Default Opinions on New wheels on the 4 door!!!

Debating whether to keep these, i just picked them up today and they look good but the car has to be completely dumped to look good to me. Should i just have them sprayed a different color? Opinions, Suggestions, Hating whatever comments you want to post are welcomed.

(P.S.) I know I have a broken stud and the lip needs to be painted.

they are Kosei K1's

On with the pictures.





UPDATE:
Starting playing with an idea today... what do you think

If they were 15s/16s they would be perfect.

WAY too big for my tastes, though.

thanks for the compliments. I have had 15's, 16's and 17's. 16's look good to me but i have trouble finding the right tire combo for some reason. 17's eh well you know some people hate it and some people love it. It being a 4dr i think it can pull it off a little better than others. I'm probably gonna ride em for a while, while i save up and get something else. I really don't know what wheels I want.

I've had TE37's, GTP's, Rotas, Enkei's but i just can't find something i'm completely satisfied with. I guess thats why we are called wheel ******.

mmm not really feeling them with that size on that car with that color. Not being funny or sarcastic but the white makes the rim look an extra size larger. And the puny brakes arent helping much either.

I'm fine with 17s but I'm not feeling these....I dunno if it's the color, tires or brakes, but they look more like 18s to me. I'd suggest getting some bigger brakes and maybe getting a little more sidewall, maybe even polishing the wheels.
