Axis Decades ftw! Much cooler IMO. I would've gotten Decades had they came in black/polished, but the Mods suit me just fine. (When they are actually on the car and aren't bent or have nails in the tires!)

Jack, check out the UK's ebay and search for opel, astra, renault, etc. A ton of those cars use 5x110 with the similar offsets. There are a large amount of aftermarket wheels for these cars that you don't see often, plus a lot of factory wheels that look aftermarket. If you are willing to go through some trouble getting them from the UK, it could open up your options.
