Default New wheels coming

Ordered a set of Konig Lightning wheels today, stock 15" diameter to go with my new tires.
Should be here by the weekend so I'll get them mounted and shoot some pictures to post.
I've been wanting to get wheels for some time now so I'm stoked.
I believe they are going to look GREAT against the Green with Envy paint.
Here is the wheel:

They look good with a nice lip. I've been very happy with my Konig 15s that have been on my car for almost 6yrs now.

What tires are you getting?

Are these 7" wide? If so, I would recommend moving up to a 195/60/15 tire. I ran stock 185 tires on mine for a while and they had really low grip and looked so skinny on the 7" wide rims. The 195s provide a lot more grip and really fill out the wheel better.

I already have the tires on my car. I'll just have to live with them until they wear out.

Those wheels looks nice. You will be fine with stock tires on a 7" rim. I ran my stock tires on a 8" rim and I had no problems.

x2, those look really nice. It's amazing how small 15's look on the xB's though. Last time I got my oil changed, one of the mechanics asked if I had 13" wheels...nope, they are 15's, but this car BEGS for 18's!
