in the wheel well. Son's 05 with new wheel/tires

But if you are going to upgrade the wheels, don't you think you deserve some fresh skins too.. lol.. lol@the approval.. anyone can get anything they like, I just might have things to say about it is all... and we all know what opinions are like.. lol.. I'm a fan of the darker wheels (AJ's with the black wheels, hot)

Yea that's your car! Great looking wheels on it, too! Wish Toyota had offered those TRD's here in the 'States'.

I thought they did? It was called the TRD Matrix here, which was basically an XR trix with the silly spoiler, the wheels and a TRD sticker.My understanding the same thing was called the B-Spec Matrix in the USA?
