Those look good too, especially since they're 18's; however, as you may be aware, I have a personal bias toward your old MB Weapons.

Did you just get tired of the Weapons?

Cionide, I got sick of the weapons so I wanted to try something new. I didn't want anything flashy and I wanted something that kinda looks like it could be a factory wheel. I also wanted something that was easy to maintain and not go out of style soon. I sold the weapons to a friend in my town that has a silver Xb like us. Also, I needed tires so for what it would have cost me for new tires I sild the old wheels and tires and used that money towards new stuff for the same amount of money.

Those look very sleek on your car. It kind of reminds me how concept cars always have really nice rims on them, but when the actual car comes out it's kind of a let down... You're B could be the concept car with those rims on it. Very nicely done!

Wow, Thank you guys for all the kind words. I must have looked for two months for new wheels and tires and I am glad I picked the wheels I did. I think you guys prove to me that it gave me that factory type look I want. Also, I am nearly 50 years old and didn't want anything to youthful looking. I alreay have all the guys around my age breaking my buys and ask me when I am going to grow up and get an adult car.

I'm assuming you're talking about his old MB Weapons. They come in gunmetal or bronze.

Here you go philthy:

This will let you see what they look like, but I would not recommend running the same wheel sizes/offsets & tire sizes that I did. My double-stagger sizing is very unconventional, and you would definitely rub unless you never ever lower your xB. I rub badly when fully loaded with passenger or cargo (which is fortunately a rare occurrence for me), or if I take freeway cloverleafs aggressively.


Here are pics of wrczx3 on NF springs with 17x8 Weapons and 235/45 tires at all 4 corners:
