no go on wheels.

Those American Racing Estrella wheels that I picked up real cheap a few weeks back are not going to be worth the time and money that I have to put into them to make them fit my SE. The pro shop near me wants almost as much to re-drill and polish them than it costs to buy new ones.

Anyway, there are some decent wheels on Ebay that I'm interested in. I'm looking for 16X7's aluminum alloy. What do you guys think about the ones that have the black painted trim? My SE is silver, so I was thinking that the black would accent the silver on the car and on the wheels. But, I never had a wheel with paint, so I'm not sure about the maintenance and upkeep.

I really like the Konig Britelite. How do you think that will look on my SE? Does anyone have these on their 7 that I can see a pic? Keep in mind that I'm on a tight budget. I'm open to other suggestions. I like some of the Enkei wheels too.

Mike

Thanks electric man. That's exactly what I was looking for. Nice SE by the way. All the pics of the 1st gens on the forum are great for seeing different wheels on our 7's, but most of them don't say what brand and size they are.
