Default What's everyone doing for rims?

Hey everyone. I've looked at the 18" and 19" rims from the dealer and I like them but I think my soon to be owned flint mica would look good with a gunmetal rim. Is anyone else looking around already for rims to put on it because i'm looking for ideas. And also who's going with 18s or 19s?? 19s would look sweet i bet. Thanks in advance guys and girls.....Counting the days

The stock wheels are fine. I don't even think they're ugly like on most vehicles out of the factory. Anything above 17 inches on this car is going to be purely for looks anyway. I'd rather spend money on the stereo, intake/exhaust, and maybe even some little appearance items instead.

The stock rims do look great on the tC. I will probably keep those.

I just changed to a different hubcap, I don't have the pic posted to a server so I can't show you. Its a large chrome dish, makes for a retro look back to a fifties panel truck. I makes the xB look larger from a distance. Look at mooneyes.com, exterior parts, wheel accessories, hubcap spacer.

Its not that the stock rims aren't nice... sometimes people just like to be different.

Will keep the stock rims and spend $$ upgrading the stereo.

Do the optional 18" and 19" wheels look the same as the 17"s, just bigger? Or is it a totally different design?

those 19s are so cool... too bad they'll rub and they'll cost a fortune.

I'm guessing the top image is the 18's and the bottom the 19's?

Yeah, the top is 18s and the bottom are the 19s. That picture really doesn't do the 19 justice. I actually like them a lot better now that I saw this pic.
