I've been looking for aftermarket wheels that take the stock design up a notch but aren't too flashy. Here's the best I've found:

Factory:


American Racing Silverstone T:


Unfortunately, they don't come standard with the right spacing and offset. Amercan Racing will do custom ones, but I can't spend that much. Have you seen anything close to these that are reasonably priced and the right size?

I've also thought about getting my stock wheels refinished, but every place I've seen charges as much as an aftermarket wheel. Have you seen better prices?

New factory wheels are about as expensive as many aftermarket wheels.

What's the point of replacing it for it to look almost the same?

I didn't explain myself well, so I edited my posts.

Subtle differences can go a long way. Look at the wheels I have pictured above. I think the Silverstone T, while close in basic design, looks so much better that it would significantly boost the car's appearance. The Ronal R28 that I just found is another example:


This comes with the right bolt spacing too. Hmm...
