go bigger honestly, smaller the rims the thicker the tire. And to me that looks plain ugly.

I have Pacer rims and Kumo P195/60R15's. I drive up to 250 miles a day and just didn't like the ride you get from the 18 and 19 inch rims. I think the combination I have actually made for a better riding and handling car. [/img]

I saw BLeek's camo xB the other day. IIRC, he's running tein s-tech springs (-1.7 in.) and has the OEM wheels/hubcaps/tires on for the winter. It looked much better than with stock ride height.
I think a nice set of 15s would be fine...lowering the car an inch or two makes all the visual difference in the world!!! Increased rim diameter is just icing on the cake.

I think these are the 15" revolutions on Dunlops that Mac'N Cheese (?) was running and then selling late last year for the smokin' deal of $700: https://www.scionlife.com/xb/wp3_800.jpg (Apologies if I'm wrong; they look similar). Anyway, deep dish 15s are sweet looking if you ask me. I had 17s on 215/45s, but they rubbed occassionally. Also, bigger is heavier. Now that I am back on stock 15s I get the occasional second gear chirp. Reason enuf to stay small. Better ride, too. But I agree that no matter what size, a drop helps tons in the looks dept.

I had 17's w/ a 45 side wall, lowered on tanabe df210's (2 inch drop) and the ride was horrible, handleing suffered and acceleration was diminished. I went to a 15 w/ a 50 sidewall and I love it! I think coil overs would improve the looks a bit, but other than that I am very happy. Ipersonnally think that my car looked better w/ 17's but the ride was just too much to take every day.

NICE! This is the best lookin' wheel setup I have seen yet on an xB, and one of the best on any car, period. It's pretty much perfect IMO. (In otherwords, lemme know if you ever decide to sell again...)
