I'm open to criticism, but I really don't see anything negative about doing this. I've wanted the gold rims look and I've always loved the blacked out look. So I thought "why not enjoy both?" Like I said before, it'll look nice from either side.

I like the idea of different colors or even different rims on each side, if they weigh the same and have the same specs. You can never see both sides of the car at once anyways.

Ok. After doing plenty more research about these XXR 522, I now dislike them. The spokes sticks out past the rim diamter and it looks unattractive from the side view. I'm not getting the XXR 522 anymore. I looked at the XXR 521, but they do not come in 19" sizes. I do not want to go 20", so that rim is off the list.

I still like the idea of mismatching wheels from left and right sides. I am looking at the Avant Garde M310 now. But these are expensive at $1200 a set.

Why not 20s? Are you planning to use your stock tires? I found out sometimes 19 inch tired are more expensive then 20. Sometimes you have to pay to play.

$1200 is still entry level for a set of 19" rims.
You wanna play, you gotta pay!

There is a D1 Drifting team whos car uses two different colored wheels on either side of the car. I thinks its a RX-7 with neon Yellow on one side, and neon pink on the other. I think it looks pretty cool. But of course the car is all decked out, turbo, roll cage, graphics, suspension, etc......Meaning its a whole lot easier for them to get away with it being a racing (drifting) car.
