Need Rims, Need Ideas

Whatsup guys,

The winter is coming along and I'm in need of new wheels. Was looking to get stock 17s but I am still confused. I don't want to spend too much and the stock rims are in my budget but I need ideas as to what I can do to make them look better because I don't just want to throw the stock 17s on the car. I want to do something different...

I was thinking of powdercoating them gunmetal to match the Anthracite. Anybody have any other ideas? Please help.

I do have the A-Spec package but my rims are a little messed up so I want to take them off for the winter and get them fixed and then have them put back on during the summer...

You could always get some 17" lightweight rims Give it kind of a JDM-ish look?

if you want to go really cheap and need some good snow tires, look into the 03-07 honda accord 16 inch rims that have a steel finish.

I like those but how much are they? I googled them but they didn't seem to be for sale anywhere...

The rotas are available at subydude.com... I believe in size 18 (which will allow you to keep your tires should you choose too, I remember you had a titty on one of yours though) but um price wise they are 17 - ~$700 18- ~$800
