I like whitewalls, and I think they'd look good on those wheels, but... you need to drop it, otherwise, it'll look odd.

The drop ain't comin' anytime soon... I live in Michigan.

No Go, unliss I get some coilovers or bags... both of which are WAY outta my budget.

Then, honestly, I wouldn't do it.

The white profile will draw even more attention to the wheel gap.

Even a modest drop would help... I'm in Chicago and I'm down 2" no problems.

I think whitewalls can work on a xB, but you have to go full-on with the retro/ratrod theme. Combined with more modern elements it doesn't flow.

Here's an example of it working-

Also a Woody theme works well (still could use a drop tho IMO)

i like it with the new rims tho, b/c the ones pictures don't look good imo. but like the other guy said you'll need to drop it, go all the way or don't even start. it'll look half@ss and stupid w/o a drop. no disrepect, just my opinion.

Like they said, if you whitewall you'd need classic rims, chrome moon or spoked, and preferrably other "classic" elements like chrome mirrors and grill. With the rally lip and all black paint I would not do it.

I hate the woody look, but, that one is so well executed, I'll let it slide.
