i like the big rims on the 08 xB but I think the rims really need some deep dish action going on for it to look REALLY cool. i'm not a fan of wheels with zero lip except for the exe konkave wheels which look almost like the ones above... but the konkaves HAVE to be on a car that has a lot of curves for it to look good.
just my opinion.

Overall IMO I have never found the xB to be proportionally or visually interesting enough car for rims.
Any rims, they never look right no matter how big or how dropped, there is too much room between the front and back wheels and too much room from the wheel well to the top of the car. Which is why someone told you that they look small. There is a lot more car, than wheel. Same problem with SUV's and rims, thats why they have to go so big, its the only way they can try to in someway make it look more proportional and aesthetically pleasing but IMO they always fail.
They will just never look right, just awkward, but that is just my 2 cents.
Not a fan of the new xB's either, looks like they took the old one, and put it in the microwave let it melt for a bit.
