New Wheels... Keep 'em or Got To Go??

Im lookin for opinions on my new wheels. Im not really feeling them, but i got such a good deal on them, i couldnt say no. So should i keep em on there, or sell em? or






PS. My Eibach Sportlines will be installed later this month... should eliminate the gap nicely.

I love the color... They are a smoked chrome, but i think diablo is right, they need to be more aggresive. I think i want something more "TUNERish" more industrial maybe (hard to explain). These wheels seem like they belong on a stock Mazda3 or something.

I paid $75 a wheel. Marked down from $245 a wheel. They were brand new, but the tire store put a little nick in the outer rim when they put it in the tire mounting machine. Its hardly noticeable because of the color.

Eibach Sportlines are sitting in the shed, and getting installed later this month.

Once the car is lowered they will look much better.
