I'm looking to get a set of wheels for my plain vanilla XB. Looking for 15", 4x100, w/centerbore of 54.1 and a 37-40 E.T. Some minor rash would be acceptable, but they need to be straight. Anyone doing some garage cleaning or upsizing? Thanks

I have some, but it's been over 30 years since I lived in Oswego! Fortunately, I also have an xB, and I can tell you what I did...
Base MINI Cooper wheels. All the specs match, except the centerbore is 56.1, but in the real world, that doesn't matter.
I've bought 2 sets so far off of Craigslist. One set was $50, with pretty bad tires (but $50 is less than scrap value!). Those are in the shed waiting until I need new tires. The other set cost $200 and had tires with 75% tread.
Stock Cooper tire size is 175/65, which is pretty close to the Scion's 185/60, and I run them without issue.
Search Craigslist for "mini wheels" and "mini rims". You will find some.

Would these work?

I have a set of TR motorsport 15x7.5 with 225/45/R15 RS2's off my Miata. They had hub adapters for 54.1centerbore but they have a 42mm offset.

They would be cool but:
1) too wide for me
2) too much for my blood (I' m tight....er, frugal)
3) I don't need tires

I've some bmw bottlecaps I just picked up, but the centers would need to be opened up a bit to fit on your xb.
