Thanks, Todd! I'll look around, but it might be a while on the new wheels.

More like it can't get out of it's own way, so don't add any more weight. 
Stazi, I lmao at you Cd comment! I wont argue with the shoebox on wheels comment, either. But, I will not argue with 35mpg on the highway. 
I think you'd be pretty surprised with the pep. It aint fast, but it does just fine.

Anyone wanna chop those wheels on to my thundercloud xB?
16" wheels = 205/50 tire
17" wheels = 215/40 tire 
I've never been a fan of hubcaps...

Um...no. 40 series tires = risky. Can't imagine what would be necessary with 18" or 19" wheel.
Plus, you gotta keep in mind that this beast is pumping out 108 screaming ponies...no room for heavy wheels.

You can get 18"s as an option, right? I don't think there is anything to worry about with 18"s or even 19"s on there.
