This photo is from back in 2013. I like the five spokes on this Sienna:

I like the 5 spokes from an angle like that but the Sienna needs 19s at a minimum and straight on from the side I don't like seeing the brakes. Sure their are big beak kits out there but I am not getting into all that.

There are some good looking Siennas out in Cali. Vossen has a whole ad campaign geared at Sienna owners.

Vossen has some really good looking wheels too. I just can't bring myself to drop the coin on them.

There's a British Formula One driver (if I remember correctly, Stirling Moss) who said he always rented minivans in the US. He could drive them the fastest with the lowest risk of being ticketed.

Jeez! Give Black92LX a break. He bought a used vehicle and wants to dress it up and is staying within a budget. I don't see you guys jumping all over the guys that want to buy Ferraris, G wagons, and other $100k + vehicles, Rolex watches, fancy grills, motorcycles, hundred dollar spinning tops, thousand dollar parkas, the latest flat screen tv, trips to the Caribbean, fancy blenders, thousand dollar quad copters, or the hundreds of dollars in flashlights. I am sure he has his finances locked down judging by his posts over the past several years. He seems pretty squared away.

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.
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!!!

I'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.


That makes sense, I've always been somewhere in between. The LM is just a bit too much for me, spokes and $$$.
Luckily I'm pretty happy with the OE wheels on my F150, because it seems the majority of decent looking truck wheels all have those fake beadlock bolts around the rim, which I really don't like.

Pimping a mini van? Roll Eyes

We just bought a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, and I think the fancy wheels from the factory are cool enough.

Then again...I am 62 years old, and try to spend my retirement dollars wisely. Cool

As far as minivans go the Sienna is the most aesthetically pleasing one out there in my opinion.

If it were me I'd probably try to go this route. Big Grin

Now you went and done it stickman. I am sure Mrs. Black92 is going to love driving around in her rock crawler Sienna when Black gets done building it.. Big Grin

I wish I had a Sienna as I like the Van. Only thing I would add would be expensive Michelins.

That does not appear to be a Sienna to me, front opening doors, and it almost looks like hinged rear doors.

If that weren't a one off kit that cost more than what I paid for the van I would do it in a heart beat.
The front doors were flipped likely to allow for the larger wheels wells and the rear are likely hinged as the slider would not open over the new fenders.

It is a Sienna shell on a Tacoma frame

I'm surprised Toyota hasn't offered up a Sport model of the Sienna van as, they've gone crazy with their Camry car. I saw a pic of this and its rather sharp for a Camry. Heck, the new Camry does where 19" wheels and, the hybrid model has way more busy looking rims. Maybe you need some Camry rims for your Sienna.
