MY BUILD THREAD!
Holy large pics Batman!
Wheels are a very personal decision, but here's my .02 on a couple topics.
1. I think gold only looks good on white, or the dark colors (dark blue or black cherry, but not black). I think gold and silver clash, but that's obviously just my personal opinion, and you're the only person who has to like whatever you pick.
2. I'm not a fan of the fake two-piece wheel look, where there are a bunch of fake screw heads around the outer lip. It's bad enough that wheels get copied, but then to completely fake something just doesn't work for me.
3. This is a smaller thought, but I prefer 5-hole wheels to universal 10-holes. Yes, I'm pretty nit-picky.
When it comes to putting wheels on the xB in classic silver, I favor darker shades like gunmetal and hyper-black. Black also works well if you're going for a more aggressive tuner look.
For my reasons above, I like #3 (the MB Boost) the best, but they are only available in 17x7 or 18x7.5 so no stagger.
Have you decided on 17's or 18's yet?
I especially like these in Chromium Black, and they are available in staggered sizes for both 17's and 18's, as well as being very reasonably priced. You would of course need to run mildly stretched tires to not rub.

I think your right with the gold now that I see it.. Hyper black it is.. Or many gunmetal.. 18s I think are what I want.. Now if these were staggered I would love them cause I seen these on a 350Z and I wanted this style originally.. If I wanted staggered how would I getem? Sizes?
This should be your build thread or make a build thread
nvm just change the thread name. Sorry still a noob didn't know you can change the thread name.
