IMO, 20" and over on the xB just looks a bit "weird" to me. Not saying it looks horrible, but it seems to be too big for the car.

18-19" seems to be the "sweet spot" for the xB. 17" is a nice stock alternative with some 17" looking pretty sweet on it.

Looks good, just not my "thang".

IMO, it depends on the wheel design. Anything with a big lip needs to be bigger because lips make the wheels look smaller, in that case I like 20s, but with flatter wheels, 18s and 19s look awesome, as do some 17s (like mine! )

I'm not into the whole "I'm wanna put the biggest wheel on there just because I can," and then they think their ride is "custom" because of it. It's really prevalent in the F/S Truck/SUV scene, and of course the donks. Big wheels don't make your ride custom. Now if you want to bag it and actually lay it out, more power to you. I love to see anything on the ground with big wheels tucked WAY up in the fenders.

I would do mine, but I just got rid of my bagged ride in favor of something more kid friendly...got a baby girl on the way.

My wife would kill me if I bagged mine...oh well. At least I got away with lowering it today.
