The current ones came with the car and I don't really like them all that much. I think it is mainly because they are black. What about just painting them so they aren't black? I don't know I still have plenty of time to think about it this isn't happening right away.

Cool, thanks Nick.

The wheels that I really want, but can't afford right now, are BBS 16'' RG-F. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand
My thinking is I'm tired of black wheels and it wouldn't cost much more to get those and tires then to just get tires for the current wheels. New tires are $600 and I have no spare. These wheels and tires would be $800 for five. Tires for the current wheels are twice as much. These wheels are purely from an economic point of view. That being said, would I be better off to just wait until I can afford BBS? What is going to be bad about wheels made in China?
