Mine won't be as lower as this one or anything but just as a general overview of the car and the rims. What do u guys think? I have a few people saying it will look tight but then again I got a few people saying it'll be way to much white.

Here is a pic of the actual set of Rims I am looking at.

I haven't seen a wheel yet that doesn't look good on a white box! A white wheel on a white box is very, very cool.

LOL....I didn't even realize it had sparks shooting from the back :roll:
I just liked the pic because it showed the white wheels in motion.

Update:

still trying to find the right set of white rims at the right price.

What u guys think of these? A little more pricer but I think these might set it off a little more then the plain 8 or 10 spoke style.

I'm usually not a big fan of color matched wheels, but it does look good on the white xB. Personally I like the first set you posted. Looks much cleaner without the extra bolts.

Hey, thanks!! The rims were custom made by HRE in California. The front rim is a 19x7.5 and the rear is a 19x9. I never asked what the offsets were. The rim shop I ordered them from did a bunch of measurements and gave HRE the different measurements. I hope this helps..
ps, they are a little on the expensive side. :)

If you wanna keep it super unique, talk to your local powder coater. He can strip down just about any wheel (new or used) and make it white for you. Tough, cheap, unique. Just can't have any rivets or outstanding contrasting objects. Hell, have him do your steelies to get a feel. Then do your lugs in black or something. The right powder man won't charge much if you walk in and talk about your car club and all the guys needing coats...

+1, that way you can choose the wheel you like then have the color changed. I would just say get one with a polished lip, they just look cleaner!
