Default new wheels (pics)

alright i know that the fitment isnt propper, but i got these wheels for free because my step dad had no use for them with his new ones (still gave him 300 cuz i felt guilty and they're pretty exspensive rims). but once i get my spacers and tein coilovers on i dont think it will look too bad.
let me know what you guys think.
(oh and sorry for the poor quality, they were taken on my phone)










heres the rims that were on it before

My feeling...What Jim Carey says 1:28 into the video. IMO the rims would look nicer in gold or silver, but beggars can't be choosers.
