You guys think these would look good on a PWxB? I am going for the clean modded look and I was thinking since these are "clean" looking that they'd fit well. What do you guys think?

I like the design - clean.
I don't like any wheel with decorative screws or bolts. Lots of cleaning/polishing time.

Yeah that's the one downfall of the wheel. I'm not into the screws or bolts either. Especially when they are just decorative and not there for a purpose other than looking like a multi piece wheel

there are so many nice wheels out there that the manufacturer ruins with fake socket head bolts or chrome rivets.

I've been searching tirelessly trying to find a pic of these on an xB. I can't find one though. I guess that's a good and bad thing. Good b/c it doesn't seem anyone has them and if they do it's very few. Bad b/c I can't see them on the car before I make my decision. LOL I'm the pickiest guy in the world about wheels so it's going to take me forever to choose. Wheels are a huge decision in the design of a car so you can make or break your car with them. If anyone has any suggestions on a wheel that would go well with a cleanly modded car, please let me know. By clean I mean no wild paint job or crazy grilles or anything. Just a straight forward modded car.

If you're über picky about whees, make sure you get ones you really like, or you'll be selling them in no time. That's what happens (yes, it's happened more than once) to me.

If you don't mind a suggestion, I think these would look great on a PW xB:

I had these wheels, which are actually A-Tech Erasers with an MB Centercap (that can get popped right out), on my 1998 Prelude. I love them. I currently have the MB Motorsport Boost, which is actually an A-Tech Finalspeed.

Nice wheels! Now my next thing is that I'd like a wheel with a polished lip. Do they have those that come in gunmetal or black with a polished lip?

Unfortunately, no. www.discounttiredirect.com is having a pretty good sale on some of their wheels, so check them out.

I agree... keep looking... skip anything with the fake bolts/rivets.

You guys have any other suggestions? I've seriously spent 15+ hours this past week looking for wheels. I feel like I've exhausted all my resources. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would make a recommendation for a reasonably priced clean looking wheel with a machined face, but my wife would kill me if I did. She likes the fact that she doesn't see a million other cars with her wheels.

All I can say is keep searching. When you find the "perfect wheel," you'll know. Just keep in mind that the wheel might cost a bit more than a lot of the bargain bin stuff everyone is picking up off of ebay, etc.

All I will say is seach for posts from me. I have mentioned in the past what wheels she has. Also, some of the sites that sell them don't actually list them as fitting the xB when you do searches by vehicle.

Good luck.
