Default Opinions on these rims. . .

I have a little while before I can save up enough to buy these rims but I have narrowed it down to two styles that I really like. I did a 10 minute photochop so excuse the extreme crappiness of the pictures. So the choices are. . .

on the left Urban Racing type 8 with blue accents. . . I've seen the black and I like them but I am a much bigger fan of the blue ones. they are 17 x 7.

on the right are DeCorsa Fusions. . . I saw these when I first got the xB and I can't find the picture anywhere, but I really like the style. I'd rather have a rim with a little bit of a lip but I like the big ole holes on them. They kind of remind me of some rims I saw on a Nissan/Infinity Murano/FX35. they are also going to be 17 x 7



Like I said it's going to be a while before I can afford them but I figure I'd see what the peanut gallery has to say. I'm sure some one is going to flame me, so please keep the flaming down as much as you can. Thanks.

I'd say go with the ones on the left! Those are very unique and are gonna be more of a head turner!

I saw the black one's I liked them but the reason I was looking at the blue was well. . . they are cheezy. . .ha ha ha. . . and I am eventually going to do a blue stripe pretty close to the color on the rim on the xB. It's funny how no one like the ones on the right. . . I suppose it reminds me of my old rims on my old benz. . .hee hee.

I really like the ones on the right, they have a very OEM look. The ones on the left are a little too "ohh look at me, ish" I am 39 and own two x'bs. A little older opinion, for what its worth. BTW where can you find those? Did a google and found nothing...

The ones on the left I have been looking for a long time they dissappeared. . . the original company was called Finn Racing. . . they changed names to Urban Racing

The ones the right I saw in a magazine when the xB first hit the east coast. They are from a company called Decorsa. They make Rims for "luxury" cars. . .whatever that means. I was able to find them on the web but when I went back to find pictures of them all I could find were the rims, but not on the car. That is why they are photochopped.

Check out wheemax.com for the decorsa rims
and
Check out ebay for the Urban Racing rims. . . The sellers also have a web based store. There are other style I like but I didn't feel like photochopping rims on to the xB and most of the rims I like get the same reaction as these two.

If the ones on the left come in something else other than the lame blue, then get them.

Yeah, they look cheap but it'll fit in where I work. Most of the cars out there are Pepboys/Advance Auto sponsored cars. . . I do appriciate the comments, I'd like to hear more.
