Looking to buy some nice racing rims

I got a 1990 rx-7 and I'm looking to buy some wheels. Got any recommendations? I was looking at the 5Zigen FN01R-C in either bronze or matt black, or some Volk LE37T in gunmetal. Does anyone know if bronze rims would look good on a red rx-7? I'm for sure getting 17's but I'm not sure how wide I should go. Can someone recommend a good width. I don't plan on racing or drifting.

here are links to the rims I'm considering

I would think that you would be able to tell if they look good, if it looks good to you thats what matters right?

instead of doing LE37's id go for enkei RPM2's. they look almost identical for a fraction of the cost.

He said racing "rims", not boat anchors.

Volk CE28Ns are absurd. 17", 13 lbs. Get ready to pony up some cash, too. SSR Competition wheels are good, but they're a little plain looking and don't have much of a lip.
