Well the xB now has some new rims along with brand new tires. I was running 215/35/18's and dropped down to a 215/40/17. I can't tell you how much a difference that made! So much smother ride and the bumps don't hurt everytime you go over them. well here are some pics (the wheels\tires were wet whan I took the pics):

the rims are the KMC Hotwheels Redlines gloss black with a polished lip, 17x7 with a +42 offset. the tires are Fusion ZRi 215/40/17's. I was worried about how the black wheels would look against the blue paint but I am very happy with the outcome.

very nice mang.....now drop it like it's hot.... :P

funny you say that, it is dropped. I'm running Tanabe NF210's. I'm putting a system in so I wanted a little room for the weight to lower it. I didn't want to have any problems after the fact.

It doesnt look too dropped. Personally if youre not gonna run coilovers , I would stick with an 18" wheel.

I am thinking of going with some Megan springs or Tanabe DF210's. the gap is a tad bigger than the 18's but I don't want it too low since it is a daily driver.

Yo B hot shoes you got your box, I like, you get those for her as a Christmas present right , funny you got your real box a better present than what you got T. huh, LoL. But looks good, bring em bye some time so's i can checkem out in person. Sure could have used you the dayafter at C.C., but talk at you later, B.

haha yeah I have those same rims on my box (only flat black). Just buy some Tein Basic coilovers. They arent too expensive, they can have up to a 3.5 inch drop, and they handle like a beast. GO FOR IT!

Hmmm...Tein Basics huh? will definetly look into a set. any reccomendations where to purchase from?

SCO, a good local supplier (for me, since I live in AZ). If you buy from here, the coilovers are $800 with a 75$ rebate and you can also get an extra 10 bucks off with this "gift" to people on a Nissan forum: http://www.sportcompactonly.com/NICO

thanks. will def check it out.

Sweet Kicks, yo. LOL

I've been listening to too much BackSpin.

ahhhhhhh, bill you lucky man

i got new dropzone springs, they are 1.8/2.0 same as the s-techs i believe but i dunno, and i got a great e-bay deal too

white rims no more. what a pain in the a$$ to clean. I know black is a pain also but it can't be no worse than white.

if i remember what you told me before

thats the price you pay for pimpin big willie style

now we pinpin big willie black wheel style

So you went with the 40-series huh? Looking nice man... Can't wait to see em at the meet.

NONONONONONONONO. Non-factory white rims on a white car= tacky. Seriously, unless the car was made that way, NEVER have a white on white car.

I really like the way mine looked. aside for the rough ride, the wife curbing a rim, and trying to keep them clean I would of kept them.
the white rims were not 100% white, the center caps were painted blue to match the flames so it broke up the solid white.

sweet! need i say more...
