Thoughts on Velocity Red, Gunmetal w/ Chrome Lip?

[Blehhh]

Anyone else think these would look good on a velo red mazda 3 at 17"? It's been my plan for a while now, but just wanted to see what you guys thought before I pull the trigger. Studded snows are definitely ready to come off, and it's now or never if I want to new wheels.

I think they look pretty sweet, I like 10 spokes on our cars. I say go for it!

look's okay, but I would paint the inside of the rim in white and leave the lip polished, that would look great. White rims look good on red cars
You got a sedan or a hatch?

Hatch, and I love how it looks. I like it more than the speed, to be honest. I don't know that I'd try to pull off white wheels, though. The brake dust, oh god...

My concern really is the actual shape of the spokes. The stock ones flare out at the ends and it just suits the organic lines of the car so well. These are all pointy, and they trun inward at the ends, unlike the stocks. It's a gamble I guess.

I feel like I have to spend money no matter what I do though, so I might as well spend a tad more IF I can come out with something I like. My options are basically:

1) Unmount my snows, remount my summers.... every year = $120+/yr.
2) Unmount my snows, remount my summers and buy 17" steelies next winter = $280.
3) Buy these DR9s, buy the spacers, mount the summers on 'em = $500.

I feel like everything is so perfectly balanced to make this an agonizing decision, especially when my money could go under the hood, or towards a new gaming rig, or a mountain bike.
