Dukes all the way, clean and simple. the gernades are nice but they look like copies of works. Ive seen pics of them on a xb2 and it wasnt my taste... just my 2cents though...

I agree Im not a fan on the white unless you have the white accents like the works.. I cant wait to debut my new wheels. I know noone has them on a XB2 yet.

Gerades will have better resale value.....

I personally love the dukes' and find that they have much more Pfactor but those wheels if scratched face will be next to impossible to ever return to original finish.

There's a really nice set of Leon Hardritt's in nice fitment for the xB2 on rbwheels.com . they also have a nice set of Work Euroline SL's that are around 2k. either way with your budget, there are alot of nice options.

I believe its the other way around..... alot of the well known companies that we all love here in the states are copies of other OG wheels in the land of the rising sun.

Funny how alot of the high priced companies here in the US are regarded so highly..... yet companies like Enkei that have been engineering and racing for years are knocked at..... Enkei wheels have been rollin' on F1 cars for years now..... where as some of these other guys finally got 1 F1 car and its all promotion from there on..... funny how the market works.
