i need some opinions guys.
i wanna paint these rims bronze so they can look better but i also want to get some si's or hx rims( i found some hx for a good price with good tires, two of them are slicks, they are black with the center cap with the red H, they look really nice) so wat you guys think? should i keep the rims that i have now and paint them bronze or sell them and get a set of si's or hx?

i would trade them for a sat that has good/better tires unless you like them and a picture of your whole car would make the decision easier

Hey man i was in this EXACT situation last week
I had 17inch xenon TSW rims
they were ugly and scratched up
i ran into SI rims for 300$
put them on they looked sick i spent a good 2 days
sanding down my other rims and painted them bronze
(DupliColor bronze from autozone 3.88$ a can ) 2 cans of it did fine
Now my TSW rims look AMAZING i can sell them for atleast 400$ now
or keep them for another set. Id recomend the same
you will really be suprised how nice it turns out.
I did clear coat over it to and spent about a hour sanding each rim with 300 grit .

Keep your current wheels and paint them. They look better than either other option and I wouldnt get the HXs since they are 14s.

I agree, there's a few members on here who have those rims cleaned up and they look way better than si's or HX's

Those wheels are also not common. makes them worth keeping.

Dare to be different and keep the ones you have.

personally I love HX wheels so ofcourse that's how I would vote
but you have to go with what you think is right
