+1 I agree with Nexx or sell those rims, I'm sure someone will buy it.

Thanx for your input though

I don't think the color looks good either. The rims themselves looks great though, maybe consider repainting it Volk Time Attack style, black spokes with a red lip. That should look very good on those Rays wheels.
