they sort of look like vip rims, but i think they would look good depending on how your xb takes shape

My BSP is on order, and I am having the same Dilemma.

I am torn between getting black rims with a silver lip, which may look too wierd on a black car.

Or just going safe and getting silver rims.

If anyone has a BSP with black rims, please post picks.

I personally think the black will be too much on our cars...I am leaning towards silver.

The one thing that narrow spoke black rims do show off is the brake disks.

Hubby and I have an 08 BSP with TSW Hyper Silver wheels, and I really love the look... Subtle yet refined...

Chrome is flashier and black is more obscure; choose what you are happiest with!
