what do u guys think of these?

hey all, just looking for what u guys think of these wheels in 17x7 on a cr/w cooper
originally wanted to get harmann hm4s (pictured below by themselves and on a hamann cooper)

bad news: was quoted a price of $4500AUD! that's with pirelli rubber and i think they are 24lbs or something!
a lot of money for a very heavy wheel!
so i looked for something similar and found these in 17" (below)

they come in a 4x100 stud pattern and only weigh 15lbs plus they are only $2800 with bridgestone potenza G3s...fitted
i thought that's a comparetively good deal...well its an all right deal anyway and i was going to order them when my friend told me that as these enkei are very japanese and usually go on things like lancers and skylines (ricey?!?) they wouldn't look right on my cr/w mini.
so i was wondering what u guys think? i wish i could see them on or next to a car (or wish i knew how to photoshop it - if someone out there knows how....hint hint!?! )
any and all comments are welcome! or if u know some similar wheels, recommendations would be great too! i really like the simple, wide spoke look and would like 17" cheers

IMHO they would look good on CR/W in white or silver. What is the wheel model and do they come in 16 inch?

brand: Enkei
name: WRC Tarmac EVO
i don't think they come in 16", but i know they're definately (country dependant)available in 17x7 and 17x8 and i think maybe in 18" as well. from what i've been able to find online, they come in white and silver and there are two versions, one of which is forged and the other not.
at first i had just seen them on the net but when i walked into my local tire store to ask abt them, while i was waiting, i opened the first pamphlet i saw and there was a great big picture of them...i think that's fate?

i got an exhaust because i wanted to make my car sound fast, but its not fast at all, so therefore i am a ricer....

i think they would look good. if you like em that's all that matters it's your car don't let other people tell you what to do.
