Default Exel Pak-5: What do you guys think?

I think the the style and the gunmetal color of that rim would look good with a camo xB.
The only thing that I personally don't like about them is how the 4 lug pattern is not symetrical with the rest of the rim.

Notice how the 4 lug pattern cuts into some of the polished spokes.... that's what I don't like.

i love the wheels styling, but as MCG XB pointed out, i dont like how the bolt pattern is not symmetrical with the rest of the wheel. other than that, i was interested enough to see what they looked like and i did a photoshop of them on my girlfriend's camo xB. these are the same size as the 18's that i covered.

i went to wheelmax.com and noticed that these wheels are 17's. so they will be smaller than the 18's i put in the photoshop.

yeah good call on the four lug pattern. Too bad I was thinkin bout getting them just doesn't look right to me now. What they could have done is move the pattern alittle and make it semetrical.

I have some on my xB very similar to those. Check out my registry and you'll see the pic there. I have 17's in gunmetal and they match perfectly with my thundercloud.

I'm glad that I was able to bring the lug pattern issue to your attention.

Regardless of the 4 lug pattern issue I that I have with these wheels, the ones on your thundercloud xB look great. I really like how the color in the wheels matches so well with the rest of the vehicle.
