I am fixing to buy an Xb and need some help on some rims and wheels to buy. The dealership has some but they are $1750. Can anyone recommend some cheaper alternative. I have no knowledge of tires and rims so specifics would be great. Thanks David

dont buy the dealer ones. they are heavy. btu if your gonna go for rims, spend the extra money and get some that are light. If you get heavy ones, the car will become slower.

i put the 18x8 buddy club wheels on my xb but in japan there putting 18x9.5 on the rear it looks pretty cool, go to www.fabulous.co.jp check out some of there rides. Also honda wheels also fit thats what my rims were for.

Check out wheelmax.com, eBay, Rim1, and tirerack for starters. Wheelmax has some really good deals on wheels and tires. Also, if I had to do it over again, I'd get rims that are 1" wider for the rear. Maybe something like 18x7.5 w/215/35s on the front, and 18x8.5 w/235/35s for the rear.
