Found some...but some things i don't like. Don't like the white letters on the wheels, don't like the red center cap and don't like that the lugs aren't painted black too..other than that...I think they look pretty sweet. what do you guys think?

the white lettering is on the tires. but like u, i don't care for the white lettering or the red caps either. as for all the other stuff u don't like, just go all black. u may even be able to find some black lug bolts. or just replace them with studs and get black lugs. the hood scoop can go too.

Photoshop that pic and take out the white letters..... that will give you a better idea if you like it!

I don't have photoshop, but I did try it with MS Paint. Have decided that the look is good but not entirely black. Will paint my rims with a semigloss black and will leave the silver lug bolts. I'll post pictures when I'm done.

My vote would be for a charcoal grey/ metallic black. Wouldn't match moulding, but would look a little like some other rims I've seen, not Mazda, Konigs?

Make sure you clean them real nice or the paint wont stick.

Mine are black. The previous owner did it.

It makes it look like a completely different wheel.

I agree, at least leave a polished lip if nothing else.

I have some pictures of Blake's car on my computer at home. If any one remembers he had a really clean Red gsl-se with black wheels, it looked really good. After seeing his car if/when ever I get a se I will definitely have a set of Black se wheels for it.

Looks awesome. Do you by any chance know the wheel size dimensions he used?
