Well i caved in and spent some money. Finally got a set of rims for the box.

This is what i ended up with.

They are a 17 x 7.

Is any one else rocking these rims?

What do you all think.

When i get in and on the box i will post some picks.

 

They're not really my style.

 

Bling Bling

 

How much do they weigh?

 

I hope you have a good supply of elbow grease. They look unique, reminds me of a blinged out fire department logo.

 

Knuckle busters

 

they kinda look like the Dropstars

 

Nice. Now go buy some chrome polish and elbow grease. You'll need it. Can't wait to see them on.

 

Ya i am sure they will take a couple of minuntes to polish up!!!!

I was looking for a rim that looked a little different, to many people in my town have a spoked rim. and i figured the box has a unique look might aswell get a rim with a unique look.

As for the weight of the rim they are 26.5 lbs.

What would you all recomend using for a good chrome polish?

I should get them monday, and i will post pics when i do.

Always good when someone does something different to their rides. Atleast it's not ANOTHER set of out-dated, boring-looking "You gotta get JDM" wheels.

 

im interested to see these on... what size tires are you gonna be running?

 

Mothers polish. Mothers everything. It's the best.

 

Tire wise i will have 205/ 40/17

 

yeah ur probably wann drop that b down a few inches once you slap them pups on

 

Ya i am looking at a set of tanabe springs. So i figured a 205 should give me no clearance probs.

 

nice

 

yeah i have 17's and i run that size tires. im sittin on skunk2's which were rated for around a 2 inch drop. wish it dropped alittle more in the back but all in all im happy with the stance. the tires are perfect size tho no rubbing issues.. i thinking of switching up the wheels and camber to run a stretched tire but i dont know much about it... all i know is the stretched tire look is hot.

 

Well i got totaly F*cked. My rim guy called me and let me know i will be waiting 6 to 8 weeks for thse rims. The distrabutor has no stock and wil not recive any for at least 6 weeks.

So now after saying i wont to be different and not use a spoke rim have dicided to go with my second pic.

Ya i know it spoked and i said i did not wont a sopke, but what do you all think.

Latter,

i like you 2nd choice better that the 1st

 

I would consider 215/40 instead. Most 205/40s are undersiaed and not weight rated for the xB. Plus the ride will be nicer with 215/40.
