Refurb the standard ones or find another set. Aftermarket wheels in that size don't look as good as standard stuff.

I liek my standard wheels they suit the car, and i havn't seen another SXI with them which is quite nice. Refurb's a lot of money though isnt it? Would a refurb company be able to debadge my alloys?
