The Works are my next choice. But they run in the mid 300's for a 15" wheel. :o Check out this xB though. Custom carbon fiber overlays, complete color change, etc.








I love these Revolution 4-spoke classics, but the 8" width is only available in a 13" wheel. Don't think that would look right on the xB.

Not many cars can pull off mixing the old with the new, but the xB seems to be able to pull it off perfectly.

Well...I think this seller is flaking out on me. Haven't heard anything since Tuesday on whether or not he is going to sell them to me. I figured since he has been flaked out on quite a few times earlier this month that my "I have the money waiting for you now" offer would work. Guess not.


Curious what you guys think about these wheels. They are NKB 16-inchers. The ones on the xB are 16x8 NKB Mesh, the ones on the xA are 16x8 NKB Cups. I can get the Cups in a 15 if I wish. I'm kind of leaning towards the Cups for more of a clean look, plus I can get them in the smaller 15" diameter since that is the look I want to accomplish.

xB:



xA:




But I'm open to suggestions. If you guys know of any deep-dish 15's that aren't outrageously priced and preferably with the "old school" flavor, please post up your ideas. I may just end up ordering a set of the Revolutions if this guy does flake on me...I just love the way they look on the box.

There is also something called the Nissan Cube that looks very much like the bB. I thing the bB was the first of this type of styling of microvans when it hit dealerships in '99. Not completely sure though.

No, it has a Honda badge on it, and the Cube looks surprisingly different (IMO, as far as boxes go) than the bB. I know Honda made a box that looked exactly like a bB though, and I think came around at the same time or earlier.
