Default switching wheels? advice

hey guys im thinking about getting some new wheels. This is my set up so far, I would like your honest opinions. I've had these wheels for about a year now and ive only gotten compliments but i dunno if people are just being nice? so i want to know what you guys think.

the orange lip... yay or nay?

3pc work meisters 19x9.5+22 and 19x11+0 (i think)

Sorry, I'm of the other opinion- lose those awful wheels. I bet they're heavier than the OEM Rays as well...

Personally, i've seen worse and i've also seen better. I sorta think its best to go your own way as you can please some people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time and you can run yourself ragged trying to do so. Be your own person.

Yes to the Work wheels. No to the orange lip. But it's your car so if you like the look, stick with it.

I do not hate it, but I feel like it gives the "hey, look at me I'm trying too hard to get your attention" vibe. I like the Nismo because it looks sporty, sleek and aggressive from the factory, but it certainly isn't all in your face about it.

Who cares? If you like the wheels, keep 'em. If you don't, get something else. If you're looking for affirmation on an internet forum, you've come to the wrong place. I'd guess half your responses are going to be "Awesome!" and half your responses are going to be "Hideous!" with varying degrees of elation and vitriol, respectively.
