I just picked up my silver xb today and I need to order some wheels. I am thinking of going with a 17X8 with a 42mm offset and 235/45/17 tires. Anybody try that combo yet? Do you guys think the 235's will fit ok? Also, what do you think of going with a bronze wheel on a silver XB? The other choice is gunmetal but I was thinking the bronze may look nice plus it will be different.

 

You can check here to see how different sizes fit.

Maybe some Hyper Black TSW Estoril B's?
Hyper Black

 

I don't think bronze will go well. Those two colors do not compliment each other. Chrome, black, or hyperblack go best with silver. I have hyperblack rims.

 

hmm..... i like those rims, chop fingers off

 

I have seen a few silver cars wit bronze wheels and it looked kind of cool. It sure is different which can be a good thing.
