the wheels to me are mehhh almost every manufacturer makes these kind of 5 spoke rims even my old protege had rims that look almost exactly the same as these, but damn this car looks so good with the sidemarkers.. why didn't they just leave them on for the US cars! arghhh

I like em! nice classic 5-spoke design, hopefully since this is part of the x-package they will be sold as aftermarket like the ISP or G's.
