What wheels are they? Are you going to try and run 9.5" wheels on the front also, or just the rear?

Add a pic of the matte bronze color please.

I'd either go with gold or bronze, that color combo would look good if you ever went with a CF hood or rear hatch.

IIRC the 17x9's you have now are +35 offset.

From what I've seen, those 18x9.5 Rota Grids are +20 offset.
Unless you've found a source I don't know about, you're going to slice up your front tires with those.

I'm guessing you're not a fan of the Hyper Black or Gunmetallic, since you didn't include them in your choices above.

Bronze FTW!

These new Rotas are going to push you out almost 1" more than you are now with the 17x9 +35...

I honestly wish you the best, if it works you'll have the most aggressive front wheel fitment I've seen anybody pull off on a xB2.

if you want more attention get the gold
if you want something more mellow get the bronze
both will look great on your car just depends on your own preference
i personally would get the gold and i would luv to put gold rims on my car but i have the rs5 so it'll be overkill :p
