Your rims on the car look good.. I'd invest in another area. Such as a rear or front lip kit. Or possibly into lowering the car moreso..

My $0.02 on the matter, after all, it is your car not mine.

Well if you really want to get a different rim, I vote for work emotion.

Thanks for the comments guys..I'm leaning towards the Emotion more and more..

Karumba, the car was lower but undercarriage was getting damaged so had to go w/ Sportlines.

I DO like my wheels guys, but one of them has a small defect and they charge like $150 to get it repaired I thought about fixing it, but unfortunately is never gonna be the same. So I say, save the $150 and just get a new set ...has anyone here fixed their rims before, how do they end up???
I can prolly get a really good deal on the N1s or the Works, but it's a shame cause I really like my 5Zigen

Flik & ProN1 = similar to what you already have. I wouldnt buy something that doesnt look totaly different.
Works are good choice, but expencive.
You current set up looks wery well, as someone said it better to buy something else then wheels.
If you realy want you curent rims to be different. Paint them in flat black!

You have a point, they look similar.
