New wheels on my xB.

17" Speedy Lite 5, bronze. 1/4" spacer in the front to allow clearance for air suspension components. I will be adding a rear spacer behind the hub to bring the rear wheels out.

It doesnt need anything else really... maybe the brakes eventually... About the only thing I might add after this is cruise control and possibly the factory fogs. The interior is finished. All I wanted when I first saw the xB was a square car that sat on the ground with simple tasteful wheels. I have achieved that.
