Just skimmed your thread for pics of the wheels. Yeah, can't say I'm feeling them and being flat black isn't helping much. While they're clean, they just don't have any pizazz...don't really work with the car. You're lucky you have all the 5x114 wheels in the world out there though. I could make a million suggestions (not even expensive ones), but it's not my car
Honestly, I would like to know why you're not a fan of the wheels. What exactly is it about them? I'm not one for chrome/polished lips(In fact I really, really don't like) and black wheels are just my thing.

Because I'm at college and I don't have the time, space, money, or tools here to do a 5spd swap. I stay in a cheap dorm that's in the middle of campus, so there's absolutely no place to do it. Believe me, trading up was the best thing for me.

Why exactly do you not like the wheels? I'm really curious, just to see why people on here seem to think they, as well as my car, are the ugliest thing they've ever seen?
