When I bought my car, they came with some pretty ugly rims...I have no idea why the previous owner put them on. I have a feeling the dealership just had them laying around and wanted to get rid of them, so the put them on my car before they sold it to me. Bottom line: they're ugly. I need some new ones, but heres the deal:

I have no desire to go beyond 14". I'm not the richest man in the world, and I'd rather not get a new set of tires to fit 17" rims, which I'll already be spending an assload of money on. As far as 14" rims go, I know it's slim pickins, so what do you guys think would look good...as far as brand? I checked out some Konig rims...

...here's the current rims I have:

And heres the ones I thought about getting, although I don't know if they make them anymore:

Heh, I have no money, thats why. It'd be cool to lower, but nah...and I live in South Dakota anyway, where we get like, 5 feet of snow...so I need all season's on there. I just repainted my whole car for $1200...and that about killed me.
