Keep HX rims or go BLING BLING?
just kidding guys. 
By bling i mean some 15" emotion replicas that have been posted up before by Fridexter goin for $350. Don't give me any of that replica bullshit, I can't afford no baller JAYdm rims or nothing, so don't come in here knockin me for thinkin bout replicas.
I absolutely love my hx rims, but I would like to run some meaty 205 tires for some more grip, and 205/50/14 is just funky. here's how my car looks right now. What would you do?
here are the emotion knockoffs.

now it is split 50/50
I used to have HXs, and still love them. I painted the H on the center cap red and it looked real nice..something you could try if you keep them

Re: (camelian)
hard decision...i would say..buy the new wheels but..keep the HX's in the garage(in case you regret it or ..need cash in the future) ..you would never have a problem selling those ..ever...love to see a photoshop of those new wheels on your car..anyone?

Re: (buckethead36)
is your car a HX?
the rims may be small, but they are literally half the weight of the 16" rims I got...
one HX rim weighed about 22lbs with tire fully inflated

if you get bigger rims, I'd recemmend getting bigger brakes in the front..HX ones are really tiny . You have to use a spacer or rub the caliper down to fit HX rims on the EX/SI

Re: (Eg_Egg)
For $350 for the Work replicas, can't go wrong with that. I'd say whatever you think looks best, you'll enjoy looking at your car if you get a set of wheels that you actually like. But either way, it'll look good.
