So, my GMC truck is gone and replacing it is a 2013 Scion xB. It needs new wheels really bad, steelies and hubcaps just don't cut it! So here are some pictures of the wheels I am considering, help me choose! I LOVE the 5 spoke look, so I am gonna stick with that, but there are subtle differences in the wheels that can make or break the look. Any and all input is welcome. If you know of a wheel that might look better, post a pic.

Pretty soon if anyone ever wants to buy a vehicle they can just ask Glenn for a review, he is being close to having owned them all.
 
I went for 6 because it's just a BIT more aggressive with out being too over the top and I hate double spokes...... Because they are a bitch to clean :D

Can't talk my kid into doing it anymore :(
 
You guys are narrowing down to the same ones I am. Chad, the double spoke cleaning may changed my mind LOL
 
I'd opt for either 8 or 12. I can't talk though, as I have a multi spoke alloy on a celica gt4 and I think it looked better than the original wheels that were on it when I got it. :)
 
I voted 5 or 8. I think the wheels need to be "solid looking" and not busy.

Easy to clean is another bonus. Unless you are a masochist.
 
I voted 5 and 12. I'm not a big fan of split spoke 5 spokes on smaller cars. They can look nice with bigger wheel sizes, but I prefer the straight up 5 spokes.
 
I voted three....but the numbers are confusing. The second pic is the one I like. I think for the car the rest have a performance look that belies the nature and capabilities of the ride. Of course, I feel the look of the wheel should blend with the car, not look out of place there......just my 2¢…
 
6 is my favorite of the bunch. Always preferred more slender spokes anyway. Would have been funny if you would have put the rims with hearts in them on the list as a joke just to see how many votes they got.
 
I saw these this morning on an Xb, it looked good.

The only problem that I have with #5 is that it's too flat (for lack of a better term). I think it needs some sort of lip or edge to break up the face. If this spokes were inset just a bit, I think it would be a winner.
