1967GoatMy advice would be to put the money into a college 529 account for your kids. That $2,000 could turn into $6,000 by the time they are ready for college.

I guess a 2015 Sienna XLE AWD & tirerack only shows that these come in 18"
BBS SR 18"But the stock image they have, it looks good to me.

AndybI don't think it's possible to make those look cool
Enjoy it for what it is and it's' intended purpose and put that towards the kids, or a fun car

No way, bro. The way a minivan rolls when you hit the bends are part of the charm. Feels like a pleasure cruise.

You don't want to hear this, but while this isn't exactly putting lipstick on a pig, it is putting fancy mag wheels on a mini-van. I'd save my money.
Thank you for expressing my feelings as well.
Is the OP 16 yo?

AeteoclesPersonally,
I'd just buy a stock full size wheel and find a way to carry it under the vehicle. Add a trailer hitch for bike racks. Roof rack for snowboards, etc. Roll with it for what it is.
If you've got money to burn, then a second set of steelies with some aggressive tires for snowboarding season.

chongosuerteNever understood this. But to each their own. I suppose I'm a plain, bone-stock kinda guy.
Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.
Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

Those rims actually have a, ease of cleaning rating. Who would have thought that. Maybe Black92 will post up a pic of his Sienna when he gets time.

The BBS SR has too much space between the spokes for the likes of me. I prefer the LM who u is what wheel numbe 2 seems to be modeled after but the BBS LM is in the ballpark of $1100 per wheel!!!
http://www.bbs-usa.com/road_wh..._details.cfm?wheel=6I'll get some pics up eventually. Have not had it in my possession for longer than 48 hours since I bought it. Hopefully everything is finally good to go and I can clean it up.
So far only added yellow LED fog lights, window tint, and neoprene seat covers for under the car seats.
I have HIDs ready to install and I hope to get them put in Monday.
But putting a new wheel speed sensor and rear diff fluid change on the Explorer takes priority so I can sell it.
Yes, I am aware it is a van. Some may not want to put wheels on it and that is fine but some look nice in my opinion so I may get some or I may put the money into the Mustang. We'll see.
Kind of like when I see people spend any sort of money on modifying a Glock. I find that to be a complete and utter waste, talk about putting lipstick on a pig. But if someone wants to do something silly like that even after being silly for purchasing a Glock in the first place I won't knock their choice.
