Question Opinions/help w/ wheels

Ok so its getting closer to christmas and im in the market to find myself some new wheels. im looking for a not too expensive set.

im leaning towards a 5 spoke gloss back with a machined lip type. i found these Axis Reverbs which i think look pretty good. im going for a clean black set of wheels to finish up my BB 8.

so first of all what do you guys think of these wheels? not a bad price and simple look.



heres a pic of my car currently:



so any opinions on these wheels or any suggestions of other wheels?

Wow. You just bought a FD and now you're looking to buy new wheels for the SE? I wish I had your cash.

I can't really help you since I'm not a fan of black wheels with polished lips, but do post pictures or come to one of our meets!

What did you do to your stock wheels? Just paint 'em glossy black?

A local Mazda dealer had the Axis Reverbs on a showroom car. It was also on a Brilliant Black.. Looked really good actually. I was considering these too as a cheap replacement for stock wheels.

You should also check out the Jaz Hero wheels. They're come in black and are inexpensive too.

In a world where money is no object, everyone would be rollin' on Volks, but some of us don't have $2K to drop on wheels.
