What size? That really makes a difference in appearance despite the actual styling. The other thing that determines if they look aiiite is how much they cost, cuz you might be able to get ones that look wicked pissa (sorry, i'm from boston) for the same price.

Just judging from the looks i'd say they could be kinda cool, but to reminiscent of the stock rims for my taste. For me the point of rims is to get as far from a stock look as possible!

Those are Mazda rims, and I like them, depending on their size. I would atleast shoot for a 17in rim or the RX7 rims.
