I've seen a few black cars with white rims, and it looks amazing if the car can pull it off. I think the xb could depending upon the rim. I think a white rim w/ 2-3'' lip would look extremely well on a bsp.

Black w/ chrome lip, a very dark green w/ polished lip, silver/alloy colors, gunmetal, grey all looks great on black cars.

If you want to look great, and keep original i think you should try white. But you can't just pick any white rim being its a black car, it really has to fit well and look like its supposed to be there. White rims on a black car can be hard to pull off, but it looks out-standing if done with style and taste.

Good luck.

depends on how dedicated to keeping your car clean you are...if you're lazy, no, if you're like me, yes.

Check out Thomas's profile. He has a PW xB with the stainless discs.

Yes! I had white ones for over a year and they looked OK but never stayed clean for very long. White would look good on BSP but so do other style wheels. It would look too much like a MINI. IMO Just get what your heart tells you and heck you could alway strip them down like me and paint them any color you want down the road.
