Default Phantom Grey Hatch with Subzeros but would Si wheels look better?

Here is a few pics of my current wheels. The wheels are 15x7 rota subzeros. I think they look good sometimes but i also cant help to feel like a gangster or thug when driving the car with those wheels which is why i want something a little more stock. Any suggestions or photo magic people out there to help me out?


Good Angles





Bad Angles, they look too dark sometimes and kinda look too gangster i think





So i guess what my real question is, are these wheels still in style? I was thinking of trading them for a set of 99-00 si wheels. Good or bad idea? I have never seen them on phantom grey

I had both SubZero's and SI's on my old Phantom Grey hatch, I'd keep the Rotas. Just paint them if you want to change it up

Yeah, SI wheels would look a lot more subtle and oem. If that's the look you're going for.

Personally, I just don't like the black wheel w/ polished lip look..

I had solid steelgrey ones on mine..

Gangster's don't drive Honda's. Keep them and change them up by way of painting the spokes or lip, or both.
