I think polish looks good in certain instances, especially on the sawblades, but...I don't think polished will look good on my xB the way it's setup right now, plus I don't personally like chrome/polish on any of my cars...

UPDATE --
I got my all four fenders rolled today, also did a slight pull for now. According to Fedex, my tires will be getting here tomorrow sometime. My adapters were finished yesterday but they missed the truck for shipping, but I'm in the process of getting them shipped overnight or 2-day express currently. Hopefully I'll get them tomorrow as well.
Best case scenario, I can get everything buttoned up tomorrow and see if I need anymore pulling done on the fenders. But I should be able to clear everything without any more fender work.
Worst case scenario, I don't get the adapters till next week, which means I won't be able to rock the new setup to Import Alliance.
I'm supposed to be getting a call back shortly from Motorsport-Tech about the shipping situation and we'll go from there. I'm getting super excited though, hopefully I won't hit anymore snags...

Looky looky what I got today!!
205/45/17 on a 8.5'' rim
215/45/17 on a 9.5'' rim
Rear fitment
I think that this looks perfect!! BIG Thanks to Cionide, Neek, Pasquale, Marshall for all the patience they had while I asked my questions over and over!! It's because of these guys knowledge I was able to pull this off!!
BIG BIG THANKS to Jr. and Motorsport-Tech for making and shipping the custom 31mm adapters in less than a week
Ditto to Jonathan and onlinetires.com for finding me the last set of Federals in the size I needed and shipping them to my house in 4 days
Ditto to Stephen at Elite Audio for having patience with me in regards to rolling and pulling my fenders! I think I found a good friend in Stephen as well!!
I'll def. be posting more pics, car is extremely dirty right now, plus I'm freakin beat! I manage to break a wheel stud during removal of my stock rims, luckily I had a spare stud around and I changed it. But all the work and $$ was well worth it in the end. But for everybody else enjoy the pics and I do believe that I'm the first 2nd gen to rock this setup!!! Hell yeah!!

You're very welcome... and yea, I would say you're the one and only to rock these wheels. They look great with your drop! I'm glad you decided to go with the 17's instead of trying to force the funky width and offsets of the smaller 16's.

Theres a white box in puerto rico with the same wheels, but who cares as long as the owner likes it why does it have to matter if someone else has the same setup
