I wish... these are OZ's... nice replicas eh? :)

There actually DZ Lima's ;)

I bought them locally from a guy here in Northern VA. I belive he got them off EBay? He was going to put them on a BMW but ended up having to sell them because he needed cash in a hurry.
 
the DZ's are fine, but they just dont do it for me, seem to break up the lines of the car. I would like something that doesnt stand out quite so much, maybe in a gunmetal color they would look better

Ya well the price I got the car for... wheel color wasn't big deciding factor. Plus when he bought them, they were cheap. Then I guess you also don't like Volks because they are the same pattern for this style. Just about a grand+ more on price. I may get them coated later... not sure though. May not be worth the money to do it from what I have seen local here. About a buck a wheel. (notcool)

Oh I can totally respect that - I do generally like Volks, but i'm not sure, I guess they just stand out a little too much for me. I really like the OEM front lip on the protege's, it extends the car's body lines and makes it look way more expensive than the car really is, but those wheels seem to take away from it. I guess thats just my personal viewpoint, the car looks great, but I think it could look even better!

Wheel color is an issue... I agree. Hrmm... I mean it looks "OK" the way it is. I'd rather a darker wheel. What to do... what to do. Wish I still had my old Sparco Racing wheels... of course they were a different bolt pattern so... (help)

If I could get just the spokes/centers coated dark... leave the lip... I'd be smilin'.

if you like that pattern, you could go with these:
