no, se's painted in general ar disgusting. they look clean as they are. just save up for decent rims. id get bronze or white instead of gold though. and keep the red. my very last choice would be gold though. do you have a full picture of the car

I not sure about the OEM's gold. I've been stuck on this http://www.rimtuck.com/thumbna...to=94& for the past few hours. And something fun to play with http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp If you look at the stickies you find all kinds of goodies from yesteryear too

there are a lot of wheels you can get on a budget for 1300

just make SURE they are:8 or 9 inches widewith an offset of +25 or lowerpreferably +20 and lower.

Why does it say "Drifting" on your front end?

If you aren't going to lower your car you can put the best wheels ever on it and they won't help the look at all.

I guarantee this 100%

Edit: Sorry if I'm coming off harsh, my opinion is that you need to lower a car before new wheels are put on it.
