4gen Limited wheels on an xterra

So I had an extra set of wheels from my 4runner. Yesterday i had some down time, and was doing some mainenance on my wife's Xterra. Then I had an idea, "what would the xterra look like w/ 4runner wheels?"....here are te results, it's kind of strange having the toyota emblem on wheels of a nissan...

I have seen stick on emblems for wheels before at advance auto. They may only have like honda or something though, cause they are probably made for the rice burners who like to put rims on thier cars and also seem to have a million emblems. Maybe you could find a nissan one though and slap it over the toyota emblem already on there. It doesnt look too bad though, im just used to seeing those wheels on 4runners, its like when i see them on tacomas im like those dont belong there.
 
If you're worried about the emblem, I've seen the center caps without the emblems before. Not sure where you could get some though.
 
i'm not worried about the emblems at all, i just thought it looks weird but i really don't care since it's not my car. as far as my wife is concerned "come on" she didn't even notice i swapped them out until i told her. lol...
somebody mentioned something about ricers, that's my wife's crx in front of the xterra. it was just sitting in front of her dad's driveway and i decided to take it because i thought it could save me some gas....it did save gas money but I also spent a lot of $$$ getting it up and running after sitting so long...I hate that car with a passion....1st i put on new tires...it was overheating so i replaced the water pump...all good...then it didn't pass smog, i had to replace spark plugs, wires, distributor cap & rotors & even the cat converter....all good...it was lowered and from an SUV driver i hated that so i replaced the springs w/ stock springs and in the process (not to my surprise) the struts were done (replaced that too as well the brake pads)....now the brake pedal is like super sensitive and i don't know what's wrong with it...after i release the brakes the brake lights stay on draining the battery, i have to remember to pull the pedal up to make sure its off (i'm sure its an easy fix but i don't have time to deal w/ it right now)....so to reiterate myself I hate this car...I need to get rid of it quick before i go broke trying to fix everything...i don't know what it is about that car, even though i've spent more on it than it's worth i just can't leave it alone...damn POS. its not even a real ricer, it's bone stock and an automatic....sorry i just needed to vent my frustrations
 

To the uninformed, the Toyota rims on the Xterra don't look too bad......but anyone who owns a 4Runner is going to be saying, "WTF??" to themselves as they drive by.
:bash:

I am surprised that the wheel lugs matched, though. It seems that different manufacturers would have different bolt patterns. Back in the day, I remember how Ford, GM and Chrysler each had 15" rims that were not interchangeable.

I've seen a lot of crazy stuff, but the 4Runner rims on a Nissan ranks near the top.
:bigok:
 
Yeah, i see this Xterra every day and it still doesn't look right to me...but i still like it better now than before.
as far as liking the xterra, what can i say, it's nothing compared to the 4runner. IMO it's bumpy, driver leg space is cramp & steering wheel is stiff, throttle is sensitive (it does have very responsive brakes). My wife seems to like it, but then again the first time i let her drive the 4runner her words were, "Wow it's so smooth!"
