hey there I have a sunburst orange aS well, I just bought similar rims ASA JH8's (black center w/ polished edges)!!! IMO it's going to be a pain in the butt to clean around those little bolt heads.... otherwise I think those will look great

Hey man , in the end its your call . If you like em , thats all that should matter . But I would have to say no , jus because personally I hate rivets in wheels and also hate it when the lugs have a cover over them .

Black rims are always the way to go, but suburbanrobot's got a point, those would be a beeyatch to keep really clean

I like them, however I am not a fan of the lugs covered either. Otherwise I love them. All in all it has to be something you love because you drive it everyday and have to live with how it looks.

I'm going to do the "painted rims mod"...I'm frugal! They will look good though...I agree with cleaning around those little bolts...that would suck!

I also have a sunburst orange balt and I went with something similar which is BSA 333 which are a 6 spoke rim with about a 2.5 to 3 inch polished lip.

the rim I bought

hey there mike 25 here is a link to the rim I bought... 20 lbs. per rim...it's a bit cleaner w/o the little rivets. I plan on using them in the winter for snows and summer w/ stickies for driving events

I bought the 17" x 8"'s version

IMO be careful buying cheaper rims as they don't have the same integrity as a more expensive name brand....it's better to hold out a few extra months and save the $$$$
needed... after all you will be keeping them for at least 3 years I would hope.
