Wheel suggestions for my black 8?

So I'm in the new market for wheels and will probably be sellin my oem wheels to help pay for them (only 450 miles on my car so far).

I was thinking about Axis hiro 18's cause I love how they look, but I dont know if I want to spend that much on wheels alone. My 8 is black and I am not really sure what would match it well.

I like the antracite hiro's but also like the hyper silver. Would the silver ones look good on a black car?

Other wheel suggestions under 1k for the set would be appreciated too.

Thanks.

Any opinions on these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rota-...QQcmdZViewItem

I kinda like the 5 spoke style, but I also like the style I had on my old RX7


Here is my new black 8 just to show you guys what I am talkin about

For black almost any rim color loks good. Black is the only color car I like black rims on, but I also like the silver look too, just please no chrome. Gold isn't bad either.

So I was looking at this company that sells wheels and picked out a few different options I kinda liked in addition to the Hiros.

http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...lor=HYPERBLACK

This next one in black or hyper black

http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...lor=HYPERBLACK

http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...lor=HYPERBLACK

The next ones in black or silver too
http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...LOSS%20FINISH)

I am not really worried about weight, just seeing what I think looks good.
