not sure about the bonnet, id go with the black wheel though. good idea would be to take a picture in the day light of the whole car and photoshop the bonnet black and see what you think :)

the one's you've got dont look to bad, wouldn't do any harm looking around though, i managed to get my SXI wheel for £50. if you dont find any you like then stick with what you've got, you can always spend the money on something else :)
