Tien,

The starcorps aren't too shiny. I was worried about that too; the only colour available when I was buying was the \"shadow chrome\". They are great though, not mirror finish like chrome.

Sorry to break it to you, you own an mx5, it needs a carefully controlled diet. :P

I'd stick to the factory NB8A rims. They look good, are strong, and pretty light. For anything aftermarket and lighter try looking at anything from VOLK, RAYS, Wedsports, Enkie... but good luck trying to find them for $200ea. You might be lucky with a set of Buddy Club's though, I think a 15x6.5 +38 rims is about 250 (?) so you might be able to find some 2nd hand that fit your budget.
