I would not have thought this would have been such a hard decision.
I got a camo so here is what I have turned up so far. If any of you are rocking a set of the wheels displayed can you post em up? Thanks.

The more I think about it, I really like the first 4. Hey, at least I have narrowed it down right.

one or four. four is nice but thats probably cause i am a nissan og and that wheel is a copy of the nismo wheel. i think it will look nice on an xb and be pretty original. one is just a classic good looking rim. the rest are just copies of played out wheels. if you want a cheap nice mesh type i would suggest these.

they are super mesh racing wheels. you can find them at www. jhpusa,com there is actually a camo xb with these wheels already. the only down side is they come in 15 or 16 only but i prefer 15/16's anyway.
heres the pic they are 16's

I'd be interested in seeing these on an xB....I love how the spokes point inwards instead of outwards....I wonder if the 4-lug, higher offset versions look like that too?

I'm going through the same thing for DA BOX right now.Can't make up my mind on 17"or 18" rims.I leaning toward a 5 spoke with a lip.Keep in mind you get what you pay for.Think about the weight of the wheel and tire and the type,forged,or cast.Let us see what you do.Good Luck

I'm gonna to stick with 17's. I had just put on four brand new tires size 205/45-17 and I plan on using those puppies. Your wheels are pretty slick though.
As I keep pondering what direction to go I think I am either going to go with the



or



I am pretty sure both wheels are heat-treated and shot-peened so I shouldn't have the same trouble with my last set. I know no rim is invinsable, but if it improves my chances then what the hell right.

fsr20det,
that camo is slick and those wheels are slick as well, but like I said, I got to stick with 17's. I don't ride them year round, I pop these bad boys on in the winter.
