Rims for a XB

Thinking about getting new rims for the xb....I'm leaning towards gunmetal, however, all of a sudden have a sudden urge for chrome...What do you all think are the best rims for the XB (any specific rims?), If i get gunmetal I'm thinkin bout 17's, if i get chrome, definately 18's. Any opinions?

Remember Chrome is heavy. Tirerack has a couple that are resonable. But I like chrome on the darker color cars.

look at the end of the link.. user=me. That means everyone that clicks that link sees THEIR own gallery ;-)

Hyperblack is the end all in rim color for dark but not black cars, IMO.

I like the chrome - I also like the ones that are powder coated matching colors - the black rims get lost on some cars I think.

Me personally. I don't like chrome wheels on an Xb. I would go with Gunmetal or something like Alloy or powerder coated. Just my two cents...

Depends on the color of your box...I have green so I think gunmetal goes best...

what do you think would look best on a blue onyx pearl xb? Chrome vs Gunmetal. Does anyone have any pics of their xb's with gunmetal or chrome rims?

you can go to http://www.tirerack.com and see how your color xb looks with various rims...you can also go to http://www.ohioscions.com/ and click on their vehicle mod to see what rims look nice.

I used tire rack and they made the shopping experience very easy.
