Default can these wheels be saved

i got these wheels cheap and put them on my car because they had new tires.
never really liked them but ive grown on to them

do they look good or out of place on the car.
i have some slips im polishing at the moment but wondering if stock si's would look better

would they look better all black.

everything and anything looks good fully polished.

only way i can see those wheels being saved is polished, and maybe all white.

they look like wed rs5 replica

Yeah.. never liked those type of rims.. just reminds me soo much of those cheapass rims you see left and right on Craigslist..

Sell those for cheap and put on your Slips or SI's..

those white wedsports look good to me. I say fully polish but it will definitely be a lot of work.

they don't look bad, but a revamp would be key....you have the uniqueness going for you, I don't see many cars with those wheels
