When I finally put wheels on my box they will be Sportmax 962's

Lately I have been into mostly "multi-spoke stuff. Solid spokes are nice, but I've been liking the split spokes even more. Stuff in the split 7 and split 8 style. Staggered fitment is good with at least 3/8" more lip in the rear. A little aggressive is fine without getting extreme if you want to market to a broader group. Keep in mind that many of us want to get LOW on air, etc. 18x8 +38 front and 18x8 +28 rear works out pretty well.
Machined finish is also an excellent look. It looks much nicer than painted or powdercoated wheels without adding the cost of chroming, custom anodizing, etc.
Here are a couple of examples...
I've also always liked the wheel style below. Lots of companies have similar wheels, but it is hard to find in a good fitment for the xB. Especially something reasonably priced.

It all depends upon what your looking for.
More Bling factor: go with a Rays, Volk, maybe a Work - or some cheap-o chromy-dome wheel.
It also depends upon what color xA or xB its going on, IMO. If its a black car, sure a nice polished aluminum, or bronze/gold wheel can go nicely. If its a Red car, well maybe a blue mesh(Tuning fork stlye) w/polished lip can go nicely. If its a Blue car, I personally like a good/nice White wheel (ie. Rays, Buddy Club, etc.).
Tell me what color rig... and that would be a better way to approach getting good feedback in terms of what color/style wheel to use. Now, as far as size of wheel... thats a whole nother can of wurms

That isn't a burnt lip. Its called Neo Chrome.
And Wes, is 5Axis considering making one style of wheel in 1 offset for the xA/xB or are we looking a possiblility of multiple wheels under the 5Axis name with many different offsets, disks, and so on?
