What's up everyone,

Getting my new 09 blackberry xb next week so excited to part of the group here. Everyone seems cool and helpful an no attitude which is fresh.

I'm looking to get some 18" rims but don't know all much about rims/tires or sites to buy from. Here are the 2 choices I'm looking at, trying to keep it simple and clean and not too blinged out, let me know what you guys think. I really would appreciate any advice on the TIRES listed on the sites below with the rims I chose cause I know the least about tires. Would be nice to get an all weather ones, ones that ride good without too much noise and look good without dropping my mpg too much. I know I don't want the Radial N3000 Nexen as those seem designed mostly for speed. Appreciate all the help. Will hopefully have some pics to post soon!

Option #1:

http://www.performanceplustire.com/products/packages/applicationID/10132/searchType/searchByVehicle/year/2008/makeID/620/modelID/8703/btnSubmit/View%20Products%20and%20Prices/wheelSize/18/manufacturerID/32/wheelDataID/9690#prodAnchor

Option #2:

http://www.performanceplustire.com/products/packages/applicationID/10132/searchType/searchByVehicle/year/2008/makeID/620/modelID/8703/btnSubmit/View%20Products%20and%20Prices/wheelSize/18/manufacturerID/131/wheelDataID/17858#prodAnchor


Here's a link to a real quick photoshop of the rims on the xb. Thanks for any advice and opinions!

Welcome to NSxB bmorescionxb!!

i would go w/ option 2 myself - i like the polished rim and it has a nice lip.

you will have to decide on the tires though, check some tire sites for reviews of the ones you are interested in...

check out my wheel pics for some other possibilities here:
