Ok so I'm looking at new rims for my xB.. I know I'm going with 17s. and they have to be black...that said I have it narrowed to 2 different wheels.  ok I know these aren't rare, or high end wheels so I don't want to hear any of that.  What I want is opinions.

first Drag DR-23's in matte black.



Second DRIFZ 518 Gunmetal Glosss



let me know what you think

The only problem you'l have with the first wheel is That it's a EXACT copy of the Rota Slipstream, which isn't an expensive wheel to begin with. You might get a lot of heckeling for it.

I've had two sets of slipstreams and they are great wheels. One set was matte black and the other was a charcoal finish that I never ended up mounting on my car. (both sets were for my sentra)


I like the 2nd wheel. Looks nice.

I keep going back and forth...Yesterday I was set on the flat black rims, but today I'm now at this thought process, if I do the flat black rims, they would look best in a 15 not a 17, but I want to go with 17s so I think number 2 would look better... aaagh.. why does this have to be so hard!

17s ICW Racing Taboos, with Nitto Gens... I love them!

Hopefully not the same rims!  I had to add 10 mm hub spacers to avoid some possible rubbing issue.  it also pushes the wheels out to be more flush.
