Default two improtant questions

im guessing that when people put "56k" beside their post, it means they have pictures, right? i never really understood that.

and secondly,
im getting ready to put some bangin new rims on my white xb. they're blue bsa's.

ive only found like one picture of another white xb with blue rims. if you have any more examples let me know.

oh and tell me what you think of them.

My vote? Option C:

These wheels would look HOT . . . but IFF you have other accents the same color somewhere else on the outside of the car. You don't want those wheels all by themselves . . . IMO.
(I'm thinking blue bumpers and/or blue mirrors and/or blue stripes and/or . . . you get the idea . . . .)

i have seen one PW with blue rims also, i think this is a better set and color of rims than the one i have seen, but i agree with pooder about the accents...if you do a blue stripe following the body line with these on there it would look really good...i wouldnt go too extreme on the outside with the blue accents, and i would follow the theme to the interior (which you probably already have done)

You got my vote on these. this is gonna look hot. i disagree with pooder though, i think it would look much better with the blue rims with NO blue accents. the blue accents will make it look to ricer. just my opinion. post pics when you got these on, and if you post tons of pics when you do, add the 56k warning

Young lady, DON'T scrimp on tires!

OK, I went into Dad Mode there . . . my daughters and son would recognize it immediately . . . but it's true; when buying tires it pays to spend enough to get good quality stuff.

Now that my lecture is done, may I recommend Tire Rack? I got my tires there, and saved a bunch on good tires. (You probably don't need the same things I do for commuting in MN, so I won't recommend specific tires . . . ;^)

yeah, its like cutting costs on an air bag. great idea, until it doesnt work. same with tires, you need them pay for what you need! and i think it could look cool... but i would say reflective ish light blue personally.

I dunno I have a pw xb and dont think that the blue would flow to well, then again everyone's taste is different I guess you can say it would be more tuner looking ? if you do put them on definately post pics though I would like to see.

i also liked different color wheels, get tired of seeing the same chrome ____ everywhere.. when i finally get the cash i plan on putting some red Sport Maxx on my car (wheels are cheap, but good tires and fender flares are what are gonna cost me)
i just like the clash of colors.. chrome is ehhh now a days.. it also kinda cheapens the look of the rest of the car.
