Default Opinions, thoughts on these rims?

I'm considering putting these SSC 15"s on my Blue Onyx Pearl 2006 xB. Anyone have any experience with SSC's? Any opinions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Is there any of Photoshop pros here, that could Photoshop these rims on my xB:

I don't really like them but then again I am not a fan of 18 spoke wheels/ twin 9 spoke (whatever you want to call them) the color would look good though. just my $.02

Personally, I think they look *way* too small for the car. I would say go with at least 17s...I was torn between 17s and 18s and I finally inched it up and went 18. I am really glad I did.

I like the style of the rim, but I wonder how tough it would be to keep all those nooks and crannies clean. The other thing i see with them is that the spokes flush to the edge of the rim, and you could get some curbrash on the spokes.

just my .02

They are too busy for me,and they look a bit small.The drop helps but I would go with at least a 17.I'll bet they would be a dog to clean.Remember it's your car so go with what you like!

15's are all I can afford! Good thing I like em!
Where do you guys buy your rims? I'm not looking to spend alot of money on them, and I'm not too fussy, I just want something nicer looking than hubcaps. Any ideas?
