Default need help choosing wheel size

Ok here is my dilema ( i know i spelled it wrong). well i would like to get some 17's or 18's, but money is a little bit of an issue, i would probably get a credit card and charge them. But the real big question for me is will 15's look good on an xB too? Im trying to figure out if I bought 15 that would fit the stock tires, would they still make my box look as good as 17's? Im probably gonna go with a lot of spokes or a 5 spoke like the trd wheels. If anybody can help me out on this i would greatly appreciate it. Also if anyone has pics of 15's on an xB let me know or post them on this topic. Thanks!

Do you want comfort or to show-off? Bigger wheels will look better but will take away comfort. Go with 17" or 18"

I like the functionality of 15" Wheels. If you get a good set it will be lighter then stock, that has a lot of advantages in its self. Also with 15"s you get more side wall for a better ride & less chance of damaging your rim. Now the modern trend seems to be bigger is better. Some 15" look good but most people will say 17"+ look good. If you are low on cash maybe also look into a good set of 16". Another thing to look into is tires. When you go with most tires for a 16+ size wheel you get less treadwear, so would you be willing to buy new tires every 30,000 miles or so?

I my self would say go with what you want to. You can buy some cheap 17s of thats what you want.. The main thing to recall though is you get what you pay for. How much you looking to spend / have to spend.
