What do you think of these rims on a black 99 SE-L?
OK, after spending days looking for wheels which look good, sporty, and are relatively cheap, here is what I found:
Now, I know this poll is somewhat ambiguous, but if you vote, be courteous enough to leave feedback. I will be straightforward here - I ONLY like black, graphite, gun-metal and overall dark, sporty wheels and I much dislike any chrome wheels whatsoever, so don't take offense.
In addition, I will ONLY buy wheels with what I like to call a "lip", a big "lip". This lip is preferably polished like in the image above.
Lastly, I ONLY consider either 6 or 7 spoke wheels. I would never go for 5-spoke because I feel that's too few and anything over 7 is too many. Just my personal preference.
In the end, if you like the design of the wheel, vote for them, although you may not like the color.
P.S. more info about the wheels can be found here: http://www.htawheels.com/product_inf...e0b54b64d816e8

The 99 5spoke are 19.5 each. The ones you're showing are probably in that range but probably more. Sorry to tell you Mac but I'm not feeling them, the look nice but the 3 bolts on each spoke really ruins the wheel. I don't dig the polished lip either but I know you like it so maybe get some rims that look like those but without the bolts. It looks like they're 2 piece cause of the screws but I doubt they are 2 piece.
:
between those 2 wheels, i would go for the motegi's...although i would just save up for a couple months and get some real 6-7 spoke wheels like volk te-37's or gt-7's. Hell, the R1 gt-7's look exactly like the volks...just my .02

you're right Mad-MAX_SE, these do look bad a$$ and I might as well wait and save up:

If you're not short on cash, get some HRE's. 
They will paint the rim any color you want (any color code) and you will have good 3piece forged wheels along wtih a nice polished lip.

Those Mogegi rims look good, and they fit your criteria. I know that a lot of people have bashed Motegi in the past, but my wife has their gunmetal MR-7 on her Celica, and the fit and finish on them is defiantely better than I expected in that price range. Her paint/finish has held up without a scratch for almost 2 years, and they still polish up well after a wash.
Depending on the price of that particular design, I say go for it. I generally like light wheels on dark cars and dark wheels on light cars (except for black, red, and white cars). Black on black looks really good with the right ride height and a little tint.

yo boss i have the exact same tast as you in rims i have been looking for a black rim with a crome lip... i have found a few.. but nothing that i really like..there are a few rev wheels that look good.. www.revwheels.com check them out
How much do the Motegi's weigh?
That has to be a major consideration.
At least with the Volks, you know they will be light, because they are forged. Yeah, they will be stronger, but lighter is of more concern to me. (makes you go faster...he he)
