i'd go 18's on rims... black... or gold... both look great on the SW. 19's look great, but its like rolling on rubber bands. just my opinion. i have MSW type 12's 18X8 on mine. black with machined face and i like them. if i had it to do over again, i'd go solid black. for looks, i'd start with rims and a drop. there is a list of all springs offered with the total drop in the suspension forum. i went from TRD (mild) to tanabe DF210's (hot) for asthetic and performance. good luck with what you come up with.

#1 question you have 2 ask urself is how far do u wanna take it? is it just a daily driver, or do u want to enter it in shows and stuff and what kinda class do u want to compete it street,mild, wild.

You have to look at ur cash flow do u want to build on a budget and still look good or u dont mind spending some cash?

The 1st thing i'd do is wheels/tires and a suspension uprade if you wanted to lower it.

if you really want to be different from the super white xb2's i would stay away from black & chrome/polish lip. If a gold wheel was on your mind i'd go with that style since not 2 many xb2's r on gold wheels.

do the cheap stuff first put lights in it. HIDs then Interior lights...maybe go as far as changing out the climate control and the gauge faces.

the 1st thing that i would get are wheels and tires. what kinda look are you going for? sport aggresive look, luxury look, or a jdm look?

i sporty look to me is a low count on spokes maybe a 5-7 spoke, mesh wheels also give cars a sporty look as well

luxury- you want maybe something with a full face wheels that you would see more on a 300c, magnum, charger or benz.

jdm is a little tricky. real wheels from japan are gonna cost u big bucks and most jdm wheels give off a sporty look. u can go w/ cheap knock offs but everyone will probably point that out 2 u if u go that route. there are a couple jdm luxury wheels that will give you that vip look.

wheels and tires first 4 sure

18" defenitely ride much better

then the drop imo not much guess work there tanabe or hotchkis

front grill upgrades

then a lip kit imo the best body kit is the wide body by brs but hey only if ya have about $4000 dollars to blow but realisticly the bomex lip kit is imo must nicer than the 5 axxis and its about a $1000

I think any of these wheels would look nice on a sw xB. I think a gold wheel w/ a polish/chrome lip would really be a nice set up.

Axis Halo w/ black strip


Raze r-74


Raze r-84


XTATIK wheels 229 mass (never heard of this brand but the wheels look ok) knockoffs im sure


You can always buy any wheel u want and powder coat, thats always another option

I think the axis ones would look really good though
