Go with the 6 spokes:
Why? They look FLAT.
I don't particularly care for the thinner spoke "curved" spokes on an xB. They look too busy and too tunerish, too sports car. The xB is more "truckish" in look than sports car-ish"
They don't mesh up to the car's overall look, and tend to look very pretty themselves but draw the eye to the rims instead of the vehicle itself. They don't "flow" I guess with the overall design to me. You don't want any one component to "stick out".
Silver will look nice on a Hot lava. Remeber it already "matches" the silver reflection from the headlights/ fogs and billet grill.
I wouldn't go with gun metal, it's gonna make the rims look smaller and you don't want that with all the side area on an XB. Plus you already have a bunch of silver accent on a Hot lava b/c of the billet grill, the little step thingies if you get them, in the cockpit etc. You also have a very unique color that changes with the light from orange to *JUMPIN JEHOSOFAT* orange. Silver works best on orange, or white, but a light light color.
Again just my .02
This is my *hitty photoshop of the rims I like for mine (assuming it ever gets here!)
Remember:
this is just a constructive critisism from an artistic standpoint, and does not imply or contain critisism of any wheel choice of any person on this board (even the ones that look like oversized skateboard wheels*whoops!*
) 
Buy what ever YOU like best. Who gives a funk if someone else dogs them. It's your ride and your perception of its appeal that is important!!!
