Hey everyone!
Which Rims do you think I should put on my XD? Thanks in advance!

 

personally i dont like any of em but if i had to choose id probably say 2 you need to go bigger also id say 18ish

 

I've considered changing the tire size but function is most important to me. How much does the ride quality and gas mileage suffer with larger tires?

 

if these are your only choices i'd go with 1.

but if not here's some nice one's i like.

I kind of like 4.

These are my favorite from the above links

i say 3

 

Hrm I say 3 as well. Though why not wait till your stock tires are dead then switch to a bigger size with rims? Thats what I'm going to do. When my tires go I'll probably go to 17" instead of 18" because I feel 18" might look too big with my car dropped already.

None of those wheels from MoreJapan look that great... I prefer http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/ and http://www.konigwheels.com/ but thats just for looking purposes :D I'll probably get a Konig Feather and get it done to be a flat black unless I find one like it thats flat black already...

 

I stayed with 16s and got Motegi FF7s in Gun Metal Gray

 

Can you please post a bigger pic with the whole car in it, I was looking at those and a big pic would really help! My xD is the same color

 

Sorry, please ignore my request above, I just saw the other thread where you posted a bigger pic!

thanks

 

if i were you I'd do something like this, IMO the xD looks too big and bulky for little wheels....

 

^^agreed, though of your choices i'd go with 3.

but yeah jon's right. i'd probably go with 17s though, since i don't like going too far away from stock size.

 

bigger wheels look better, instead of 17's I'd go 18's, with a lip..

more wheel on the road if you go bigger

 

2.
Big set of 2s

 

but how much would 18s throw off his speedo and gas milage?? 18s would look better, but it can't all be about show.

 

Those look a bit too big for the xD. You don't to have have big wheels to get that look. Just chunky rims will do.

 

 

Hey everyone!
Thanks for the replies, links, and pix! This is a huge help!

Does anyone know how much bigger tires will effect my gas milage and the ride quality? I am hell-bent on getting 30+ mpg and am using this car as my daily driver. Not looking for a sporty ride as I have a separate fun car.

I definitely enjoy the aggressive and bulky look of the XD so appreciate being pointed in that direction!

 

Don't go too big - it makes it look like a toy.
I went up one size on my tC and I think it's great.
You might be able to go up two on your car.
The xD is really a cool ride - good luck deciding - it took me about 6-months and 100 posts to decide

 

xdnme: try this site to see how big of a difference there will be between the stock size and whichever size you think you might want. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html zoltiz posted that someplace around the forums a while ago, and its really good
