I grabbed those off CL for $20 today to replace the mis-matched steel wheels (three 7 spoke, 1 spare) on my '03 (which I still don't have yet) They look way better in this picture than they do in person.

I have a dumb question - are the little black screw things functional or just decorative? A couple of them are bent/broken if you look at them closely. The rest of the rims are in okay shape, the clearcoat is peeling like mad and there a few dings but nothing major. I work out of a body shop (I do custom paint, not actual body work) and will either strip/polish/clear them or just prime and paint them, depending on how much of a PITA they turn out to be. Either way I like them WAY more than the 7 spoke ones.
 
I would paint the spokes a dark color and polish the lips. I think with a little work these will look real good. nice buy.
